Q.
What should I wear if I'm on active duty to my wedding?
A.
Grooms wear the
uniform of the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard. A groom from
the US Marines wears white gloves and carries a saber.
If he is from the Navy or Coast guard, he wears a sword. Military
men are adorned with military decorations, rather than
boutonnieres. If all of his ushers were in the service, he would
probably choose to wear a uniform. If some of his attendants were
civilians, the choice would be more difficult because the wedding
party would not all be dressed similarly. In this instance the
groom usually conforms to what civilians are wearing since it
cannot be the other way around.
If the bride is in the armed forces, she has the choice of
marrying in a full uniform or a traditional wedding gown. Most
brides in military services choose traditional wedding gowns. If
she does wear a military uniform, she still holds a bridal bouquet
in her hands as she walks down the aisle. The bride stands to the
right side of the military groom during the wedding because the
sword is worn on the left side.
