I did have a few Wedding dresses on one in front of my wife. But she won't let me buy one.

Well Angie you at least had your moment in the sun !
Maybe renting one would be the way to go, has anyone tried ??
I have two wedding dresses--one long and one short. Thrift store. I used to have an additional one--but my wife got rid of it long ago during on of her purges when I was out of town. This was partly due to the outside shed storage--a mouse ate a few pieces out of the hem.
I have to say, wedding dresses are a different beast all on their own. I have to agree with Wifeling in that they carry a lot of meaning for society. I don't agree with them and hence, I would never wear one. A ripped one stained by fake blood while dressed as Frankenstein's bride for Halloween, sure. But as a serious dress for my wedding day, no. That doesn't stop me appreciating their beauty,when there is a beauty to be appreciated, but not enough to wear one. I come from a culture where wedding dresses are rented and not bought so I never had the attachment in my head that exists in most of the western world. Brides get them for 4 days, wear on the day and a relative returns them the next day. Done and dusted, no mess, no need to store or worry about hubby getting into the box while I am out at baby classes. But I gave some thought into what you said and I think I wouldn't be happy if he would touch that dress. Of course, I would tear his arms off if he got into any of my clothes as I am very protective of my stuff in general. I have a few dresses and I like them to retain the memories of where I wore them, what I did during that event and if I had a good time. That would be like someone trying to steal those memories from me. That would propably apply to a wedding dress.

Another kindred soul!! Irregular choice must make their shoes from heroin, I can't seem to stop myself from browsing and buying them. I must find a support group and quit somehow...
Thank you all for your input Ladies.
So if we look at wedding dresses as being sacred and having meaning then how do we look at French Maids Outfits, which many consider demeaning ?
How would you react to your guy mincing about cleaning house in the cute dress ?

Sounds like you're derailing your own thread now.
I think the differences between wedding gowns and maid outfits are patronisingly obvious and I'll predict no happy replies from GGs. Except maybe my wife who'll no doubt opine it's fine as long as the vacuuming gets done.
Maids' outfits, even on women, come loaded with sexual connotations and that's without even mentioning the inherent misogyny. Dressing as paraphilia is an area I can easily imagine women being less comfortable with.
What's next, a dominatrix outfit?
I wouldn't want to suggest a lover of mine don such garb, much less want to know her opinion of me in such. All power to those whose 'thing' that is but for many here, myself included, CDing isn't about the sexual kick.
Did I mention the sexism?
(oh and I'm not even gonna take a barge pole to the concept of crossdressing as 'hilarious' . SMH)
When I was married, my wife once picked out some dresses for me, which were similar to what she purchased for herself. I never bought a wedding gown, though I do have the desire to, since it's a verrrrry feminine article of clothing, and of course, the pictures of such beautiful women in the pictures are what my mind aspires to; but my mind also knows that I could never look that way, so that kind of crushes the desire to buy something so impractical.
When I did purchase formal, long gowns, I found them annoying to wear. I kept one, but the others have all gone to Goodwill. I occasionally get the urge to wear the last one every so often, but, as before, quickly tire of wearing it.

There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
For just a one time experience, I'd really like to have a full bridal makeover and with my wig and boobs go to a bridal shop and try on some gowns and have scads of photos taken to remember the event.
Maybe when I die I hope to be in a casket wearing a sort of black lace wedding dress.
In solitude where we are least alone. Byron
I don't have one nor have I ever worn one, but I do dream about it from time to time.
I would love to renew our vows and either have us both in wedding gowns or just me and she in a nice dress (she wouldn't go for the tux thing), but I know I'm the only one who would enjoy this.
Sometimes a dream must remain a dream.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
