I would assume that the rules governing the belt are the same as other belts. Buckle centered on gig line, not cinched so tight as to affect the normal lay of the ASU coat. Now, as far as how "high" on the waist, and covering the last button vs between the bottom two buttons, I have seen it both ways on images. When I look at images of Honor Guards, it looks like the belt if worn at the narrowest part of the waist and falls between the two lowest buttons.
Perhaps reach out to the 3rd ID (The Old Guard) for guidance. I bet they have a POC on their website or FB page. Another place to look would be an Army Band unit.

SSG James Elmore, the only info I've ever been able to find on the ceremonial belt is from Marlow White. It's worn only with the ASU uniform on ceremonial occasions, with or without NCO sword or officer saber. The link provided is for the enlisted belt. Officers' belts utilize branch specific colors between the two gold bands along the outer edges of the belt. 1SG (Join to see) SSG Jordan Gaudard

I will be getting married in November and will be wearing my ASUs. I have ordered the full size medals as well as the ceremonial belt. My commander from when I was a 1SG will be my best man and will be wearing the same. In looking at pictures I have found, I notice that most people are not wearing the SSI-FWTS on their uniform but some are. It seems that the ones that are not were wearing the old blues uniform, and the ones that are have on...
