Strictly Come Dancing dress-up date night on Saturday

[Stevie Allyn]

My wife realised today that this year's final of the UK's Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing With the Stars in other countries) is on my birthday. She is a big fan of the show and I am not. Told her I had no problem with her watching it live, she suggested we both get dressed up in sparkly clothes and watch together. Sounds like a good idea to me!

So Saturday evening we'll be all dolled up and sparkly and watching celebrities dancing with their professional partners. Then a nice meal and bottle of wine, some more TV and cuddles.

Anyone else planning on doing something similar with their SO this weekend?

[Raychel]

That sounds like a pretty prefect weekend Stevie
Sounds most enjoyable,

[VickieBonne]

That sounds like fun! My mother-in-law is living with us for a while and for now our dressing together is confined to our bedroom. It won't be forever and my situation with dressing is better than most so I will just tough it out a little longer.

How fun ENJOY!

[KymG]

Sounds great, except for the strictly bit..

Im joking, its great that she is accepting.

[Samm]

That sounds like fun!
I'd like to do something like that for new years eve. If only I could make it past 9pm lol

[AngelaYVR]

We did that last night, my wife wore a polka dot dress and I wore my white merry widow. A little lopsided but I’m not complaining! The other difference was we watched a Christmas movie but I used to enjoy those dancing programmes, (Julianne Hough doing the samba while wearing the tiger print bodysuit still gets the pulse racing)!

[TerriLynnCD]

How great! I could only wish my wife would suggest something like that. Then again, the kids being around stops that also.

[Crissy 107]

What a great idea, lucky you!

[Cheshire girl]

We did this once and will probably do so again this Saturday. Enjoy! The dresses worn by the presenters and others are a big trigger to me to want to dress. I usually love what Tess is wearing and notice every detail of makeup shoes jewellery etc. The audience in normal times are often very glam and I envy the women on the front row with their short dresses high heels all dolled up.

[CharlotteCD]

If I could bring myself to dress in front of my wife etc then this would be a perfect night. We always watch Strictly, s d are keen ballroom dancers, so this would be great.

Also, dancing in high heels - amazing feeling!!

[bridget thronton]

Sounds like a wonderful evening - you have a great wife

[prene]

I am envious.
I would love to.
I am not good in high heels though

[Kay J]

Yes you are very lucky! I don't know what would be the best me wearing a dress or my wife wearing one its been two years the last time i saw her in a dress! Lol Oh well i am glad to be the lady of the house! ;)

[Stevie Allyn]

Hi girls,

Yes indeed I do know how lucky I am to have my darling wife be so accepting. She has her limits but I respect them and try not to push her boundaries. Though I still hope she will agree to me having my ears pierced eventually - taking it slow and steady, slow and steady 😁

Really looking forward to it but have run into a few problems already! What dress to wear, what colour nails, which shoes to wear etc :daydreaming: A nice set of problems to have I think you'll agree!

[Jane G]

Sounds like a lovely birthday plan. For sure we will be watching the strictly final, one of our favourite shows.:battingeyelashes:

[docrobbysherry]

If you're both dressed to the 9's I hope you'll be Dancing with the Stars, Stevie!:daydreaming:

[Stevie Allyn]

Jane G,

Will you be making an occasion of it, and if so how?

Hey Doc,

You wonderful crazy in a good way person, not sure how much dancing we'll be doing. Maybe if there's a smoochy tune we'll get up for a good old smoochy shuffle round the dance floor. Otherwise I think all the smooching will happen on the sofa!

:daydreaming:

Much love,

Stevie

[Jane G]

There will be smiles and dancing. I will be leading. Tis the way it Tis.

[Stevie Allyn]

Smiles and dancing sounds good. I'm feeling more up for a bit of dancing now. This does mean we'll have to move the dog beds and pick up all the dog toys scattered across the floor ...
