What light to carry on my wedding day?!

[foxtrot29]

Getting married on Friday! Thinking of carrying my 4sevens R2-123!

I don't know, man. You better not let your new wife find out you're thinking about flashlights on that day. Keep it well hidden at least.

Seriously? I can imagine you planning on what light to pack for your honeymoon, but carrying one during a wedding?

 

[JaguarDave-in-Oz]

that's pretty funny but you won't need a torch. Trust me, it glows................

 

[lctorana]

There is only one answer.

None.

Nil.

Nada.

The day is all about committment.

Total committment.

No toys, no gadgets, and no thinking about them.

Is that a flashlight in your pocket or you glad to see me.

 

[hyperloop]

well, if you're dead set on carrying one, i'd say something tiny and discreet, Raw NS, LD01 something along those lines. NO holstering lights in your wedding suit

a small single celled light will work..... if it was me, I'd have my LF2XT on a neck lanyard(under clothing, not visible)

1 light is enough..... unless wedding is in Vegas, than anything goes.

Fenix TK40 - there might be a power outage and you'll need 630 lumens to light up the entire church!!

Only kidding,

My advice, leave the lights at home!!

James....:thumbsup:

I wore my ARC LS under my tux and I also had several lights on the table where everyone signed our guestbook. Also had my knife.....
The best part was when i handed out raffle tickets to give away one of my Elektrolumen Blasters. Our photographer commented that was the first time the wedding party gave something back.
I did what I was comfortable with.

There are just so many wisecracks here that would probably get me banned....

That light says more about you than some rented tuxedo. Go with a light you love, and if you need it your wife will have another reason to love you.
There's nothing wrong with being prepared.
Have a great wedding!

Honey, here is my wedding band...

for the wife and she has a choice too!

And if you want to be real stealthy...

I carried a full size .40 S&W pistol with two spare mags at my first wedding in a shoulder rig. It hid perfectly under that jacket. I just sold that pistol. Funny it lasted longer than the wife. It was before i re-discovered CPF many years ago. I also carried a Streamlight scorpion I think. If the sun went out and we lost power and the zombie hoards invaded I'd be ready.

A light bright enough to illuminate the "Tunnel of Love"

 

[The Hawk]

Sounds good. Best of luck. I would make sure the best man is packing a light also.

When i got married i had my Novatac EDC-120p in my pocket, and a spyderco cricket clipped IWB

I say carry it, providing your wife to be doesnt mind. if its small enough she probably wont notice anyway

funny story, i was photographing a wedding the other day, patted my pockets, and found my novatac was missing.
told my wife, and she said wasnt overly happy, was even less happy when i told her that it was the light i carried when we got married (she new i was carrying it, just needed a reminder of the memories attached to the light)
i got home and found it on my bedside table, i hadnt picked it up that morning was glad that i hadnt lost it though

but but but... if the power goes out, and the emergency lights fail, people could die in a stampede panic! I won't have such shenanigans at my wedding!

Oh yes, it will just be one. Must be prepared! lol

I think I've settled on the Surefire E1B, which fits nice and discreetly under the suit (not wearing a tux). And of course, a small, lightweight folder -- Benchmade Pika II.

The "future wife" loves me for who I am -- she knows I'll be packing a light. She rolls her eyes, but she gets it.
