Arch Of Swords (Sabers) Ceremony

Arch Of Swords (Sabers) Ceremony at a wedding are a great addition to a wedding ceremony. (We actually have a client doing this next May). Men who are serving in the military will traditionally wear their uniforms on the wedding day. All are formal, with military personnel in dress uniform and commanding officers seated according to rank. The bride and groom walk through an arch when they process. No one out of uniform may hold a saber during the ceremony. Upon command, the sabers are drawn by the right hand, the bride and groom walk under the sabers, kiss, exit the sabers and then salute. There are slight variations in the ceremonies between the Navy, Army and Air Force, but your commanding officer can fill you in on any details that you may not be sure about.




I hope you had a great holiday, remember our troops!
