eddings combine
tradition, celebration and
love in a way that no other
event can. From exchanging vows
and cutting the cake to throwing the
bouquet and wearing something
blue, weddings feature rituals that
add meaning and fun to an already
special day.
Military weddings take the
tradition to another level, with added
customs and guidelines that are only
suitable for a couple in which at least
one of the partners is in the military.
The experts at WeddinginWeeks.com
are pros at planning military
weddings. Here are some things
you'll need to know:
>>
One of the first differences
you'll note at a military wedding is
the attire, as it is appropriate for
service men and women to
wear military uniforms as
both a member of the
bridal party and a member
of the audience. You'll also
see that military personnel
may have medals and ribbons
on their uniforms, and they may be
wearing white gloves, depending on
the branch they served in.
>>
Seating arrangements can also
be different at a military wedding, as
rank is often taken into consideration,
in addition to the relationship to the
soon-to-be-wed couple.
>>
Lastly, rituals such as the Arch
of Swords, in which the newly
married couple walks under an arch
of swords held by military personnel
as they exit the ceremony, are
featured prominently.
Perhaps the most notable
difference between a military and a
non-military wedding is the timing.
Military weddings often tend to be
trickier to time properly, as
deployments could come at
any moment.
This is one reason that
the WeddinginWeeks.com
program is valuable to those
planning a military wedding.
"Couples do not have to sacrifice
an incredible venue for the sake of
timing or budget," said Holly
Redheffer, National Sales and
Marketing Project Manager at
American Golf. "They can take
advantage of unused inventory at
reduced minimums, giving them
the experience most couples have
received that took many months
or years to plan."
