My husband wore his family plaid to our wedding and it's the one thing people who were there remember, five years later. Not the "Steel Magnolias" reception theme on which I worked so hard. Not the exquisite chicken piccatta. Not our hired DJ being stoned off his gourd and playing rap during the meal.

I know this is a common misconception about the states, but I actually don't have to wear ballistic clothing unless I find myself in Los Angeles for some reason. I'm generally far more concerned with what the weather is doing.
I see kilts on the regular in the PNW. Not every day, but if I leave the house often enough usually a few a month. Plenty of stores specifically for those out here too.
