Officiating a wedding...?

[Manu]

I note that you are intending to wear your miniature medals. I do also note with interest that your friend had asked you to wear them. May I ask purely out of interest as it does seem a little odd so to do, to many of us over here. Does the intended wedding have a military theme?

US vets are authorized by regulation to display medals in formal civilian attire during formal occasions of ceremony and military functions. While it is more common to see them at military balls, some vets opt to show some bling in other ceremonial events as well.
