[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and i are having a disagreement about what he should wesr to my company's Christmas party.  It is a formal event.  I have been working there for about six months and i am so excited to go.  The problem is that my DH, a U.S. Army captain, wants to wear his formal mess dress.  I am arguing that since the event is not military related he should wear a civilian tux.

He says that i am not proud of him if i do not want to be seen in public with him in uniform.  I've explained i am just more comfortable with him in a civilian tux at a civilian event than in an Army uniform, no matter how good he looks.

What say you?[/quote]

He should wear what you ask him to wear. It's your event. You would wear what he asked you at his event. That is the rule. Period.[/quote]

Seriously? Both of your husbands are allowed to specify what you wear to events they invite you to? Yeah right.[/quote]

Actually, if you are a military spouse the answer is yes.

Want to wear a sexy cocktail dress to the awards banquet? Nope. A pantsuit to the mil ball? No again. Nice jeans and a sweater to your husband's change of command or promotion ceremony? No again.

The military has so much protocol that dictates what, how and where spouses dress for various events and ceremonies.  So yes, the active duty member and service traditions dictate what a spouse or date wears to events they are invited to. I am sure OP has played along like a nice spouse for countless events over the years.[/quote]
