G*d himself couldnt come down, order me to marry.
@NGsleepy147 u get your dress blues when you are inducted into the marine core.... no you have to buy it im petty sure my dads been in for 21 years now
@sumxkindaxhate I saw that too. I know sometimes you run out of people or you have a Marine you just really want to include... BUT A LCPL DON'T RATE A SWORD!!!
@sumxkindaxhate LOL. I was thinking the same thing...I was at a wedding where we did one of these, and at the time I was a LCpl so, of course, I wasn't allowed to be in the detail using an NCO sword...
@elnegry2008 i dont know if some1 answered ur question yet but their are two classes of dress blues A and B. dress blue A consists of what u see in the vid. B is the same but without the white gloves and ribbons and rifle badges ares placed instead of medals. not to answer ur question by USMC order dress blue A is only worn during military ceremonies and events while B is for everything else. but in events like this marines usually can get away with it sometimes by permission.
It's crazy how sensitive people are. You didn't say anything wrong about our military you just expressed an opinion. People need to RELAX! LOL. I personally love the dress blues and think their "apparel" is the most elegant across the branches. = )
I was AF honor guard back in '06 and when it came to the final swords being brought down the guy closest to the bridge would slap her rear and he says "Welcome to the (insert military branch here)" It's a tradition for all military weddings with a sword cordon.
The guy closest to the bride says "welcome to the (insert military branch here)" It's a long-standing tradition with military weddings that have sword cordons.
Are you sure you have the most up to date order? I pulled mine up from the marines.mil website. Under news, Marine Corp electronic publications. Do a search for that order. Either that or get your eyes checked. I copied and pasted what I put in my last comment. Besides, all officers would rate the arch, commissioned or otherwise.
@wanglimp1 "The arch of swords for weddings is authorized for commissioned, warrant, staff noncommissioned, and noncommissioned officers." Excerpt from the drill manual, first paragraph under "5016. FORMING AN ARCH OF SWORDS FOR WEDDINGS." Last I checked, a Corporal is a noncommissioned officer or NCO. He does rate the arch. @Azishome, wanglimp is right about Marines criticizing one another. It's the nature of the beast. The Marine Corps beast.
@wanglimp1 All officers (including noncoms) rate a sword arch. This is something covered during any ceremony/drill period of instruction. Such as staff academy.
Well, see, Stryker, some people don't see the entire world as being run by the Marine manuals. Some people are just friends and want to make their friends happy. By the, Stryker, you may not understand that. And by the way, I'm not a veteran Marine. My son is, though. He thinks people like you are asses. .
@Azishome You are either a woman, or your son is in this video. Either way rationalizing with you will probably be a waste of time, and if your son thinks I am an ass then too bad. Marines criticize other Marines all the time, and most of the time it is WAY more harsh that what I said. If a you are a Marine and you post a video like this, with a wedding detail that is all gooned up, you should expect that other Marines look at youtube and will see and criticize. Thats all I'm Gonna say.
hey marines semper fi delis i would had busted my ass laughing but knowing it was all for purpose ha ha ha.. keep motivated and stay safe even if you get deployed away from home. OOOOOOHHHHH RRRAHHHHHH
@sweetreview lol, with da help of people u call friends bro. pretty sure da groom and his marine friends of course just got together and coordinated this after work
This obviously wasn't a detailed and thought out thing guys...It was probably a bunch of his buds being good friends. If you noticed, one of them smacked the groom's ass with the sword.
@jheckman22 well, in todays new corps, yep new corps. as long as u call "for instructional purposes only" anything and pretty much everything can happen
Whoever taught the drill needs to look into the 5060. Why is the command "Cover" given when there is no second or third squad? On the preparatory command "Parade", all swords are "Pushed" to approximately 3 inches off the deck then eased down after the command of execution "Rest". If you're wearing the uniform and performing drill movements then do it the right way.
@smokeyhat: I couldn't agree more. I remember spending hours upon hours looking through the MCO P5060.20 making sure I drilled the arch I was responsible for the RIGHT way.
A nugget of knowledge for your buttpack from paragraph 5016 "1. The arch or swords for wedding is authorized for commissioned, warrant and staff noncommissioned officers only."

~No offense to any Marine or American but I think this uniform is just hideous... why this awful colour trouser? Its time for a uniform redesign. something a bit more 21st century.
the red stripe on their pants is called the "Blood Stripe". these are the best of your military. they're the ones on the front line and the first called to duty.
you need to have a little respect for them and all that they do. don't diss on a uniform you know nothing about.
@xxohboiee dude...i'm nt Am so I dn't need to be respectful of the uniform or the fact that they fight 4 *your country. I merely commented dt *I thought d uniform was ugly... they cud redesign it with more harmonious colours and still hv d blood stripe on d side, or not. I'm sure you dont give 2 about my country's military & dt's ok...if you thot their uniform was ugly, it'd b ok too. FULL STOP. chill with d respect crap their uniform has nothin to do with their ability to do their jobs well. x
@zillaxy At least respect the fact that they do a job that most want nothing to do with. The uniform also has a lot more to do with Marine Corps history than you think.
A lot to do with their history, yes. In fact, it was designed in the 19th century and has been worn in essentially the same form. And it shows.
Why are some Americans so twitchy the second you criticize anything that is related to the military? My dad was in for over 30yrs and now, my brother for over 20. So yes, I do have a very healthy respect for those who serve. Saying a uniform looks odd offends you? Sorry.
@zillaxy It doesn't offend me, just how you wrote your last post about how you don't need to respect the fact that they fight for their country is really what got me. I'm greatful that you brother and father both served in the military. I think it was more of a mis-interpretation of that last post lol
@zillaxy How dare you mock the uniform in which is one of the prodest amongst the United States Military. Even the smallest disrespect shows your ignorance. You need to think of what that person has sacrificed to keep this country alive, as well as what they have seen and done. Next time you wanna mock a uniform of the United States Military, think about this. They are the ones saving your sorry ass from a demise you can't even comprehend.
@zillaxy uhh no. Its time to continue doing what they been doing for the past 235 years. KICKING ASS! They have more important things to worry about then what people think of their uniform which by the way probably cost more then your house car and entire wardrobe combined. The Dress Blues are the utmost Sharp and distinguished uniform of any US Military Force.
@zillaxy You are allowed to have your opinion because OUR military fights for you to have that right. But my opinion is that yours is STUUUUUUUUPID! Just sayin'
@zillaxy fuckin douchebag, its a dress uniform that represents tradition and history. not what u wear cause its a different day of the week. u must be a fashion fag, sorry dadt
@zillaxy are you one of those fashionable metro or gay people caring about what the uniform looks like? Marine Dress Blues are the best looking uniform in the military world.
@zillaxy Fact: the USMC dress blues are the only dress uniform of any service that are Red, White, and Blue. true patriots and all Americans. The red stripe on the trousers, also known as the blood stripe, honors the fallen Marines from the Battle of Chapultepec during the Mexican War, where an extremely high percent of Marine Officers and NCO's where killed. changing the uniform would not only dishonor all of those Marines, but the Corps itself.
hahah... i've always wondered too... it seems everyone in the military (well i know the navymen in my country anyway) has a just for the 'crossing of the swords' ceremony during weddings.
@ihatekate08 He is on the left side, closest to the door. He is easy to spot because he doesn't have the red stripe aka "blood stripe" on his dress blue pants.
This is highly unprofessional....extremly dissappointed in the USMC and the USMC Honor Guard and especially that particualar NCO calling commands....pathetic
@SEAL1990Blaze Not really sloppy. Sword drill isn't like marching drill, just like weapons drill isn't like marching drill. Some of the commands are meant to be done in unison and others you are allowed to do at your own pace.
@MrClarkisgod Ahh i see, but still if i was in charge of this detail i would have it run in unison. thats just me. still even though its allowed to be at there own pace. it looks sloppy.
@wanglimp1 What are you talking about? I SAID that you were the best Marine ever. My son might disagree with you because he thinks HE is the best Marine ever. But then, he doesn't go around trying to demonstrate it to everybody with manual references and crass criticisms and such.
@Azishome As a matter of fact, why don't you do your research. This CPL doesn't even RATE the arch of swords. How about you check out page 5-26 of the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual.
bride is on the wrong side. she is supposed to be on the left, and SHE is the one to get the "smack" on the butt - the proper Marine Corps tradition way.
like everything else it has ups and downs. some of the stuff is retarded but in general i love it. message me if you have any specific questions ill answer them for ya
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The whole marine sword thing is nice in theory, but not in reality... everybody is so tense. No disrespect to the marine corps in any way, I love the marines. But the sword ceremony is not the best idea for a wedding....
Sir, all Marine are warriors. Just as all who are in the service. The sword, in this case, celebrates the bond of warrior Marine with his wife in marriage. It's the bond of Warrior and Love for his family. It wouldn't be a USMC wedding without the sword.
Sooo sweet! Thats beautiful

English and American custom, which gives a symbolic pledge of loyalty to the newly
married couple from their Marine family. Only the newly married couple is allowed
to pass under the arch. MCO P5060.20 5 MAY 03 CH5 SEC 5016 PAR 1 PG 5-26.

@zillaxy Fact: the USMC dress blues are the only dress uniform of any service that are Red, White, and Blue. true patriots and all Americans. The red stripe on the trousers, also known as the blood stripe, honors the fallen Marines from the Battle of Chapultepec during the Mexican War, where an extremely high percent of Marine Officers and NCO's where killed. changing the uniform would not only dishonor all of those Marines, but the Corps itself.
Respect to all United States Marines.

@cheesesteak93 Well, they do change the uniform, but its mostly very minor aesthetic changes over the years. The colours have always been the same.
Semper fi.

@ihatekate08 He is on the left side, closest to the door. He is easy to spot because he doesn't have the red stripe aka "blood stripe" on his dress blue pants.

This was done very sloppily. Very disappointed that ANY NCO would let this happen this way. The USMC usually has a higher standard.

SEAL1990Blaze 1 year ago
@SEAL1990Blaze Not really sloppy. Sword drill isn't like marching drill, just like weapons drill isn't like marching drill. Some of the commands are meant to be done in unison and others you are allowed to do at your own pace.
MrClarkisgod 1 year ago
@MrClarkisgod Ahh i see, but still if i was in charge of this detail i would have it run in unison. thats just me. still even though its allowed to be at there own pace. it looks sloppy.

@wanglimp1 What are you talking about? I SAID that you were the best Marine ever. My son might disagree with you because he thinks HE is the best Marine ever. But then, he doesn't go around trying to demonstrate it to everybody with manual references and crass criticisms and such.

@Azishome As a matter of fact, why don't you do your research. This CPL doesn't even RATE the arch of swords. How about you check out page 5-26 of the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual.

Do all Marine wives have to get married this way? :S
GenjitsuSama 1 year ago
Well, it is traditional, so I would just go with it.
OK, Marine Sabre Ceremony Sucks! Air force/Navy Ceremony is way better, I mean, the Marines didn't even have good timing, or do the "Kiss to Pass"
Zethioth 1 year ago
I think it just depends on the group, some groups actually do it better.
GenjitsuSama 1 year ago
@Zethioth I've watched some other ones where the Marines did a "kiss to pass", but this particular ceremony looked quite sloppy, didn't it?

@TheOnlineCommunity Indeed, very sloppy, no practice. I mean they even did a Dress Right Dress! Well, we are only human though.

the reason why the bride is on the left, is because the Marine groom is "presenting" his wife to the detail.

bride is on the wrong side. she is supposed to be on the left, and SHE is the one to get the "smack" on the butt - the proper Marine Corps tradition way.

The whole marine sword thing is nice in theory, but not in reality... everybody is so tense. No disrespect to the marine corps in any way, I love the marines. But the sword ceremony is not the best idea for a wedding....

@incognitoants and why is that?
ExoFlip 2 years ago
Sir, all Marine are warriors. Just as all who are in the service. The sword, in this case, celebrates the bond of warrior Marine with his wife in marriage. It's the bond of Warrior and Love for his family. It wouldn't be a USMC wedding without the sword.
