Lots of grooms look great in kilts, but there’s just something about Miroslava’s groom Kevin that’s extra hot.

Is it the jacket? Is it the boots? Is it the hair? Or wait, is that kilt leather?! Regardless, Kevin’s taking “sexy kilt” to a whole new level.

PS: I find that these photos are best enjoyed while listening to Kevin’s music.

So we chose Jon’s parents home as a location that would not limit our needs.
