My wedding is up there, and both of us are military. I just didn't want to wear my uniform for the wedding!

I totally get it,my FH is a Coastie (ahem, I'm sorry, "Guardian" as we're supposed to say now*rolls eyes*). His roommate/one of my best friends is a 6'1" female Lieutinant. She's intimidating to say the least. She's marrying a civilian guy, but having the hardest time! Everyone assumes the GROOM is the one in the service, not the BRIDE.

Because society is sexist like that.

Thank you! My fiance and I are both in the marine corps and I'm trying to plan a wedding without any leave to work around.
It's nice to find inspiration for something beautiful (I'm so tired of my coworkers' dress-blues-boring weddings). I love my job, and I'm not marrying it, but it's hard to ignore that it changes some aspects of a wedding, and I'm glad to relate a little to the girls on here.
One of my biggest regrets with this is not being able to find enough time to craft it all up, but thank god for etsy.

I love it! I'm one of the brides planning a wedding sans my man. He is stationed in Virginia while I'm planning a wedding in Montana. I'm down to 25 days before I say I do and cannot wait to marry him. Its not easy but finding some quirky other weddings really put me at ease. check out my blog to see the fun going on.

I'm going into the Coast Guard (yes, CG is military) this summer with a wedding set for Halloween. What the heck is up with military weddings meaning brides marrying military guys? I can't find any inspiration for civilian guys marrying a military bride!

Yay for military brides! I'm going to be one in a year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing my Marine in his dress blues at the end of the aisle! (there really is something about a man in uniform, no??)
