Just a couple of the pix I snapped -- I know the pros will have much better pictures.
Pat with the groomsmen -- BTW, this is the first time I've seen him in his dress outfit.
Very nice! Although that is not the really one of the "dress" uniforms. He appears to be wearing the newish Class A Army Service Uniform, which replaced the old Class A Green Uniform a few years ago, and is the equivalent of a business suit. I am a little surprised he did not at least wear one of the dress blue variations of this uniform which would have let him wear a bow tie as well!
(Although it appears the time of day dictates whether one wears the four In hand tie or the bow tie. Been out of the Army too long and so much has changed!)
And the blue "mess dress", which is the military equivalent of a tux, is a good bit more formal than that.
Not the greatest example (and not me!).
