Planning a Transgender Wedding... My Own

When I met Terry, it was truly was love at first sight. She proposed to me last year and wanted to get married right away, but I responded, "I need more time!" Not because I wasn't ready to marry her, not at all. I just needed more time to learn all the stuff about weddings that I likely would be aware of by now if I had been raised a girl.

I certainly never thought about being a bride. I never read Brides Magazine nor imagined being Cinderella. When I married my late wife Barbara in 1975, I was the groom and my name was Jeff. But after figuring out later in life that I was transgender, I often found myself tearing up at the sight of wedding gowns and wishing I had had the experience.
