Dress Uniforms?

in Military Brides
I come from a huge military family. I have two uncles that are currently enlisted in the Air Force, both of my grandfathers retired from the Army, one cousin-in-law that's enlisted in the Marines, my mom is in the Navy, and my husband(we're doing a renewal) is also in the Air Force. And we're also having a bunch of friends fly in(who are also in the military).
I want my husband to be in his dress blues for at least the ceremony, then he's changing into a suit, or a tux, haven't made up my mind.
But if we're having the other service members wear their dress uniforms, will it look bad? I do want my husband to stand out as the groom, after all.
I've already been asked by a few people if I would be ok with them wearing their dress uniforms.

    Everyone is going to know who the husband/groom is. No doubt. I think your FI should wear whatev he wants to wear, it's his day too and I doubt he picked your dress out.

    Is he going to be wearing mess dress? My fiancé is going to be wearing his mess dress but will be wearing a party shirt underneath so he can be more comfortable and relaxed for the reception.

    Grooms wear the uniform of the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard. A groom from the US Marines wears white gloves and carries a saber. If he is from the Navy or Coast guard, he wears a sword.Most brides in military services choose traditional wedding gowns.A female officer may wear a traditional bridal gown, or she may be married in uniform.

    Um... okay.

    That's one uniform they can wear.  That would be the dress blues, in the Marines, or the mess dress in some of the other branches.  It depends on the formality of the event.  If it's a semi-formal event, the service alphas might be more appropriate, or the dress bravos. 

    But this isn't even remotely what the original poster was asking.

    I was thinking the same thing. My FI was thinking about wearing a uniform...but not with the sword... I guess he can't do that <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif" border="0" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" />
