Sword Arch For Weddings

[theBRAD006]

Does anyone have a source of information on sword arches at weddings? I'm not finding the information I'm looking for. If somebody has a book or website to recommend, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

P.S. I searched the forum and didn't find a previous thread. My apologies if there is already one.

This thread is a good start. There are a bunch of threads, but I don't know if you'll find your answer there. More likely, some of the OPs can give you some help. Try an advanced search for sword and wedding together in the search parameters.

I guess you can't ever get married then.

Here's a start: http://www.foreverwed1.com/articles/military/usnavy.html

I had a military wedding at the Naval Academy Chapel. They're the professionals. Give them a call. As I recall, they have a handbook on the protocol, including the whack on the butt by the last archer. I imagine the chaplains office at NASP and most major bases have protocol guides as well.

Enjoy.

I don't have permissions for that link either, and I'm logged on as an admin.

Curious. The thread is in the Private NA forum, so that explains Raptor. At any rate, it's one of the first threads that comes up when plugging those two terms into the advanced search.

The OIC of the detail at my wedding used these sites. Everything worked out great. Mine went without a hitch and they practiced it once, 10 minutes before the ceremony started!

I suggest a seacrch for "First Wife" "Divorce" and "Alimony"..

Might be a better resource than the arch protocol guide....

Always a great source for information on the "darker" side of marriage.
