You still long to marry \u2014 but there\u2019s so much to do, and so many unique circumstances that other couples don\u2019t face! From finding a chaplain to paying those amped-up fees involved in a rush wedding, your task list can seem even more daunting than the average bride\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>True, it\u2019s not like you\u2019re the only one to face this. Others, too, have lived the military life from day one, and were so proud to play a role that they enlisted as adults. If you\u2019re one of those who grew up in the military, shifting from base to base and city to city, you probably long for a military wedding that embodies all the traditions and pride you\u2019ve cherished all your life.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, as you know, there are plenty of rules and regulations when it comes to doing things military style \u2014 even for weddings. And staying within the guidelines can be overwhelming. As a bride, you need answers on how to do it \u2014 and those answers won\u2019t be found in the pages of all those bridal magazines or bridal books. But take heart!<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying: there are vast differences between a civilian and a military wedding. In the the latter case, the ceremony may take place at the base\/post chapel. Your officiant will be a military chaplain. The Arch of Sabers or Swords (depending on the branch of service) is used. And you\u2019ll need to pay special attention to the special formalities involved with invitations and seating arrangements<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45216\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/d98ace51378ea23acd70d02bec51c23f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/d98ace51378ea23acd70d02bec51c23f.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/d98ace51378ea23acd70d02bec51c23f-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/d98ace51378ea23acd70d02bec51c23f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/d98ace51378ea23acd70d02bec51c23f.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/d98ace51378ea23acd70d02bec51c23f-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/noscript> Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<section class=\"entry-content clearfix\">To help make your military wedding planning a little smoother, try these tips:<\/p>\n<h2>#1 \u2013 Buy Wedding Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Even if the couple chooses not to have the traditional Military Wedding, insurance (unless they are having a quick, simple civil ceremony at the courthouse) will save headaches and cover the loss of deposits or money due to changes or cancellations. When you marry into the military, never-ending shifts in deployment dates \u2014 quick deployments, delayed deployments, and extended deployments \u2014 are common. It\u2019s best to plan ahead and be safe.<\/p>\n<p>Take this example: The date\u2019s been set for a year out. You paid the deposits, and prepared the invitations (whew!). Then a set of orders shows up for the bride or groom that read, \u201cReport to your duty station 19 May 2012. \u201d Unfortunately, the wedding date was set for 25 May 2012! You now have to change <em>everything <\/em> \u2026 and even re-order those invitations.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you\u2019re working with extremely military-friendly vendors, there\u2019s a real risk of losing hefty deposits. Insurance is your best bet for safeguarding against this.<\/p>\n<h2>#2 \u2013 Learn the Lingo<\/h2>\n<p>For a new bride who\u2019s marrying into the service, there\u2019s a whole new lingo to learn. For starters, you\u2019ll need to get acquainted with the formalities of the Arch \u2026 but do the groomsmen raise Swords, or is it Sabers?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s your answer: Sabers are used for Air Force and Army. Swords are used for Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy. The National Guard and Reserve go by the same etiquette and regulations of their service branch (i.e. Army National Guard, Air National Guard, Naval Reserve, etc). Also, although most military personnel won\u2019t own a Sword or Saber, they can contact the Chaplain \u2014 who\u2019ll normally have these on hand for your use, or if not, the Commander will.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other terms you\u2019ll want to become familiar with and knowledgeable about, but don\u2019t worry \u2026 as time goes on, the language will become second nature.<\/p>\n<h2>#3 \u2013 \u201cCan We Skip the Bride\u2019s Ceremonial \u2018Swat\u2019 With the Sword?\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>For tradition\u2019s sake, you\u2019re better off leaving it in. After all \u2026 wasn\u2019t it the tradition that drew you to the idea of a full military wedding in the first place? It\u2019s best to only omit this step if the bride\u2019s the service member.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not familiar with \u201cthe Swat,\u201d here\u2019s how it works: When the groomsmen assemble after the vows, the bride and groom then pass through the Arch of Saber or Swords (this symbolizes the military\u2019s welcome, and the couple\u2019s safe transition into their new life together). The couple pauses as the last two men lower their sabers or swords in front of the bride and groom. Then, the man to the right will then lightly \u201cswat\u201d the bride on the rear and say \u201cWelcome to the Army\u201d (or name the appropriate branch of service).<\/p>\n<h2>#4 \u2013 Know the Seating Etiquette<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know the proper seating arrangements for guests \u2014 not to mention, where the bride and groom should stand, including who stands on which side. The standing arrangement is determined by whether the service member is an officer, or enlisted.<\/p>\n<p>A guest list will have Commanders, other Officers within the unit, and peers. It\u2019s important to know the proper seating for all your guests \u2026 and also for the receiving line. Everyone associated with a service member (i.e. their Commanders, Officers and peers within the unit or office) should be invited to the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>When seating the groom or bride\u2019s Commander and spouse, seat them with the family of the bride or groom, whichever group they represent. Commanders are usually seated in the front row when the bride or groom\u2019s parents can\u2019t attend. Seat all other higher-ranking Officers directly behind the family of either the bride or groom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also <a class=\"broken_link\" href=\"https:\/\/favorideas.com\/shopping\/patriotic-wedding-favors.html\">Shop for Military &amp; Patriotic Wedding Favors <\/a>|\u00a0<a title=\"Military Wedding Favors\" href=\"https:\/\/favorideas.com\/wedding-themes\/occupational-themes\/military-wedding-favors\/\">Military Wedding Favor Ideas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">GiGi Rena Rogers is an Army Wife of 11 \u00bd years and CEO of CT Publishing.<\/div>\n<div class=\"at-below-post addthis_tool\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.favorideas.com\/wedding-themes\/occupational-themes\/the-perfect-military-wedding\/\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By GiGi Rena Rogers The day\u2019s finally arrived.
