Zola and Ethan were both in the Peace Corps in Senegal where they met and fell in love. They moved home to North Carolina, building a life together and got engaged. A life-threatening accident postponed their wedding, as Zola and Ethan focused on Ethan's recovery. They were officially married last October at the courthouse, but had their wedding one year to the day later than they had originally planned, with Ethan almost fully recovered. They now look forward to a beautiful future together.

If you choose to have a military wedding, your ceremony can take place at a military chapel or the academy from which the military member graduated. When figuring out the seating arrangements, remember that each service brand has different guidelines but, generally, the higher-ranking the officer, the better position at both the ceremony and reception.

Those who choose to wear their military uniform must adhere to the specific grooming rules according to their service brand.

Need vendors for your Military wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Many people know a military wedding simply by the attire—most often we see a groom in his dress blues (or whites in the summer)—but there are numerous traditions that come with the territory of hosting a military wedding. 

One of the most well known military wedding traditions is the Arch of Sabers (or Swords if referring to a Navy or Marine Corps member). If either partner, or both, are commissioned officers, they can have a ceremony exit beneath an archway of sabers held by other military members. Noncommissioned officers and enlisted personnel may instead go with the variation called the Arch of Rifles. Speaking of swords, another popular tradition is to cut the cake with a sword instead of a knife at the reception.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your military wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
