5 People You Meet in Heaven

I think you're right; weddings are still the "Costume" catagory of attire. How many times have we seen new members say they had a wedding kilt, but hadn't considered wearing it since? It's the casual-wear examples that will make the difference.

I guess what I mean is, weddings are key to kilts becoming more accepted by the mainstream. "Hey, he's wearing a kilt! I wore one for my friend's wedding. Cool!"

Obviously, you don't see people running around in a tuxedo or dinner jacket unless they're going to the prom or are part of a wedding party. They wear one at a wedding and find out how comfortable they are, then see someone wearing one casually and maybe something clicks? The number of kilted weddings is still very low. But, again, the more people see kilted weddings in the movies, the more people are going to want a kilted wedding of their own, the more people are going to try the kilt.

When I was looking around for info on weddings/planners/photographers/etc. I came across a site where they showed the world's worst wedding dresses, cakes and the like. Well beside the silly Star Trek themed weddings and powder blue tuxedos they had the full highland outfit with the comment that unless your dad wore a kilt or you wear one regularly the site author didn't feel that you should wear a kilt at your wedding.

I was a little offended, but at the same time, we all still fit the description of that that trouser tyrant feels is appropriate wedding attire.
