I've been meaning to visit Wales for a while and should be able to do so in the summer. Any suggestions?

I think it's fantastic that young people such as yourself are keeping the kilt alive and well. You look great in yours BTW. Congrats on your upcoming wedding and best of luck with your relocation.

Thanks for the welcome, and the good wishes.
I'm one of those people that thinks it's important not to let our past or culture slip away.
Kilt's shouldn't just be worn at weddings, especially as they're so versatile.
My sister and I are making an effort to speak gaelic after it died in our family with our great-grandfather.
My dad always brought us up to be proud of who we were and keep it alive.
Hopefully we'll see a resurgance in that attitude along with this fashion of kilts that's sprining up lately.

Thanks for the welcome.
Being from North Carolina, I don't suppose you've heard of the Outlander books?
(I know, I know. My fiance was gulled into reading them by her father and she got me to read them with much protesting before I accepted they were actually really good books.)
I just wondered if you get the same kind of comments about them as we do here.

Welcome to the rabble from Oklahoma, and congratulations on your future wedding.

Thank you for the wonderful wishes.
Hopefully I'll be posting pictures of the wedding before you know it.
Is Kansas really the best place to grow sunflowers? I keep hearing that.
