Military marriages are characterized by their traditions, for example, the moments where the groom's military companions are part of the celebration, creating attractive moments completely different from conventional marriages. In this type of marriage, the groom is always dressed in the uniform corresponding to his rank, and he will wear it as never before on the day of his marriage,with his beautiful bride dressed in white and his barracks mates, also uniformed for the occasion in their regulation dresses.

But costumes and traditions are not everything. In military marriages there is a strict protocol that the bride and groom must take into account if what they want is a perfect and impeccable military celebration. Although the couple should always ask the officers before the possible appearance of new guidelines, such as the priest who will officiate the ceremony, the truth is that from the beginning of the ceremony, the couple should always ask the military officers if they want a perfect and impeccable celebration.At the beginning there are certain protocols that differentiate a military wedding from the more conventional ones, turning it into an act full of romanticism and emotions. Very typical of these marriages is the arch of sabers, corresponding to the Army and the Air Force, or the arch of swords, corresponding to the Navy.

As a unique way to praise the bride and groom on the most important day of their lives, the arch of sabers or swords involves the raising of these weapons by the groom's companions, creating a solemn arch at the exit of the Church, through which the newlyweds will pass after saying yes. Depending on the branch of the service, Air Force, Army or Navy, the protocol will change slightly, thoughThe cutting of the cake is another great moment in military ceremonies, because if there is already a long-standing tradition in which the couple must cut the first piece of their cake with a sword, in a military marriage this popular tradition crosses borders, since the cutting is carried out with the sword or saber of the newlywed,personalizing and making it a unique and memorable moment.

Undoubtedly, a military marriage is a symbolic, intimate and deeply meaningful ceremony, especially for the groom, who sees his big day as a unique opportunity to bring together the military and civilian parts of his life, both of which are very important to him.
