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

It's not your wedding. It's theirs.

You have the choice of doing it their way, or not going. It's up to them to decide what the wedding party is wearing.

Now, that said... it does open up some interesting possibilities for the toasts later at the reception.

Agreed, and I'll take it a step further. For our wedding, I realizied it wasn't "ours" so much as "hers."

If he's really your buddy, don't start his wedded life miserably by giving him a pissed-off bride.

If he's smart, he already knows this.

I certainly did... it only took one disagreement over a wedding detail, and then after that it was "Well, honey, I think we might consider doing it this way, but if you want to do it that way, I'm okay with that."

My girlfriend says that if we get married, I'll be wearing my dress blues for the wedding and my kilt for the reception. I suppose I can live with that.

I'm getting married in a few short months (and I'm making the 6 kilts for the wedding party). I know how sad I would feel if anyone in the party said that they were insulted I was asking them to wear a kilt. Be there for your friend regardless of the dress code -- or don't be there at all. (Now we got engaged just before halloween and when we asked my ring bearer to do his task this very intelligent four year old informed me that "I'm going to be a wizard not a bear. I don't want to be a bear because wizard's are cooler." when I explained he said "But I don't want to be a bear. I want to be a wizard." Now that halloween is past he is looking forward to it (and I showed him what (our) ring bearer will wear, and he thinks its pretty cool)
