A Military Wedding

A military ceremony takes place according to the religion and traditions of the couple getting married. It is different from traditional civilian weddings in the following ways. - The groom (if in military) has to wear his full-dress uniform along with white gloves and sword. If the bride is in the military, she may choose to wear the uniform if she chooses to do so. The non-military attendants need to be in their formal attire. - Both the bride and groom need to pass under an arch of drawn swords. The arch formed by an honor guard represents a safe passage into marriage. - At the seated reception, all military guests are seated in order of rank. - The wedding cake is cut with a sword. - You can choose to decorate the hall in military style using traditional military colors.
