The
Arch of Swords |
|
The
Arch of Swords is a time-honored tradition in the US Military |
|
| Walking
through the arch of swords following the ceremony is done to ensure
the couple’s safe passage into their new life together |
|
| It
is also traditional to halt the couple prior to passing the last
pair of swords |
|
This
provides the newly-married couple an opportunity for a kiss ... |
|
...
and one soldier the opportunity for a solid wind-up |
|
|
"Welcome
to the US Army" (now you know why some new brides cry more
than others) |
