While I was out this afternoon I passed a local bridal shop. In the window were two pretty wedding dresses. I didn't avert my gaze as I would've done previously, and lingered on them for a few seconds. I hadn't been feeling particularly trans girly the past couple of days, so it was nice to a bit of confirmation again. A few minutes later I started imagining my younger self wearing one. Now you only wear one if you're getting married, so my little daydream expanded on that a little. The happy day when my new wife and I would make a pair of blushing brides. How beautfiful I would've looked. It was just a passing vision that lasted no more than a minute or two, but pleasant nonetheless. The only problem being that I had no idea who my bride was, or what she looked like.
Have any of you had a similar dream of being the bride dressed all in white on your wedding day? Alternatively has seeing other types of clothes triggered other visions of a slice of your happy life?
xox,

This is not one I have thought about too much, although it was triggered a bit by how lovely my wife looked on our wedding day. But I mostly thinking about the day-to-day of being a wife more than the actual wedding.
I will say, though, our wedding was pretty awesome. So was our honeymoon. The worst part was being the groom, not the bride haha!

I've had very similar. There is a bridal shop on a route that I don't drive particularly often, but I did go past it a month or two ago. I did get a big wave of sadness, imagining what it would be like but knowing that I will never get that.
Growing up I used to fantasise about having a wedding. Being completely truthful I can't remember whether I pictured myself as bride or groom, although I do know I always felt envious of the big, pretty, white dress. But let's be honest, how many cis males really fantasise about a wedding, as opposed to meeting someone to have that wedding with...

Sorry to read that it made you sad. Completely reasonable to feel that of course.
You're right about cis males and weddings. Is that partly because so much of the attention is on the bride? It is so much seen as her big day and not the groom's.
I've never had that feeling at about wanting to be a bride before. It was always just dresses in regular clothes stores that called out to me. Also I never saw myself as a groom either, other people got married, not me.
Writing this now I'm thinking what a pretty bridesmaid I would've been at both my sibling's weddings. Instead I got the boring jobs of being usher and best man. Ugh, just typing that last role makes my skin crawl.

Haha! I have been a best man twice. I actually enjoyed it because my speeches were pretty good if I do say so myself. I am actually a best man again at a wedding next year. Should be my last time and I have built up a pretty big expectation to deliver a great speech. I am pretty sure that is why he picked me to be honest.
I'll say this though, no one has more fun at weddings than the bridesmaids.

I think the dress suits you very well Chloe. I think mine would be more modest.

That's a very nice dress Maria. You'd look lovely in it I'm sure.
This is more along the lines as to what I'd like to have, with the long flowing veil. The design isn't quite right for me though. I might take a proper look at them at some point just to see what's available for my imaginary white wedding.

I'd like something like this. No matter the dress I know I definitely want a tiara, and want to go for a princess bride type look.

That is lovely. I love the pattern in the material When you say Princess Bride do you mean as in Disney princess, or actual Princess Bride - "Hello my name is Inigo Montoya..." 😜
