    Me and my husband enjoyed our wedding at peckforton castle. I wore a deep champagne version of  Meghan Markles gown with a 10 feet train and a 18 feet veil in champagne silk tulle edged with lace flowers. 
    My shoes were champagne silk ballet flats.
    My husband served in the marines and wore his uniform.

    Thanks. I'm sure many have been worrying/wondering what you wore over 7 months ago.
    :D

    I have been on tenterhooks since the annoucement of the wedding.  Its the only thing that keeps me coming back to MSE everyday ;)

    We don't have 'marines' in the UK. We have Royal Marines, a branch of the Royal Navy. In all services, it's regarded as not done to wear uniform when no longer serving, (unless an honorary officer like members of the Royal Family) lest one be thought a Billy Big Timer (or worse, a Walt).

    If it makes a difference, the OP has said in previous threads that her now husband is American from Ohio.

    So your experience of UK Royal Marines may not be relevant.
