My wife and I went to our friends wedding this evening and I went kilted
(Irish National). It was not a kilted wedding even though the bride is Irish. Had good comments from many, including a Kennedy who was stationed in Scotland during WWII. Anyway, a woman came and told my wife Kim that several people had asked at the table she was seated at, what was that guy
( me ) wearing. The woman told my wife how she explained that it was a kilt and that it represented respect for my heritage and it was a type of formal wear like a tux. I've defended the kilt myself on several occasions but other than my wife or close friends I've never had someone else stand up for the kilted. I wish there was some award for those people who do.
A big thanks to Allen H. for the jacket conversion ideas. Wish I could post pics. but lack a camera. Hopefully will get some shots to share next week when I attend a traditonal Scottish wedding ( kilted of course ).
So, have you ever had someone else stand up for the kilt?
