I never heard of this before - but we have been invited to attend a costume engagement party. My wife suggested that we attend the costume party for her niece with us dressing as a bride and groom. She is very supportive of my CD and very excited about the opportunity to CD openly together. She wants to me to buy a gown, shoes, etc and she is going to get a tux. Sounds great but I have concerns. Is it appropriate to dress as a bride and groom at an engagement party or would it look like we were upstaging the future bride and groom to be? It seems to be a terrific chance to dress up fem at a large party. I have rarely been out in public thus far. If I go all out for this party (heels, full make-up, shaved legs etc) would it raise suspicions from her family members who will be there? If I can walk in heels, dance in heels and look too comfortable, will I send signals to my inlaws? I am not sure about Uncle Tony transitioning to Aunt Toni but it seems like a great opportunity.
