Oh I would love to be invited to a wedding, even if it was one where people new me before!
The last one I went too was a wedding for my niece in early 2011....it was right at my in-between stage but still presenting male.. I did decide to wear some striped socks and these type shoes. The rest was 100% male clothing, black slacks, solid collard shirt and my hair was in a short pony tail. I felt really awkward going but wanted to finally have a little fun. When I arrived no one recognized me, and after they were told by me or someone else who I was, I was talked too as if I was ill LOL It got even stranger, as I waited at the end of the bar to get served, I mentioned to the guy next to me that they should have more than one bartender. He then proceeded to call the bartender down our way by saying "she" would like to be served. I was like are you kidding me!! Now what the hell are people going to think!!
I avoided all picture opportunities and I think I did fairly well since I just recently seen some from this wedding and only seen my arm in one pic.
The bouquet throwing and the garter toss was a really strange time, I wasn't invited in the bouquet toss (thank God) but it was awkward standing there watching the garter toss. Thank God no one asked me to go out for that either!! I did leave early since I didn't have the fun I expected to have, the last straw was when I needed to use the restroom and was looked at very strangely when using the men's room.
