Should MOH's husband not in bridal party wear his dress blues?
My husband is active duty Air Force. My sister is getting married at Cape Cod in August on a Friday afternoon (close to evening). I am the Matron of Honor, however, my husband is just walking my mother down the aisle to her seat. He is not escorting anyone else nor is he part of the wedding party. Should he be allowed to wear his dress blues to the wedding?

Dear Afwife,
"Allowed" can be such a negative word. It isn't as much about being allowed, but rather, "Is it appropriate attire for a guest?" Unless the wedding is black tie, he would be over dressed. It could appear as if he is a member of the wedding party, which could appear as presumptuous on his part. Having said that, usually only a member of the wedding party would be walking the mother of bride down the aisle. So, ask your sister what she wants and honor her wishes.
