Wedding kilts, yes or no?
I'm marrying a Scottish man, and I am American. Our wedding will be in the USA. Since it is normal for Scottish grooms and groomsmen to wear kilts at weddings, we are planning on doing that. I am just worried about what my extended family might think...would you find seeing a bunch of guys in kilts at a wedding? Oh, and my fiance is ACTUALLY Scottish, not some Canadian/American who claims to be a quarter Scottish on his mother's side..

I think it's wonderful when Scottish men wear kilts at weddings. I think it's only cheesy or tacky if a groom who is NOT Scottish wears one.
Your family won't judge him, it's his heritage and pretty much everyone in the US is aware that Scottish people wear kilts at their own weddings. It's not like they won't know what it is or why when they see it.

I don't think it's ever wrong to represent your heritage at an important event. If he wants to wear a kilt, go for it. But be gracious give the groomsmen the option to wear a suit instead of a kilt - remember, it's not for everyone, especially if some of the groomsmen aren't Scottish.

Absolutely go for it. It's his heritage.
I might be biased because I love a man in a kilt, but even if I didn't have a thing for dudes in kilts, I would still be polite enough to respect the fact that it is his heritage and if that's what he wants to wear at his wedding then so be it.

I go to Renn faires, so I personally is accustomed to seeing kilts (I myself own one, although I don't wear it often).
Your extended family will get over it, I'm sure.

the guests would probably think it's cool. I went to a wedding with bagpipes once but no kilts. just make sure the guys don't go commando ;)

Just make sure they wear underwear or are VERY careful if they don't. I saw a little too much of a friend's dad in high school at a wedding and it scarred me for life!

Do it Do it Do it!
Weddings are YOUR day, and when you can add personal touches to your wedding to let people know more about you, your culture, your story, do it! :)
Okay, I don't know your extended family well, but yes do it :)

I think that would depend on their characters and tastes! They might find it funny, or sweet or anything really. Personally, I think that because it sounds like something you want, it will be just fine. :)
Good luck and best wishes.

as a fellow Scot, i say of course he should wear it
its his decision not your extended families
as a scot I am proud of my heritage
i live in scotland so its maybe a bit different
but i do know where ever i lived in the world, my heart would always be in Scotland
i doubt he will want to wear anything else
good luck, and congratulations
