Wedding kilt?

I'm getting married in the summer, and am thinking of wearing a kilt for the wedding, like this:

http://www.slanj.co.uk/KiltPackageDetails.aspx?pid...

I'm not Scottish, but my fiancee is and I think it would be a nice gesture to her and her family. I'd quite like to surprise her, because I think she just assumes I would never wear a kilt. How do you think it looks, and is it a good idea? Can a non-Scotsman wear a kilt at a wedding, and should it be in my fiancee's family tartan?

Also, if I wear earrings in both ears, will that look odd with the whole traditional outfit? All advice welcome, thanks!

    Im not much for kilts, but that one is very nice! Talk to someone in her family that would keep it a secret and find out if a non-scotsman can wear one(i dont see why not). If you do plan on wearing one, wear it in her family tartan...

    as for earrings, if they are low key(studs, not too "blingy") i dont see why not!

    Congrats!

    I would talk to her about this if I was you. My fiance is wearing a kilt to our wedding, but it took a while for me to get used to the thought of it. I always pictured marrying a guy in a tux (or suit at least). I've had to change how I picture my wedding day. I know how important it is to him, so I don't mind, but I wouldn't be pleased if he showed up in one without me knowing a head of time.

    I think it would look great. Marry and Scot and you marry into her clan.Her family tartan.Are you sure you don't have a wee bit in your blood?Ask her father,daddy knows best.Personally the only one wearing earrings at a wedding should be the bride,why not wear one and have her wear the other. "Something old,something new,something borrowed something blue.You can start your own tradition. How sweet. Congratulations on your wedding.

    you should speak to your fiance or her family about this.. she may find it flattering or she may not like it.. also if you pick something other than her family's tartan due to it matching her color scheme you may end up picking a clan they do not get along with or something silly like that... i don't think there is anything wrong with a non-scot wearing a kilt.. i know a lot of people who have done things like this for their weddings..

    will your groomsmen be in kilts too? you may be able to rent them.. do some research online..
