Groom in tux or kilt?

I love a kilt...as long as it wouldn't seem totally out of left field to your guests. If your Scottish heritage is a big part of your lives and your wedding I say go for it!

I think you should do what means the most to both of you. If your Scottish decent is a big part of your identity I think he should wear one. Also consider how your FH clans kilt works with you colour scheme.

My brother didn't have a wedding party, but his best friend wore a kilt to his wedding. It looked awesome and unique. It was the talk of the guests and everyone loved it. I mean, what other occasions do you get to wear a kilt?

Hmm. I like uniqueness, but for the wedding I tend to go with more classic options. I don't know much about the tradition around it, but it reminds me of an outdoorsy daytime event. If you are going with a formal or semi-formal event, I would go with a tux. Is he having groomsmen? If so, what would they wear kilts or tuxes?

@Elyse I disagree with you. I think kilts are very formal, actually.

Kilt! My friend got married in his kilt, and they incorporated a lot of Scottish/Celtic touches. I thought it was great. As the others mentioned, if your Scottish heritage is important to you both, do it. I don't think you have to worry about matching formality, you can dress up or down a kilt however is appropriate.

Uh....how is this even a question? KILT.

Eh, I had to wear a kilt all through high school, so I guess it killed the formality for me.

Definitely do the kilt!

Kilt! I would love to see that! Any chance all the GM could wear one, too?

I vote kilt! The one issue may be price if he doesn't own one. A good kilt is like $200.

Coming from a Highland Dancer- KILT! And to anyone who doesn't know- Kilts ARE formal men's attire.

Kilts all day !!! Formal and fun

We are both largely Scottish and I'd love a kilt. I'd definitely make sure it's his family tartan, though, and not generic novelty.

My family is Scottish (we immigrated to Canada when I was young), so my Dad wore a kilt. My nephew was our ring bearer and he also wore a kilt. My husband didn't, because it didn't mean anything to him. If it had meaning to your FH and he wants to wear one, go for it! My Dad wore the the formal version and my Uncle (our MC) went with a Ghillie shirt which was more casual.

Sorry- this wouldn't post then went nutty! Here is the ghillie shirt photo. I think the formal kilt is really sharp!

Since it is your heritage, I say go kilt! Kilts look sharp. Although, if it was just a random fashion choice, I wouldn't care for it as much.

This might sound a little shallow, and I'm not at all saying you shouldn't do it, but take into consideration how it will work with your colors. Since this is something that is meaningful to both of you and not just a whim I assume he would wear his or your family's colors and not just any old kilt, right? I don't know what your colors or your families' patterns are so it could totally work. Just something to think about.

I love the idea of the Kilt! I love keeping/adding cultural items to weddings.
