Micaela and Charles, Traditional Military Entrance

“A special military tradition, which occurred when we were being announced as a couple, was the sword arch,” says the couple. “Charles's military buddies formed two lines and crossed their swords in between. The newlyweds had to walk under an arch of these swords as they were introduced. As they approached each set of swords the officers would lower their swords, and demand, "A Kiss to Pass" to much applause! At the last sword, Charles's best man swatted Micaela's bottom with the sword, and loudly announced "WELCOME TO THE NAVY, MRS. JONES."”
