Wearing a kilt to an American Daytime Wedding

I guess my "circle" is different than yours.

Sandy,
I believe you're right. And you and I are not arguing here; we just have different experiences, both of which might be helpful to someone else. Several years ago, it was expected that men would wear at least a tie, if not the coat to go with it. At the last several weddings I've attended, many of the men wore neither coat nor tie, and went with open collars, including some Hawaiian shirts.
I'm next-to-the-youngest of 29 grandchildren, and have attended or been involved with many weddings, and have seen all sorts of dress, some of them quite inappropriate, others very well put together and in impeccable taste.

Different horses, I suppose.

Is there anything on the invitation regarding attire? If it were me, I'd wear the PC if the invte stated black tie or black tie optional. Otherwise I'd go with the Argyle.

Good call on asking the couple their preference though. Definitely your best bet.

Food for thought -

I was a groomsman at my wife's brother's wedding this past weekend. The Groom and us groomsmen all wore PC's, black bow-ties and ghillies. They had a piper there as well. I think he had the right idea in mind. He wore his kilt, with a black argyle, a dark colored shirt, a black long tie, ghillies and black hose.

He looked really nice, but did not detract from the wedding party in this least - I'm sure this was his intent.

The thing to ask yourself is whether or not the wedding party wants you to stand out, whether they care, or whether they want you to be kilted, but not make the rest of them look bad.

Proper Southern manners from these parts dictate that those properly at the center of attention, stay at the center.
