(NSFW -- this one almost accidentally went to print!) This groom's dangler, along with his all his groomsmens', ended up unexpectedly gracing and ruining more than a dozen of the photographs I shot in which he posed with his grandmother, new mother-in-law, the bride, etc. The guys knelt down for every shot with kids and groups, so unexpected nutsacks made it into hundreds of pictures that night. I can't imagine the surprises the family and guests had when they offloaded all the images from their cameras once they got home.
Please, leave kilts for the RenFair where they belong. |
You can take "tradition" too far and overdo it. Paddy's Day is one example. This is another. These days, underwear would be worn by most, if for no other reason than it's bloody windy in Scotland and there are public indecency laws. And the wind is cold. Also this whole kneeling down pose doesn't work with the kilts. Have you ever seen a scotsman in a kilt on one knee? Guess why not. If they knew thay were going to do that, they'd put on some freaking boxers.
