Re: US Merchant Marine Academy
Nope but my DH is a USAFA grad and we've attended a few weddings at USAFA, USNA, and West Point and all those chapel's have wedding coordinators because they have some strict rules you might want to contact them.
Hoping to be able to use it! My fiancee is a U.S. Marine but won't be active duty at our wedding, he will be serving his inactive reserve. I am getting conflicting information on this so I have to get down there and check it out.
The woman at the chapel is really nice. Her name is Annalyn, you can call her, and she'll be able to tell you if you qualify (516)773-5305. The chapel and the reception hall have different qualifications, with the chapel being slightly stricter. My fiance' is a merchant marine, and a navy reservist and we got in fine.

I know at the other service academies you can only use them if your spouse, parent or yourself was either an Alumni or a employee at the Academy.
Laura, we had a military wedding if you want to see any pictures or talk traditions.

Re: US Merchant Marine Academy
I went to a Bar Mitvah there it was beautiful!!! I was impressed by it but had already booked the Coral House.
just got off the phone and they are going to get back to me about it. SHe is pretty sure thta they have priority for active duty members but that we would be able to have our ceremony there being that he will be inactive reserve at the time. However if an active duty Marine wanted our date they would get first consideration.
When they say active reservists have priority, they mean that if an active duty person applies for the same date as you around the same time that you apply, they will get it. But if your date is open and they give it to you, and confirm it. You won't lose the date to someone else, somewhere down the line.
