Marine Uniform for wedding question?! - Weddings

HisCupcake · 10-17-2009, 10:40 AM

First off I just wanna say that my 'big' wedding is in THREE WEEKS!

ok now the question.. lol

My husband asked me if he should wear his ribbons or medals, i said I had no idea!?! i dont know if theres a difference on which one to wear to weddings, im sure theres not but im just curious of what you all think. Also I've seen marines wear both?? is that an option?

I have no idea if both is an option, but DH wore his ribbons

What do you mean by both? There are some ribbons that don't have a medal, is that what you mean?

I don't think it matters really. Personally I would go with ribbons since it's cheaper and easier than medals.

I'd say to have him wear his ribbons and everything

DF just has ribbons. It's easier and much lighter that way.

He can wear either.

medals go on the left side and ribbons go on the right side of their uniforms...DF best friend go married and he's a married and all the guys were in uniforms and the marine had all his ribbons and all his medals on it and it looked great b/c they go on opposite sides of their dress uniforms..
