Seeking "Kilted at the Beach" Experience?

[Deil the Yin]

Attending a wedding this weekend at Mexico Beach (Florida), or rather ON Mexico Beach, and the wifey really wants me to wear the kilt (and I usually aim to please in these cases):

Gut feeling is sand+wool does not equal comfourt. Plus it's a SUPER casual wedding, ie down home North Florida style- wedding party will probably be barefoot and the groom may even wear shorts (no camo, though) and they're doing low country boil. I've worn the kilt with flip flops before, but my feelings are mixed on how well that really works for me. Balancing kilt formality with Southern laid back settings can be tricky business, if yall smell what I'm steppin' in...

So does anyone else have practical wisdom/experience/advice for being kilted at, and especially ON the beach?

Much obliged for the input.

Aye,
Wesley
