    Angry Pay back time?

    So my hubby is finally getting a tank (yay!)

    My question is this: Should he wear it to my mom's wedding?


    Here's the juicy background info:
    My hubby had rented a nice kilt outfit for OUR wedding. We got married in Billings, MT so we stayed at my parents' house (my parents were still married then...) We were to be married the next day.

    Well, unbeknownst to us, my mother had RETURNED hubby's kilt the day before and EXCHANGED it for a tuxedo and pants. So an hour before we were supposed to get married (on New Year's Eve Day so a lot of places including the rental places were closed) we discovered this and we had to get all our wedding pictures with my new hubby in pants.

    When confronted my mother said she, "Didn't think kilts were appropriate wedding attire and didn't want me to to look back on my wedding day with regret."


    So now she's getting remarried in January....should he do some pay back?

    HELL YAH!

    Wear a Tartan skirt or dress too!

    (I still don't forgive my inlaws for forceing us to get married in Ohio instead of Michigan. oh.... the problems we had because of that.... while my dad was dieing, i had to go to SC while she drove many times between Ann Arbor and Dayton, sometimes both ways the same day, when we found a place we loved 10 minutes from our apartment.)

    My knee jerk reaction is to go ahead and do it, however upon reflection I would say be the bigger person. There is no reason to perpetuate a Family Feud. My mom and Dad always say "Two Wrongs don't make a Right" something to think about.

    I don't want to threadjack, but hey there in Afton - I'm from Rock Springs and emigrated to Denver. I guess I couldn't stand the excitement of the small town. :P

    Now as to the question at hand, I say do it!

    YES YES YES, regardless of the kilt aspect, behaviour like that should always be paid back, make sure its in good taste, and make sure she knows it payback and what for. Have fun with it and good luck.

    Unbelievable. If my wife's mother did that I would have been tempted to reschedule the wedding and tell all the guests why. I think you need to arrange for your mother's new husband to wear a kilt, wouldn't that be good surprise for her...

    Now that is a VERY good suggestion.
