Kilt allowed in Col. Catholic wedding?

Now that is a good question.

In Colombia men carry purses, I don't think a matching skirt should be a problem, as long as it is tasteful. ;-)

kilts The addition of Irish Kilts to the world is fairly recent. Most of the Irish Tartans were created in the late 19th Century.

Priests in Colombia wear 'dre Priests in Colombia wear 'dresses' aka Cassocks/Soutanes-WTF would he care if your Fiance wears a skirt?

Well knowing Catholic priests we all know the answer don't we?

I agree with Sam Salmon There is no reason I know of why your finance could not wear an Irish kilt in the wedding. May you both have a long and happy marriage.

Absolutely no reason why he can't wear a kilt. I've been to Catholic weddings where the entire male side of the wedding party are wearing kilts, and a lot of the male guests who are not directly involved in the wedding party have been wearing them aswell.
Not unless there is a rule specific to Colombia or South America, as for that I can't help you, but in the UK it is not a problem, happens all the time.

As long as you were them with underwear, you don't want to upset the priest and guests if a blast of wind suddenly lift your kilt and only to discover that you are "au nature" ;)

I think there shouldnt be any problem, but my little experience with catholic priest is that sometimes they can be very sensitive about some issues.

So why dont you ask the priest of the church where you are getting married. Meet with him an explain him that is a tradition in your fiances country and is very important for him to be able to use it. Just so you dont have any unconfortable reaction from the priest the day of your wedding.

Tell your future hubby... Go ahead and wear the Kilt and if some guy comes up to him and asks what does he were under that thing he should say, "your girlfriends lipstick"

...and so it goes

Hoot Man! A novel idea. Find the priest first and then just ask.

BTW I'm with Kat, man, some guys can *really* wear kilts.

r.dongers... being from the good ole isles, it appears you're a bit of a naysayer on kilts...why is that.

just might start a fad in colombia. why not? being a good catholic, i know that if anybody is familiar with wearing (long) skirts, it's my priest(s).

to the poster...you can as other posters have said, chat about it with the parish priest, but from my own experience of marriages in colombia, they can be anything from the most formal, to the most casual/loose somewhere on a finca. go for it.
