Uniforms...

in Military Brides
My FI is Army along with two of his GM. The FI has decided he doesn't want to wear the "pickle suit" for the wedding and just wants a tux.

My brother is a marine and will be getting back from deployment just in time to walk me down the aisle. He will have several metals, his blood strip, and a sword; he really wants to show that off.

Do you think it will look weird for my brother to wear his uniform while my FI and everyone else are in tuxes? My FI says he could care less and I just want my brother to be comfortable.  My brother's wife says it will look stupid so now I want other opinions.

    Oooh...personally I would think it looks little weird too.

    Like if your bro was walking you down the aisle...OK. But then again, he earned it so he if he wants to wear it AND is OK with your FI, it's fine.

    No - He doesn't really care to have a military wedding. He has been in for awhile and it's just something he does.

    If you can come between a Marine and his Dress Blues, You go for it, but it's a battle most often lost by those without an Eagle, Globe & Anchor!

    I say go for it! Your brother earned it, and he wants to wear it so why not? I think it will look awesome. Besides as long as you, your FI and your brother are comfortable with it, who cares? It's your wedding!, you can do whatever you guys want!

    Your brother maybe proud of his medals and wants to show them off, but its your day and you should show off, not your brother. I'm not trying to be mean i just feel that he should respect that it is your day and let you shine.

    I think that if your FH had a problem with it, I would understand where he is coming from.  A uniform always catches people's attention, and it's a day where he will want the focus on you and him, not you and your brother.  But, since he doesn't seem to mind, then I think it would be fine.
