Sword Bearers is a unique way a Military officer can claim during his/her wedding ceremony. It is a privilege for the Navy, Army or the Air force Officers to practice this honorable protocol. As a military officer, we can choose how to celebrate our wedding ceremony, either the traditional way, or with full military honors. This protocol/ceremony way of honoring the bride and groom by the arch of the swords. Usually we’ll invite our friends from the service to do the honor as our sword bearer members..It would be more meaningful.
Depending on the services, different protocol is observed, but the concept of the arch is the same. There will a line up of the sword bearer members and the bride and groom will walk between them with the tips meeting crossed from the arch. Other than that, cutting the wedding cake with the sword is another interesting custom. The groom will use his sword to slice the cake together with the bride.
It’s an event full with ceremony that I love to do. To be a sword bearer member to my friend’s wedding, is a way to show my appreciation to our friendship that I cherish. But my dad told me once, “if you do I more than 5 times, you will never get married”…haha..no wonder…~Salute~
