So we weren't sure if we'd have any military guests able to make it, besides FI's best man, so we weren't sure if we'd be doing the Arch of Swords.
FI and his best man, J, met at OCS - they were bunkmates as everyone was put alphabetically (their last names both start with Ma). Everytime someone washed out or quit, they shifted them up bunks, so FI either was top bunk or bottom bunk, always sharing with either the guy alphabetically in front of him (J's last name starts with Ma...) and the guy alphabetically behind him (S's last name starts with Mc...). So FI was quite close with J. Ma. and S. Mc. Well, J is his best man, but we haven't been able to see S since OCS since he lives on the other side of the country and already completed TBS and deployed and came back (J is at TBS now, FI is waiting for his AD orders).
We just found out that S will be coming to our wedding!!! We didn't think he'd be able to make it as he's stationed rather far away. He and his FI (both J and S are recently engaged) will be coming, and both J and S will be doing our Arch of Swords. How freaking awesome is that?! FI's bunkmates from OCS, 3 years later. I am SO excited about it, and I think FI is about to burst from happiness!
