whatever you and your husband are most comfortable with. If you would prefer your husband to wear his uniform and so would he, then go for it. The wedding is your special day, make it memorable for all the good reasons. Just because its' conventional to wear the black groom outfit it doesn't mean you have to.
Best of luck to you.

I had mine where his basic Class A's. I hate the Dress Greens, (damn peguin suits) blues were too expensive and we had a small outdoor wedding so A's were fine. For the reception he wore Class B's. I was being cheap and didn't want him to have to rent a tux when he always has his A's ready to go. He really didn't want to and did it just to make me happy. It depends on what he wants and what you want. I was marrying 82nd AB Army which is such an ellite unit that deploys sooooo much that I knew that this was gonna be my life. I wasn't marrying a man, I was marrying a paratrooper, a soldier, a hero so it was important to me for him to be in uniform. If he's really completely against it he has his reasons and don't make him but if he's left it up to u, then it's really your decision. If you'd like to see some pics of mine and want any advice. www.myspace.com/airbornebaby has my wedding pics in there. Oh if he's an e5 or above u should consider the formal class A's (dress greens) or blues. If he's an e-4 or below typical class A's are fine, and the suit tux thing is really up to you. Nothing says he HAS to wear the uniform, it's all ur choice. Good luck and welcome to an elite group.

PS: on a side note, if he wears his A's on ur wedding day and up to the honeymoon suite there will never be a typical pay day go by when he doesn't come home from work and u don't want to jump him. OH MY GOSH! Every time i see mine in A's now it makes my heart flutter like on my wedding day and i melt and boy is he rewarded for it. lol Maybe you should tell him that too, that would make him want to wear the A's.

I would say that if he wants to wear his dress uniform, then by all means have him do so. Personally, I love to see the military men in their dress uniforms, they always look sooo sharp!!! But if he would rather wear a simple tuxedo, then have him wear that as well. I would honestly let him decide which he would be more comfortable with, and then go with that.

Personally, I think he'd look great in his Class A's (dress uniform) if he is still on active duty. It's a privilege to wear the uniform of our country, so it's even more special than a tux!
It's something only he can decide!

It is really up to your values!! If you are very proud of serving the U.S. and feel that it is a big part of your lives, then I would encourage him to wear his uniform.
My boyfriend is in the Marines and we are waiting til he has finished his service (two more years) to get married. I am proud of him, but I don't want the military to be a part of my wedding--that is just my personal preference. Do what feels right to you, that is the key. Congrats!

The choice is yours and his to make about his attire for your wedding. It is totally appropriate for him to wear his Dress uniform. He would look handsome and proud I'm sure. If he wants to wear a tuxedo, that would be nice also. I will say that if he intends to drink and totally party at the reception, he should keep his actions controlled if he is in uniform. Congratulations, and God bless.

Well he should wear his uniform to show th epeople around them that he is proud to be in teh military. But to wear simple black instead of his uniforms shows that he isn't too keen in been in the mkilitary. and also show's like he doesn't respect his uniform and don't want anyone to know he's in teh military. I SAY YEA SHOW YOUR PRIDE IN AMERICA.

Ask him what he wants to do. I think a groom in dress blues is hot hot hot! It reminds you you are not only marrying each other, but joining what is most important in your lives.
One of my relatives did not wear HER dress blues, because, like most girls, dreamed of a long white dress. She did leave the reception in her dress uniform and she was beautiful!
Blessings on your upcoming marraige and my prayers for your fiance's safety.

My fiance is in the Navy and he will be wearing his uniform on our wedding day. I am so proud of him and even though he told me he would wear a tux if I would rather, i told him i want him in the uniform. it is a part of who he is and he looks so handsome in it.

Let him wear his military uniform to your wedding. It's a real honor for him to be in his uniform. Or he can wear both a tuxedo and his uniform.
