Grooms Wearing their Uniform?

Jane, on October 9, 2019 at 12:03 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4

My FH is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. He is going to wear his mess dress uniform for our wedding. Anyone else's FH military and wearing their mess or their blues? I'd also love to see pics of anyone's wedding that has already happened where that was the case!

    My husband didn't, and his two friends from the military didn't, but we did give them both the option to. Both were confident they wouldn't be able to fit into their dress blues hahahaha so they opted for regular suit rentals. I think it looks really nice though!

    So I'll be honest, FH can't get into his originals either! He owns a tux and was just going to wear that (even though I wanted him to wear either his mess or blues). They are so expensive and he just did not want to spend the money when he has a perfectly good tux. Over the weekend I went dress shopping, and he knows how expensive that is. By the time I got home, he ordered a new mess uniform in his size to surprise me. Smiley heart

    So this was my sisters wedding (I blacked out their faces because not my photo lol so just ignore that). I know a few of them were army, and a few were from a different branch and then a few just wore tuxes because they’re not military. I loved the way it looked in photos and it was nice because we took a moment to thank them and other vets who were in attendance during the reception.
