There is only one solution, really. Go to the wedding in trousers. But sneak into the church (or wherever they're having the ceremony) and set up your special surprise ahead of time ...

... Then, just after the bride and groom say their vows and everyone applauds, pull the string holding the bucket over the newlyweds and dump a bucketful of pig's blood on the bride!

And then -- this is absolutely vital -- play a tape of Piper Laurie crying, "THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!!! THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!!!" in an infinite loop. Oh, my, the bride will sure get some attention then!

Which is, after all, what she wanted. Everybody's happy!

Does this happen a lot?
If I am just attending a wedding I wear what I want. If they don't want my kilt there they don't want me there. Of course I wouldn't wear something that would be inappropriate or embarassing. The bride and the the groom needs to decide to take people as they are not as they would like them to be.

My daughter asked me not to wear a kilt to her boyfriends graduation because some of his family might not understand. Long story short, I didn't go to the graduation because you have to take me as I am. I am too old and stubborn to change for anyone.

I'm going to have to both agree and disagree.

As long as the outfit matches the requested level of formality, it should be fine - I believe the bride is being unreasonable in this case.

However, I also think that a goodly number of wedding guests these days are very inappropriately informal in their dress - showing up in dirty sneakers, torn jeans, and a T-shirt is rude, I think, where even making the effort for slacks, a dress shirt, and a tie would be minimal.
