Terrible News

Not wanting to hijack this thread but I had a positive experience. I had an enjoyable time at a friends wedding yesterday in my tank and Argyll jacket. I asked my friend a while ago if he had any problems with me wearing a kilt as I didn’t want to draw attention away from him or the bride. I asked him if his fiancé would mind? He told me she had been fairly sheltered most of her life and would probably be very interested in the kilt. Needless to say, the wedding went off without a hitch and both the bride and groom’s family loved the kilt and had nothing but positive comments. In fact the bride’s father took me aside and told me he had an interest in other cultures and their traditions and expressed his admiration for the kilt I was wearing. As could be expected throughout the evening, conversations ranged from tartans and clans to scotch and haggis. The Bride and I had three dances in a row until this old man had to give it up.

Well I am being honest, If a friend asked me not to wear my kilt at their wedding, I am affraid I would decline their invitation. Maybe thats why I do not have many friends.

I once read that when dressing for a wedding you should avoid being mistaken for a member of the wedding party if you are not actually in the wedding party. Bridezilla has given you the information you need (on several levels, methinks).

Ladies should also not wear black to a wedding either, but who pays attention to *that* advice anymore either?

Maybe not nice, cruel, narrow minded or whatever, but give in...it's her wedding and she makes the rules...c'est la vie

I would strongly disagree with you. After all, if the wedding was just about the bride, there would be no point in having a groom, would there?

If Dave agrees to his bride's wishes, that's fine. But if wearing a kilt at his own wedding is important to him, I think it is fair to ask that she give some ground towards a compromise. If she is entirely unwilling to bend... frankly, I don't think that is a good sign regarding their future life together.

Reread the OP. Dave's male friend's wife-to-be doesn't want Dave to wear the kilt. Dave is not getting married (at least so far as he is telling us in this thread).

I have made such gaffes on this board too, TechBear, so welcome to the club.

Oops, my bad. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

This is just my opinion....if my friend asked me to stand for him at his wedding ,he would probably know that I would want to wear my kilt.If I said yes and he accepted the idea of a kilt but his soon to be wife didn't,I would bow down to the bride ....it is her party...If I was just getting an invite to watch the occasion,I would wear what I want,and it would be a kilt and if the bride to be still whinned about it.....I wouldn't attend....thats me...cheers
