Copyright by Reluctant Press All Rights Reserved THEGROOMWOREWHITE By JAMIE Ann and Jeff were juggling schedules, trying to establish a wedding date which would work for each of their families. They had been at it for about two hours and had nearly ru- ined two calendars, turning pages and comparing their families schedules. They had dis- cussed just eloping and saying screw the wedding. Since they were the ones paying for this shindig, eloping would cover most of the cost of furniture for the unfinished apart- ment they had just signed a lease on. The last Saturday in October was their best choice as far as relatives were concerned, and they had almost settled on that day, until Jeff realized it was also Halloween. Ann thought they had better stick with it, and go for a late afternoon affair, in case the relatives kids wanted to go out trick-or-treating that evening. Ann suggested that since they would be getting married on Halloween, in keeping with this special day, the groom should wear white. Ann would wear the tux, and Jeff the gown. It amused Ann to think that with her being three inches taller than Jeff, when they kissed, with Jeff in heels they would be evenly matched in height. Three words came out of Jeffs mouth: No way, Jose. Ann just laughed and said, Lets call the whole thing off. Lets just live in sin. To Hell with a damn wedding. Jeff knew just what kind of static he would get from his Mom and Dad if they called off their wedding. He knew that they had to have some kind of ceremony in order to maintain relations with his side of the family. He asked Ann to reconsider their wedding plans. Ann said Why cant we enjoy Halloween while we make our commitments to each other? I enjoy dressing in costume. Why cant we make our wedding into a real costume affair and invite everyone to come in costume? Page - 3 THE GROOM WORE... BY JAMIE Copyrighted Material Not for Redistribution or Resale The kids wont mind us having our wedding in the evening if they get to dress up in costumes rather than in dresses and suits. Imagine the Maid of Honor being Count Dra- cula and the Best Man being Dolly Parton. The flower girl could be Frankenstein and the ring bearer, Marilyn Monroe. Jeff frowned at her suggestion and said, Lets just call the whole thing off. Ann said, Lets poll the participants. You select five of your relatives and Ill do the same. If we get more nos than yess, we can scratch this idea. But if we get mostly positive answers, then you will be the bride and wear the gown. Jeff thought she was nuts. He was sure all their relatives and friends would think this was a preposterous proposal and it would fall flat on its face. They each selected their five people, then swapped the lists, so that Jeff called her list and Ann called his. To Jeffs sur- prise, the response was eighty percent in favor of the costume wedding suggestion. Now Jeff was really shaken. What was he getting himself into? Anns next move was to call and order a tux in her size and a gown in Jeffs size. Then she turned to Jeff and said, You had better start training in your three-inch heels, you have only two weeks to master that skill. Let your nails grow. We can rent you a wig from the costume shop in town. You wont need a purse, but you will need an outfit for when we leave the reception. Oh, I ex- pect to lead on the dance floor, and be very graceful when you toss your bouquet, honey. Jeff hoped that the gown was only available in Anns size, also that the floor would open up and swallow him for the next three weeks or so. He asked, Ann, why dont we just elope like I wanted to? Ann laughed and said, Too late, Jeff. Our friends and family have spoken. You had better stock up on razor blades or buy an electric shaver. The following Wednesday, the formal shop delivered a special package to Jeffs mother at the family home, addressed to Jeff Johnson. Another package was delivered to the home where Ann Brown lived. In his package, Jeff found a bra and false breasts to help him eliminate the wrinkles in the front of his gown. Feeling trapped, he had no choice but to begin practicing with the three-inch heels also included in his bag of goodies. Ann informed him via phone that her tux was a perfect fit, and asked if he had tried on his gown yet. Ann suggested that it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her gown before the wedding, but once he had his pantyhose and panties on, she would be there to assist him with the rest of his dressing and preparations. In fact, he had better come to her place to get ready for the wedding, because she had more of the things he would need. Her Mom could help her get Jeff into his bridal outfit. She had ordered a gown with a bustle in- stead of a train, and he would have to learn how to sit in an outfit with a bustle. It would take hours to get him ready. On the other hand, all she would have to do to finish her dressing would be to slip into her tux jacket and flat shoes and she would be ready to go. Jeff was praying for an earthquake or a tidal wave. The shoes were tight on his feet, and his Mom teasingly suggested that he remove his socks and wear pantyhose or knee highs. She offered three pair with slight runs for him to Page - 4 Copyright by Reluctant Press All Rights Reserved practice and train with. She was pleased that Ann was going to make her son get all dolled up in a wedding gown; she was still trying to decide just what she and her husband would wear to this costume wedding. She wanted to convince him to let her rent an Elvis cos- tume for him, and she would dress as one of the teeny boppers that flocked around that great performer. Her husband, John, was suggesting that he be a ghost, because they were invisible, and then he wouldnt have to go at all. Jeff and Ann must be out of their minds was his thought on the subject. With all of the calls telling Ann what everyone was selecting for costumes, it looked like there would people from all ages and walks of life, including outer space. The biggest problem would be to get Jeff trained in the wearing of girls clothing, especially in three-inch high-heeled shoes. With only two weeks to learn to walk gracefully in that type of footwear, Jeff should be practicing constantly. Ann needed to find a way to insure that he was doing so. Ann went to his family home just after Jeff got home from work, hoping to find Jeff al- ready practicing with those shoes.
