Big day in just over 2 months...how long have you got?

Hi Kirsty,

Our best man and usher in morning suits too as are non military. We are getting married in London and then it looks like h2b maybe posted to Chilwell in June!

What about you?

Hiya Tasha,
We live in gloucester, as do our families, so going to be a local wedding. H2B currently at South Cerney, near cirencester but under threat of a posting at the moment. Just waiting to hear really, knowing our luck will end up with Germany.

What colour are you going with for the morning suits?

We are going for black for the morning suits with sage waistcoats and cravats. I did think of navy because of the colour of the No 1's but i thought if the navy didn't match exactly it might have looked odd, so hence went for completely different.

Hehe i think Germany would probably be my worst nightmare but i quess it will come to us all at some point. My h2b is a royal engineer x

we had the topper with him in his no. 1s and me in my dress. We also used the names of tanks as our table names as my husband fixes them in the REME. We also made a point of wearing no jewelry (except our rings) and just wore help for heroes wristbands. which also doubled as my something blue lol.
Heres my topper ....

Hi Babybutterfly,

Your topper is gorgeous, i hope when mine comes it is as good, it is being made as we speak.

my h2b is in the raf so best man, ushers and my brothers are wearing navy blue as are bridesmaids.

were having him in his number 1s for ceremony and the guys on his squadron are going to do a guard of honour (number one uniform) but without the swords as they arent officers. I think it will still look good with them stood to attention either side of the entrance.

also anyone in military is invited to wear number one uniform. h2b and one of his ushers are changing into number 5s in the evening if allowed.

also - just added this one. were going to do the pass the port tradition as they do at dining in nights...will be quite fun i think

My H2b will be in his army no1s - the best man and all guests that are in the army are all in no2s our favours are a selection of things from H4Hs (key rings, badges, magnets etc) the bridesmaids are in navy to match h2b and h2bs collegues are going to do guard of honour, (without swords though)

love the pass the port idea mrs begg2b!!

i loved it too but we arent having it now as its too expensive and our wedding is quote big! h2b said is it worth paying £200 for port when were already paying £15per head for drinks package?

i had a little strop but guess hes right

Mrsbegg2b,

Sounds lovely having your h2b's work mates standing to attention. You may have just given me the idea! )

When are you getting married?

ours is 24th July - i saw it on somebody's pictures in this forum and went with it! I really wanted the guard of honour but when my h2b asked about the swords he was told its kinda not right for sgt to wear them as its not part of their uniform unless they are officer or higher (RAF rule anyway) so i thought this is the next best thing.

My friends dad is a wing commander in the RAF and he said apparently the tradition is that they take their right shoe off and make an arch!! hahaha

I said no i dont want to walk through a smelly arch imagine my face on the pics haha
