During a Military wedding, can I(the grom) have my cover on? It'll be indoor but in a public area. Or is there a time when I should wear it or take it off. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The correct way would be to do the wedding with your cover off. If, however, if you really want to leave it on, you can, but you will need to have all of your other military guests leave them on also. Typically, you would always have your cover off when indoors, but when you got outdoors you would put it on, such as when you walk down the aisle (if there is one) and back out with your new bride.
Congratulations and I wish you much luck on your marriage!

You could be by regulation wear your cover if your armed. A saber with belt looks very sharp and is traditional too. Other than that it's your wedding and the highest ranking attendee probley your comander if he's going could advise you either way. At my brothers military wedding recentley he pretty much called the shots even though things weren't 100% by the book. For example I'm enlisted but was the leader of the arch of swords for the wedding of an officer which wasn't technically by the book but nobody gives a darn they're just enjoying the wedding. That will deffintley be the last and only time I tell 6 lieutenants and 2 captains what to do.

Military regulations require you to remove your cover indoors unless acting as a guard in an official capacity (e.g. U.S. Marines standing guard indoors).
In military clubs 'back in the day' was a sign that read: HE WHO ENTERS COVERED HERE, BUYS THE BAR A ROUND OF CHEER

If you're indoors in a public place, you're still supposed to take your cover off.
Hubby (military) and I married in a JP ceremony - in a courthouse and he didn't wear his cover inside.

You can only be covered indoors while under arms or while serving as a pallbearer for a military funeral.

You are supposed to remove your cover inside. However when we got married my husband and his groomsmen did not wear their bow ties like they should have at a formal event. We all figured it was my wedding and no one there would complian. I guess go with what you want we did.

You really need to address this question to your military Chaplin, for the approved and excepted polices

I don't think anyone will try to cite 670-1 at your wedding, just go with what you want to do.
If anyone does ask then tell them you are under arms with a concealed weapon.
