Kilts And Other Cultural Attire
Many men may moan and whine when asked to wear their cultural attire on any other day of the year. But, when it comes to their wedding, most men with strong family traditions or customs are happy to don traditional garments. This might include a kilt, hakama and haori, or even sherwani. It often doesn’t matter where in the world you are marrying. A wedding is a big family event so traditional and family customs from each culture often play a part.

Sometimes it’s nice to see two different cultures joining together.
