Sooo.....

On Monday, I plucked up the courage to ask my girlfriend (transgender man-to-woman) if she would marry me.

She's just come out as female, so is learning things like make-up, dresses etc. and asked me if I would give her a make-over so she'd know what she likes for herself. I had just finished and she loved what I had done - just simple and subtle (like how I do mine as and when I can be bothered to wear it lol) - and as we were about to watch 'Air Crash Investigation', I knelt down and the conversation went like this:

Me - I know we broke up before and that was on my part and I hadn't realised just how much you love me. I want to just say that you are the best person in my life and you have really opened my eyes as to how you now want to be. Will you marry me?

Her - (after looking completely shocked for a few seconds) Are you serious?

Me - I wouldn't be kneeling down on a) my bad knee and b) during a pain attack if I wasn't serious.

Her - OMG - Yes! Yes! Yes!

She then pulled me up and hugged me so hard that my ribs still hurt on Tuesday morning lol.

I am really glad that I proposed to her as she means so, so, so much to me and she knows me more than I probably know myself. 

All of my friends and family are really happy for us - especially as I spoke about her transitioning on my FB page - the amount of people who congratulated us was amazing, plus a couple of my work friends actually sent me cards (one being personalised to the both of us).

I just wanted to add this on here as well as I love this forum and thought people could enjoy our special moment as well.

Mweekie xx

  • It's a mine field tbh. If you go for matching dresses then there will be endless arguments over which style which bride prefers. Non matching dresses and it might become a competition to see which bride can outdo the other. They could agree to each pick each others dress ... then it depends very much on the temperament of both parties ... if one is sufficiently saucy and mischievous enough the other might end up wearing a dress with about the same coverage as dental floss ... although that could make for an entertaining wedding.

    Then there are bridesmaids / groomsmen. Will the bridesmaids all wear the same style? Two styles for the 2 brides? Will they both walk down the aisle and both have a set of bridesmaids? Will the groomsmen walk with the bridesmaids? Or will they just make their male friends wear dresses as bridesmaids if they want to be part of it all? So many choices you normally wouldn't worry about.
