Another outstanding job by Alexis! You are a great looking couple. Get some miniature medals and add them for next year. You can wear them on your civilian jacket lapel. If you stare at this pic long enough, the medals will appear!

The wearing of miniature medals on civilian formal wear is correct, though -- it is not considered "mixing" of military kit and civilian "mufti".

Looking good, man! I'd wear miniature medals with civilian attire---but a good cookie and a fire watch don't make a very imposing display!

Todd is right on this one. Occasions of a military nature (like the MC Ball) is one case where the wear of medals by civilians is specifically allowed.

Of course you don't have to, but I figure if you earned them, wear them.
