Wearing Military uniform to Wedding?
First of all, if you are reading this you probably are part of the Military or, at least, know of someone who is in the Military so Thank You. Your service allows me to do what I enjoy and I truly appreciate it.
I have been asked by brides and grooms if wearing Military uniforms to Weddings is appropriate. I believe that it is not only appropriate but it honors the individual and lets people acknowledge our freedoms that we take for granted so often. Whether you are the bride or groom, in the Wedding party, or just a guest of the Wedding, I believe that you should wear your Military uniform. I have had lots of people who wear their uniform and a lot who don’t too. It is a matter of personal preference. As a bride and groom, I would hope that you would allow this at your Wedding.
What are the advantages to wearing your Military uniform?
-It saves you the cost of a tuxedo, suit, or dress. -It puts things into perspective for the guests; with celebration there is sacrifice. -Strikes a conversation with people.What are some disadvantages of wearing your Military uniform?
-It takes attention away from the bride and groom. -It may not be dressy enough for the occasion. -You may not want people to know that you are serving.These are just a few of the advantages and disadvantages of wearing your Military uniform to Weddings.
Don’t be afraid to wear your Military uniform to Weddings if you have an outfit that will fit the occasion. Be proud of who you are and know that everyone there will love to chat and thank you for your service.
