The power of the kilt is noticed by many people. A few weeks ago my husband and I renewed our wedding vows (now that the marriage itself will be recognized by the state of california). It was part of a group service for several members of the church who were "upgrading" their domestic partnerships to marriage, and was done during the church service. My husband and I are both in the choir and had to be dressed for that, but my best man was able to attend the service, and in honor of us, wore the kilt that I have built for him for our original wedding. He got several compliments from the church members, but his trip to the church was the best story.

He had to drop his son off at his mothers house (for some grandparent/grandchild bonding time) on his way to our church service. He couldn't get a great parking place, and ended up parking about a block from his folks house. After he dropped his son off, a woman (of advanced years) stopped her car, and called him over to her. Jeremy wondered what was up. She said "Young man, I want to tell you how nice you look and how wonderful to see someone dressed so respectfully in a kilt. You have made my day."

I was so jealous that he was in a kilt and i wasn't!

The power of the kilt: at least 100 great comments for each idiotic comment we endure with grace!
