Military Uniform in Bridal Party

He should do whatever makes him comfortable, he earned that uniform. DH wore his uniform at our wedding and matched fine.

If he wants to wear his uniform, you would be beyond disrespectful and rude to tell him no. If he asks, just tell him that he's welcome to wear whatever he wants to wear.

I agree with Sarah. What ever makes him comfortable. I have done both and ultimately it should be up to him. Something things to consider though from personal experience; location and weather. Our service dress uniform jackets can be rather heavy and warm, and second when in uniform there are certain restrictions on behavior. Depending on how much of a party animal he is, this could be a consideration.

Whatever he feels comfortable in. I wouldn't worry about matching.

I believe if he is serving currently they are required to wear their dress blues because they are "representing the military" at least that was the rule 3 years ago with my brother at my sisters wedding

FH is an officer. He's not wearing his at our wedding. He was the best man in another officers wedding in April, didn't wear them then, and the groom did.

It's up to you and him to decide together.

If he wants to, he should. If he doesn't care, then just match with the groomsmen. I have an airman as a groomsman and he's matching the others.

If he wants to. FH is wearing his, but I don't believe any of his groomsmen are wearing theirs if they are in the military (some are military, some are not). I wouldn't mind if they did. He earned that uniform and if he wants to proudly wear it then he should

Whatever he wants to wear.

As a veteran, I don't believe it would be disrespectful to tell him he 'can't' wear it... but I feel that you should get together and discuss it. Believe it or not, there are lots of military that are more than happy to NOT wear their uniform all the time. There are also many people who wouldn't want to stand out by wearing their uniform.

Talk to him and find out what he wants to do, in such a fashion that (if your willing) you let him know that using his uniform is an option if he so chooses.

ETA @Ashley... if he chooses to wear A uniform, it has to be his dress uniform. What this means is that he can't show up in his ACUs. He has to show up in a uniform appropriate for the setting. It's not a requirement that he wears the uniform, just that IF he wears A uniform, he wears the appropriate one.

FH didn't want to wear his, but if he wants to wear his I think that's totally fine!

They aren't required to wear them if it's not a military or gov. sponsored event, even if they're active duty. It's not like they've got spies following all military personnel to every event they go to... but if he does wear it he must meet regulations and has to wear his hat when he's outside (part of the reason FH opted to skip it, though I'm hoping to incorporate it somehow in pictures)

ETA: after posting this I got on Pinterest and found a bride wearing her husbands dog tags and my exact dress! That made me happy

I won't get baited on this issue again, but- let him wear his uniform.

I think he can wear his uniform as it will look great and unique throughout the wedding. Recently I went to one of my friends wedding wearing a scrub uniform, as it was themed wedding and both groom and bride belongs to medical field. Isn't it extraordinary. You can likewise wear your military uniform.
