Decide if you want to get married in a military chapel, at a military academy or in your own civilian place of worship. Meet with the chaplain as soon as possible, if you do decide to get married in a chapel, to discuss the ceremony and arrange premarital counseling sessions. Ask for permission to have wedding flowers, music and photography inside the chapel. Rules vary from place to place.
Many couples decide to display the American flag during the ceremony, in addition to flowers.
Select a site for the reception. You might consider officers clubs on base or traditional restaurants or hotels in the area. Often, the bride will choose to leave her military information out. This is optional. Determine the types of uniforms the groom and members of the wedding party who are in the service will wear.
