Beebee Bride on TK-- Dad wearing military uniform.
She thinks it might look weird in photos and distract people? Her father is a decorated military veteran and wants to wear the uniform for the wedding.
I personally say it would look great to have my dad in a military uniform that he is proud of wearing on a special day to honor his daughter. This girl is worried about how it will look in photos?!
What do you think?
Re: Beebee Bride on TK-- Dad wearing military uniform.
initially, I thought her intention might ahve been lost. but then I read the bit about "isn't it all for the photos?".
WTF?!?!

That was the best part.
It seems this is more about her issues with her father than what he wants to wear.
Is she kidding? Gah....
There is nothing informal about his formal military outfit. I think she should just let it go. I also can't seem to get over her "will it look weird in pictures?" How many pictures are you really planning on having him in?
I only see people outside of the WP in a select few of hundreds from your wedding. I love how she spun it to him just trying to one-up her.
At my wedding, STBXH's friend wore his dress uniform and even in a medieval themed wedding, he did not stand out.
I think it is great when a military man/woman or veteran wear their uniform
I didn't realize the only reason people get married is for the pictures.
Man, is my H going to be pissed when I tell him why I really married him.

I eloped and am therefore banned from The Knot for life. Anyone who would udder the words "I rather have a down payment for a house than a wedding" is not welcome on that side of the world.

I didn't realize that eloping was taboo over there? Maybe because it flies in the face of all the Pretty-Pretty-Princess Day type stuff they have going on?
I haven't even ordered wedding photos yet. Crap. Our marriage is clearly a sham.
Ok, I'm a Knot poster who lurks over here sometimes, and I don't think eloping is taboo at all, at least on the boards I post on. If anything, half of the posts are "regs" smacking down idiots like the bride in the post linked here.
It seems like there is more to the story, but I still think she needs to get over the matchy-matchy ideas she has and be cool with her dad wearing his uniform.
My father got his own tux (because he wanted to). His boutonniere was different from everyone else's, on purpose. Florists tried to tell me it would look weird, but I wanted him to have something that represented him and our relationship. Anyone who would think negatively or judge that lack of matching is not someone I want around.
