. The Saber Arch is a wedding tradition in which the swords or sabers are used to salute a newly married couple. The bride and groom pass under an honorary arch of sabers. The tradition is a world wide. It's tradition has origin goes back to the British navy. Officers and enlisted personnel in the bridal party wear formal dress uniforms. The bride and groom proceed into the arch , and as the couple passes through. The last two saber bearers usually lower the sabers in front of the couple, detaining them momentarily.
