Stolen valor wedding

You Marines are going to love these two guys, the wedding couple dressed as stylized Marine four-star generals; “The couple wore military designed Nehru jackets accented with officer eagle globe and anchor collar insignia, gold eagle buttons, four star epaulettes…”

But President Obama sent his congratulations, so they have that going for them;

Thanks to Mary at Fake Warriors for the heads up.

    The Duke of Nashville unites with the Duke of Indianapolis. I think this is how WWI started.

    WTF, over?!

  3. OWB

    Hmmmm. And this was for reals?

  4. Sorry, forgot to add the source; Sunday edition of “The Tennessean”, 9 Sep 2012. Yep, for real.

  5. Holy shit on a shingle! I think these two were trying to make a point!

  6. Didn’t even bother to read and jumped to the responses. Leathernecks should be doing their op order on a frontal attack on this one.

  7. MCPO SPEW ALERT

    Cee Lo Green has been known to do this kind of stuff. There he goes again … I did know he was gay?

  8. Jabatam

    To think Indy is where I call home…shame shame shame

  9. Note to self. Don’t read TAH after stuffing yourself at Cracker Barrel.

    Hope they choke on each other!

    Dukes as well as generals? I’m not sure about this, but I don’t think this is exactly what was meant by the British Army when someone purchased a commission or colours.

    “Hope they choke on each other!”

    I see what you did there. 🙂 Well played Sir!

    I’m sorry. I couldn’t read the rest of the article due to visibility factors. Too much steam coming from my ears.

    Look, I’m for gay marriage. I think everyone should be able to find someone, meet, fall in love, and then spend the rest of their lives hating that person. But for fuck’s sake, don’t disgrace the Marine uniform in doing so. That’s what some of these people don’t get. If they were quieter about things and took things in smaller steps, they’d find more support. But selfish bastards (or bitches…whichever) like this gotta go and do something outrageous and enrage people who would normally support them.

    Wonder where their ADC..Major Woody is? Probably out in the limo with their driver Private Parts

    Something tells me Admiral Mike Mullen was at this wedding

  16. radglock

    What the……!??!! It’s like a Brian Camacho TLC wedding special from hell.

  17. Tman

    I don’t know, is this really on the level of our usual stolen valor cases?

    Did these two claim any affiliation with the military, and did they even know what kind of uniforms they are? Looks like a uniform designed by someone to give the general look of a military uniform but to the average person doesn’t look like any particular branch (outside of the eagle/globe/anchor).

    Is it too late to demand they give their wedding gifts to Obama campaign? Sorta retroactive and all.???

  20. Duffle blog material.

  21. Wasn’t Isaac Hayes the “Duke of New York”? I’d find the picture touching, in a wierd sort of way, if I didn’t feel like these two were mocking honorably serving Marines and other service members (straight or gay).

  22. MCPO SPEW ALERT

    I don’t know which one looks happier!

    Either way … they both look FABULICIOUS!

  23. Blue

    Can’t wait for the Duke of New York and the Duke of Earl to show up and kick their asses : )

  24. SkrtSkwrl

    How long till that dude has diabetes? I’ve got $20 on the right leg going first.

  25. JP

    Duke…or Duchess?

  26. JP

    I think a Navy “Rear Admiral” uniform would have been more fitting…

  27. MCPO SPEW ALERT

    @ JB … that was a LOW BLOW. Ah … scratch that. That was insensitive and might offend some Sailors.

    They got their free Obama phones – woo hoo!

    That they are “rump rangers…I don’t care. That they got ‘married’…I don’t care. That they used the Eagle, Globe & Anchor…THAT I care about. If these fudge-packers want poke each other in the butt, that’s their business but when they bring my beloved Corps into the mix…FUCK THEM.

  31. Ex-PH2

    It’s ew-w-w-w-w big time.

  32. UpNorth

    @#25. I’d wager $40 on both legs going. Wonder which one is the “food service Manager”?

  33. 2-17 AirCav

    I must say, you folks are incredibly tolerant, save for the Marine angle. Me, I can’t get there from here. I roam among the dinosaurs and do not recognize this strange world.

  34. I just puked, thanks

  35. 3 words: What the Fuck?

  36. Common Sense

    To be honest, I think they just like the military uniform look and probably have no idea what the eagle, globe, and anchor stand for.

    BTW, who the heck are they that they got best wishes from Obama and Biden? Never heard of them.

  37. UpNorth

    Common Sense, they got props from Obama/Biden because those two dunderheads thought they actually were in the military.

  38. Tman

    The sheer amount of anti gay bigotry on display here is sickening.

    Who cares if these two fudge packers, these loving pole smokers, want to marry each other and spend the rest of their lives with each other?

  39. Green Thumb

    MC all the way!

    I hate to say this, but get used to it.

    Thank God I am out. But it still turns my guts.

    Out.

    At least they aren’t rocking four rows of ribbons.

    meh. military “themed” is not stolen valor. not seeing any fraud here, or too much stuff to be butt hurt over. wait for it…

    Good for them, could just as easily have gone rennaissance fair with the “sirs” and duke stuff.

  42. Memories from the Past. I can throwup on a empty stromach.

    Butt which one is really the ‘duchess’ of the duo??

    Did the Earl of Cloves attend?

    Sir Loins of Beefeater? Baron of Munchhausen? Princess of Peoria?

    You know the tall Guy is the Duke, and ceelo is the dutchess.
    Why am I speculating on this anyways?

    @MCPO LMAO love it.

    I’m sure this is how they received the “well wishes” from POTUS and VPOTUS: http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/consumer/a/greetings.htm

    Pretty sad. For the most part I have 100% supported this blog but you dropped the ball on this one. Those outfits are meant to be regal they are in no way attempting to give anyone the impression they are military. I am glad I now see the bigoted nature of the people who post here and their ignorance.

    Clearly they belong to the Imperial Court system, the 2nd largest gay organization in the world. It has been active since 1965. The Imperial Court of San Diego alone has raised over 25 million dollars.

    This is not an issue for this blog and you should be just as ashamed as the real violators of Stolen Valor.
