Groom dressed in Kilt at Wedding Reception?

It doesn't matter if anyone thinks it is inappropriate. It is THEIR wedding. It is not just the bride getting married. This is for BOTH of them.

It's none of your business, and it's no one else's business. It's his heritage, and if he wants to wear it then everyone else needs to just stay out of it.

Talk about petty wedding drama, this is pretty much the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

You DO realize you are the nightmare mother-in-law cliche, don't you?

Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong and trying to cause trouble for your daughter and her future husband.

I don't think him dressing nicely will take any focus off the bride. And isn't this his day too? Shouldn't he be able to wear what he wants too? Especially if it is customary wedding attire for his culture. I don't think that's selfish at all. I have been to several weddings where the groom was Scottish and wore his traditional kilt and coat. I haven't ever remembered it being distracting, most people thought the bride and groom looked beautiful together, especially since he dressed up nicely and in something you don't see on every groom. Plus, the photos were amazing. I think it would be selfish for the bride to tell him he had to wear a suit so all the focus was on her. The focus should be on the new couple, not just the bride.

I think you should tell your daughter that this is not a day all about her. It is a day about her and her soon to be husband. He deserves to wear his traditional wedding attire as much as she deserves to wear the perfect dress.

Not your concern. Plenty of Scottish men (bride/groom's dad, groom) wear kilts during a wedding to show their cultural heritage. I went to one where the bride's dad wore one and it did not, at any second, rob any attention from the Bride. The wedding is equally for the groom as it is for the bride. Mentioning anything to your daughter will certainly provoke unnecessary drama and tension between the bridal couple on an issue that is so silly. As a former bride who had to deal with an overbearing Mother in Law, please do your daughter a favor and leave it alone!

It is not inappropriate at all. In all honesty no matter what someone wears or does or even if they may think they're prettier they will NEVER outshine the bride. It never actually happens the bride is always the most beautiful. Also, this isn't just the bride's day. It's the husbands too. If your daughter is not going to be happy about it talk over it with him and see what he thinks as well. Good luck

NOTHING takes attention away from the bride and to think one, male or female, must dress like a wallflower so they do not outshine the only BRIDE in a fancy white wedding gown and veil is silly....

I think he will look sharp and that can only ENHANCE the overall look of the couple...notice I said COUPLE???? Why shouldn't the groom enjoy the spotlight as well after all it is HIS WEDDING and HIS big day too...

Pshaw, Mom...leave the couple alone and stop putting silly selfish thoughts into your daughter's head, really......

I think your daughter is being rather selfish by not liking his choice of dress. A wedding is for both bride and groom. Why shouldn't he want to dress smartly, its his wedding too, the attention isn't all about the bride, its a special day for both parties, would she rather he dress in jeans and t-shirt? Would she like it if he asked her to dress down a bit because her wedding gown is too 'over the top'?

The most important thing is that they are getting married and they should enjoy the day together!

Stay out of it. What the groom wears will never lessen the Bride, ever. He us wearing an entirely appropriate outfit. Selfish is worrying the Bride will not get all of the attention. He is part of the Bridal couple, after all-not some trashy guest. This is a truly petty thought, he is wearing his finest Family apparel family she will now be joining. Her sons will wear the same plaid later. This had a far deeper meaning than any rented tux could ever match. He is honoring her-not detracting from her.

Stop soliciting opinions from others about this deeply personal choice. They lack understanding.

HOw will it take away from the bride? And isn't the day about BOTH of them? If he is Scottish and wants to abide by his cultures traditions then so be it. I have been to loads of Scottish weddings and not one time was everyone in awe by the groom and the groomsmen.

Obviously your future son in law is scotch and in that case its beautiful and why not. My neice married a scot and he was in a kilt and she looked beautiful. It added to the ceremony. They had bag pipes bring them into the church.

Your daughter needs to know her future husband wishes count as well. Its not all about your daughter.

I think it's absolutely awesome.

The wedding is for BOTH of them, not just your daughter.
