dirk

[OC Richard]

At my wedding I wore the dirk at the reception, but not at the actual wedding ceremony.

I was wearing a Prince Charlie. I suspended the dirk from the cloth belt of the belted plaid I was wearing, something I often did back then.

I wore the dirk at the reception because, sort of as a joke, I drew it to cut the cake. Makes for some interesting wedding photos.

Hardly a joke. It's done quite often. You might think it funny, but some of us might think it's a pretty handy way to cut cake!

I have actually had couple ask to use mine for exactly that! I don't wear it to officiate, of course, but I make no bones about my living history involvement, as anyone visiting my Facebook page can see, so couples looking at my personal photos know I have a dirk. I've actually bought a cheap dirk as a "loaner" for cases where the couple wants to cut the cake with one of those "little swords."

Quite right!

Now why should the groom wear a dirk? Isn't it the groomsmen's job to deal with any objectors? >

What he said! Besides, what if the cake decides to fight back?!?
