At one wedding I attended, the best man offered a toast. Literally. A piece of toast.
It was the best and funniest thing he could do under the circumstances, as the cultural, religious and political disparities between the bride's and groom's families verged on the Montagues and Capulets.
The other piece of wedding toast advice is: Remember. It's not about you today. You've already admitted you'd not wear the kilt for any other reason. Plenty of us here do wear the kilt for any reason at all. While we're mostly an open-minded bunch, some fellow taking a cheap shot at a culture, heritage, and manner of dress that we find congenial would engender not a laugh, but a sad shake of the head that he'd not been better raised.
Having been a member of a "posse" that pulled an obnoxious drunk off the dance floor for some forcible sobering-up at a wedding, I can say with all seriousness that there will likely be people there who can express their displeasure quite effectively.
You'll make your own decision, of course. I think you may have gathered that a majority of those here who've responded don't think much of the idea.
Cheers, eh!
