Prom Kilted?

[CDNSushi]

I'm not saying you SHOULD do either, but I will re-state what I said earlier.
Prom isn't about the guy.

Respectfully, my friend, I disagree... And although I'm pretty sure I'll catch flak over this by just about everyone, I equally disagree with notions that weddings are only about the bride too.

For some, this may be the case. But I fail to understand why a man's wishes and desires are allowed to be crushed solely on the basis of his gender. Whether it's a prom or a wedding, for most of us, each of these are a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and having had enough once-in-a-lifetime things ruined for me by other people (although not in the sense of the two aforementioned examples) let me assure you that the fact that I'm a man doesn't make it SUCK any less and wish I would have done things differently.

This is precisely why my wife and I AGREED and compromised on all aspects of our wedding, and it's also precisely why we eloped in the end -- because parents were turning the whole affair into something it should have never been.

The best advice I can give, is do what will make your heart happy so that 20, 30, 40 or more years down the line you can look back at the event and say that you were truly happy to do what you did... If that means wearing a kilt, then do it. If it means compromising and wearing a suit with pants instead, so be it -- as long as you can be happy with your decision. Life is too short to let others dictate what should or shouldn't make us happy.
