    Irish Kilts

    Just don't dis the tradition...and...a wee dram translates to; 1. a pint of Guinness or 2. 3 fingers of Jamison in a dirty glass.

    Ok I'll sit this on out. Sometimes you see something that you really don't want to see. Then it's stuck in your mind and won't go away. That is bad enough but then someone has to disrespect Lynyrd Synyrd. :cornut:

    Apok if you go with the kilt, please please NO PICTURES. And I don't want to know what you did or did not have on under your kilt! :yikes:

    MCS02, when I'm piping, what is worn under my kilt is a pair of Lovat green kilt hose a hand made sgian dubh and a pair of black ghillie brogues. Nothing there to get excited about. What is to be exciting about is the silver quaichs tucked in the sporran for that wee dram after.

    This is what "Johnny" Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd would have looked like if he was Scottish and not born in Jacksonville, Florida. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    I like Lynyrd Skynyrd. As a matter of fact every year on Monday morning when I drive in to MOTD on 129 from the Knoxville TN side as soon as I see the water I play the Southern National Anthem.

    As a matter of fact, the local retired city fire marshal is in the process of recruiting prospective band members in a three county area to get a firefighter's pipe band organized around here. He's been in the drum corps of a central OK band that makes the annual pilgrimage to the Lewisville TX firefighter's pipe band gathering. He's roped me into helping get any prospective pipers up and running, first meeting is just a couple weeks away. I don't know what it is but there's just something right about pipe bands and firefighters just like Dalmatians belong on fire trucks.

    Having a Scot play the pipes for an Irishman's wedding...wouldn't that be like having an Abarth at a MINI event (or a MINI at an Abarth event, depending on your opinion of Scots and the Irish):wink:

    Thank you much. Vegas was the original plan, but we decided that money was better spent on our house.

    I was the best man at my oldest friends wedding a couple of years ago, and though his wife absolutely forbade us from wearing kilts, she thought we would flash the wedding, she did let us all walk out to the Imperial March. Though we were led to believe that she said no to that, and we didnt know till the music started when we walked out. It was kinda awesome.

    Well since we arent doing all the fancy crap, yeah the Utilikilt is still pretty pricey. As said before we are eloping to Hocking Hills and taking nobody with us. Our rings are super reasonable, Im getting titanium, lol. So really the Utilikilt would be the second most expensive thing in the wedding next to the chapel that will be marrying us, lol. We are being kinda cheap, lol!

    Kinda cheap, huh? Something you seem to have overlooked while worrying about the cost of 'stuff'. You are hitching yourself to the most expensive thing on the list.....THE BRIDE! But, as long as you can handle the tariff that one will outlast everything else if you take real good care of it.

    Congrats and have FUN!!!
    15 years ago, my fiancée and I decided to get married in Vegas on St. Patrick's day (And yes, he is Irish). Erik and I flew into Las Vegas on March 17 first thing in the morning. Neither of us had ever been to Vegas. After collecting licenses from the courthouse, (that is some of the best people watching a person can do right there) on the cab ride back, we saw a tiny chapel near our hotel and stopped to see if they could fit us in around sunset. They did. To our delight was an Irish minister! She was fantastic...
    So to you and your bride,
    "May the road rise to meet you.May the wind always be at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand".
    If you're going to don a kilt, wouldn't it be EPIC if everyone else attending did too? :biggrin5:

    I think kilts are just for Scots, are you Scottish or of Scottish descent?

    Dunno about Scottish, but there is a lot of Irish back in the family. The Irish use the kilt as well, though they do not use a tartan pattern as those belong to the Scottish clans.

    I just think it would be a fun deviation from the standard wedding. And Ive been involved in enough of those to hate them. Plus its just me and the lady, so we thought we would have some fun with it.
