No kilt at the wedding, or some people still don't get it

LOL - just take the kilt to change into for the reception and dancing!

I have to say absolutely do not do this.

I fully agree with Caradoc. The wedding party and principle guests (MC, Ushers etc) wear what you tell them to wear, and changing out of it later is rude and insulting to the bride and groom.

If you don't like the outfit, don't go, or decline to be in the wedding party. If you can't do something as simple as wear a tux for one night for a friend, then you shouldn't be in the wedding party in the first place.

However there's nothing wrong with some good-natured ribbing for making you wear it .. ;)

I think this would probably be my inclination as well.

Change into kilt & kit for the dinner & dance. The formal wear attire tends to be shed quickly anyway once the refreshments start flowing... as do the inhibitions of the guests. So I'm not so sure I'd even ask... I'd just show up and let it be a surprise.

I don't know the reasons they don't want kilts, but I can give my take. I did get married in a kilt, but there was another option me and my lady were considering. Tails, silk top hat, and white satin spats. Real ones, not the rental lookalikes. The kilt won out for many reasons, but I do like the elegant look of the early 20th century, even if it does include trousers. I'd rather be kilted, but in the end the choice of the theme is up to the bride and groom (for the most part.)
