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

Wow, when I posted this, I really didn't expect to get slammed.

It wasn't my intent to "slam". Not at all.

My response was more directed at some of the replies than you. I didn't get the impression from your OP that you had any intention of wearing anything but what they wanted.

But, I still maintain that wedding party wears what they're told - and for the entire duration of the wedding. Wanting to change into something else at the reception is not acceptable unless you first seek permission, and ESPECIALLY not as a 'surprise'. Brides hate surprises. Photographs go on all night - they chose the outfits to give the wedding a look they enjoyed, and that should be maintained at the dinner and dance.

If you're not in the wedding party, that's a different story. However I do think it is still polite to check with the couple before wearing a kilt to their wedding. Some may have concern that you will draw attention away from them. While you may not agree, this is the one day in their lives where they get to be right, and if they don't want you to wear it, you don't, or you don't go.

I did not wear a kilt to a wedding yesterday - I was there as the photographer, not as a participant per se. I didn't even ask the couple if I could wear a kilt.

I therefore wore my "nice" black pants, dark green shirt, and tried to make myself as unobtrusive as possible.

However... I'm pretty sure that even in a kilt, I couldn't possibly have drawn any attention away from them.

I really wish I were, but unfortunately it is just a family visit with the inlaws.
