Her Side, His Side

Her Side

Preparing to attend the wedding of a friend of my SO,  I, being a hetero female, donned a pretty pink skirt, white top and pink blazer.  I longed for my SO to dress the way that he would, if he was dressing only for me.  I sought out and selected out his hot pink bra and panties and dreamed of him in a skirt and blazer that would match mine.  Unfortunately, this is not something that he is currently (and I am not sure) will ever be comfortable with. Although he does where his Satin Mini Skirt and Satin & Lace Bra around the house.  I appreciate the fact that he embraces his feminine side and is able to share that with me.  

Upon our arrival at the wedding, we visited with a friend and grabbed a quick drink prior to the Bride and Groom arriving.  I did a double take when they walked in.  Previous to this, I had only met the bride.  As they entered the room, I realized the Groom was dressed in a tank top, suspenders, and a long black pleated skirt with the most amazing shining gold shoes I’ve ever seen. I looked at my SO realizing he hadn’t seen this prior to the couple sitting down at their table.  As I listened to the fifteen minutes of speeches, there were comments on how he donned a dress better than the bridesmaids.  My mind wandered to what he may be wearing under the skirt?  I wondered; did he shop at XD like we did?  Did he have two drawers full of pretty panties and bras as my SO Does?  A closet draped with a number of satin chemises and nighties? I continued to wonder what my SO would think and how he would feel about the Groom in his skirt.  Would it help him to understand this is ok?  

After the speeches, we congratulated the Bride and Groom.  It was a wonderful to meet him and to know the bride too embraces the individuality and energy of her SO.  I hope to one day discuss our commonality with them.  That’s my perspective, but I wondered about his?

His Side

The bride had been a client of mine for 15+ years and I was happy to receive an invitation for her wedding. They became a very close friends over all those years, and I was honored to be a part of this very special day. So, as we prepared for this very special occasion, we showered, I shaved, she make-up’d, and as my SO and I always do, we choose each other’s underthings. She chose a hot pink bra and panty set for me to match her skirt and blazer, and I chose the same for her. Wearing matching lingerie makes what we do seem a little more special.

Entering the small and yet, so fitting establishment with approximately 75 guests, it clearly had a unique energy feel to it.  The Bride and Groom were very cool, forward thinking, and had an energy of love and acceptance. I noticed the bride when she came in the room, dressed in white, and the typical wedding dress that most brides dream of.  The groom, white shirt, black suspenders, and what I didn’t know until after the speeches, a long black skirt with gold shoes. What I found out after, is that he dreamt it up, and she brought it into reality. A true relationship. If it was me 10 years ago, I would have been “WTF”? this makes no sense, and how can a “guy” where an elegant skirt to a wedding?  Today, I was so impressed and honored that he could just be himself, and how his new bride could support him, in being him. I was so impressed when I came up to congratulate them, that they were just who they are.  No hiding, no playing the status quo, they were just being who themselves.  That, my friends, is so admirable.  Knowing that I did not wear a skirt, I did wear my feminine lingerie underneath. He did let me know, that it was ok to just be yourself. 

Back to Her:

As I read His Side, I couldn’t help but smile.  I know how he truly feels and am blessed to be the one he shares this with.  I do hope that one day my SO can express him/herself freely for everyone.  As we saw what the bride and groom share with each other, we realized that we do as well.  Do you?? Would love to hear your stories, can’t wait! 

Satiny Hugs,
