We went to a wedding on post today.

 

The whole company was invited. 

 It was just perfect, and it made me wish we had picked an earlier date for the wedding.

 

After the ceremony the chaplain released the couple and they walked through the cordon of rifles that was provided by guys in the company.

 

All the guys thought it was cool to participate in that marriage ceremony.

They stood all in cordon right down the main aisle at the entrance to the reception. The couple really seemed happy when they moved into the reception and were met with the cordon of rifles arched in salutation.

Both the bride and groom are in the military, so they didn’t do that little swat thing with the sword after the couple goes through the golden military archway.

Here is one thing I thought was cool and I am going to file this idea away:  They had made special wedding challenge coins and passed them out to everyone.  Commemorative coins are a military tradition, and I have seen the city make one on their 100th anniversary.  But for a wedding, how cool an idea is that.  Definitely have to look into that little gem of an idea.
