Getting married in probably May 2011. Had no idea idea my intended felt so strongly about the kilt. Her first question after I proposed was "You are going to wear a kilt to the wedding, right?"

Especially appreciate the "ten ways" thread. I know I'll be skipping white hose and ghillie brogues already, thanks to you guys.

Heard Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin do this song recently:

April in Fairbanks,
There's nothing more appealing.
You 'll find your blood congealing
In April in Fairbanks.
Bright Arctic moonlight illuminates the ice-floes
When ev'rybody's breath shows
In April.

You've never known the charm of Spring
Until you hear a walrus sighing.
The air is perfumed with the smell of blubber frying.
April in Fairbanks;
You'll suddenly discover
A Polar Bear's your lover
In Fairbanks.
Subzero weather
Will turn your skin to leather
Your jaws will lock together
In April in Fairbanks.
North Polar breezes will sing you a cadenza
And bring you influenza
In April
I'll leave the Rivera to the fools who want a fancy palace.
Give me an igloo , the Aurora Borealis.
April in Fairbanks;
I really can't believe it.
I know I'll never leave it alive this April.

...if it's not the Official Song Of Fairbanks, we should start a facebook group to nominate it.

Best

AA

Congrats about the upcoming wedding.
I love kilts at weddings, everybody wants to wear one too.
Many moons ago I lived in North pole Alaska for awhile....was too cold up there so I moved back to Kenai.
