Once a long time ago I think I mentioned that we’re both wearing dresses for our ceremony. F Stripes, however, is convinced that you all think she’s wearing a suit so she wanted me to set the record straight (hee hee) and treat you to a sneak peEk of our two-dress affair. I am still waffling on my dress but I do LOVE how we look together! Just try to ignore our pointy feet mkay?!

And here’s a few more of the beautiful F Stripes:

And a couple more of my dress, too:

A great post by Raven over on So You’re Engayged really made me stop and think about the social/cultural/whatever-the-eff ramifications of both wearing dresses to our wedding. And I LOVE IT. I love that we’re both wearing dresses, and here’s why—it’s secretly subversive. How’s that, you say? Even more subversive than two-girls getting hitched in a state that voted against our right to wed?

Raven put it more eloquently than I ever could, saying, “I hadn’t seen many pictures of two brides both in dresses. But every time I do… well, I know it sounds cheesy, but my heart skips a beat. Maybe there’s something about the undeniable homosexuality of that image. There’s no chance of mistaking one of the brides for a man, even momentarily.”

And that, my lovelies is why I LOVE that our two-bride wedding is a two-dress affair! Make no mistake our wedding is a seriously gay affair. A no-joke, bad-ass, two girls in white mini-dresses getting hitched and making out in public affair.

The whole notion that one half of a gay couple has to “be the man” or “be the woman” is such a heteronormative stereotype, not to mention often untrue. AND nothing says take a look, we’re both girls, and we’re getting married to EACH OTHER like two white dresses. So take a good look. And let me know what you think of the dresses!

Are you waffling on your dress decision, or making any statements with your wedding attire?
