Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 16:55:36 -0500 From: Joyce Devries Subject: Bridesmaid-For-Real 7 BRIDESMAID FOR REAL, Part #7 A long adventure of how I became to be a Bridesmaid in a real Wedding when only the Bride and Groom knew my real gender. By Joyce Devries, joyce_devries@hotmail.com ICQ: 26082876 Note, this a true story, none of the names have been changed, but certainly not the events of the days!, this is taken right from my diary entries of the time. My (email) name is Joyce Devries and it was a real life adventure that till this day has never been matched for an exciting adventure. I am 5'2", TV, live near Toronto, Ont., Canada, pass quite well as a woman and have done tons of "real life" things as a woman, but this was the ultimate in adventures. THE BIG DAY, THE WEDDING!, NOVEMBER 1989 The total realization of what I was just about to do came to me as I left the room and heard the organ music in the church. Myself, Liz and Teresa waited for Debbie to get through the door and helped her to the back of the church. I could see that the church was packed, but remembered what my girlfriend had said and "stick to the job at hand". Teresa then quickly came running to each of us and handed us tissues and we were told to hold on to them, as they may be needed. I was told to wrap them around the handle of my bouquet and no one would notice them. I worked with Teresa and Liz and made sure that Debbie's dress and train were properly laid out, and while I was doing that I could see that it was Debbie's turn to start shaking. We all calmed her down and told her that everything was going to be all right. Debbie's father came to the back of the church and grabbed onto Debbie's arm and then I knew it was time. I moved to the back of Debbie with Teresa and we "fluffed" out her train and made sure everything was right with her veil and her dress. I was not paying attention but heard the organ music get louder and before I knew it, Teresa started walking down the isle!. I quickly got up and stood in line with my flowers, I smiled back at Debbie who had a big, but nervous smile on her face. Then it was my turn, my legs started to shake and I knew that I could not turn back and slowly started down the isle, remembering the step my girlfriend had taught me and smiling as wide as I could. The church was full, and all sorts of people I had never seen before were smiling and looking back at me. I was about half way down the isle when my girlfriend jumped in the isle and snapped a picture of me, I remember looking at her for only a second and then carrying on. I got to the front of the church and stood beside Connie and then turned to look to the back and waited for Debbie to come down the isle. Once Liz was in place, there was a pause and then the Wedding march started, and Debbie on the arm of her father started coming down the isle. It was certainly a sight to behold and I for one had tears flowing as she walked towards the front of the church (I certainly used my tissue!). She got to the front and we all turned and faced the minister at the front of the church. As I stood there, I could feel the eyes of the rest of the church staring at the back of me and could not help but feel nervous. The ceremony went on and I did what I was told and stood there, the only one that really had anything to do was Teresa as she grabbed Debbie's bouquet and handed her the rings. The ceremony went on for what seemed like hours, but it was only about 1 1/2 hours, and I did not know about the other girls, but standing in one place for 1 1/2 hours in 3 inch heels was not that easy. My feet were KILLING me, I started to shift back and forth as the pain started to run up and down my spine. I have always had no problems in walking in 4" heels for a long time, but standing still in comfortable 3" heels, that was another story, my feet and thighs were aching!. The service was finally over and Debbie and Carl left with Teresa and the best man to sign the marriage license, and the remainder of the girls where allowed to move around and be a little more comfortable. I looked back at the church congregation and could not believe how packed it was, I kept looking for my girlfriend but she was no where to be found. I stood with the other girls and we talked about how wonderful of a ceremony it was and that it was perfect. Finally Debbie, Carl and Teresa and the best man came out of the office and she grabbed her flowers from Teresa and the two of them faced the crowd. The minister then announced, "ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson". Then the music started again and as Carl and Debbie walked to the back of the church, each one of us grabbed the arm of the usher we where paired with and walked to the back. I grabbed on to Paul's arm and he had an honest and sincere look in his eyes and told me I looked "gorgeous". We walked to the back of the church and again I saw my girlfriend and she took another picture of Paul and I as we walked by her. Once at the back of the church, we were ushered to the side room and the door was closed and the only people in the room were all the girls and guys in the Wedding party and Carl and Debbie. Debbie and Carl could not keep their hands off one another and could not stop kissing and Debbie also could not stop smiling. The door opened and Sam walked in and came around to each one of us and adjusted our lipstick and blush, and touched up a couple of our eyeliners. I noticed that she had changed for something more appropriate for the church and was dressed in a long black skirt, cream colored blouse black hose and low black heels. Eventually a knock came to the door and we were told that the church was clear and the photographer was ready for us. We all walked out of the room and we all helped Debbie with her dress as we walked to the front of the church. I noticed that the front door of the church was closed and the only people left were the Wedding party and the photographer. Pictures of Debbie were taken, then of Debbie and Carl, then finally the whole Wedding party. These pictures did not take as long as at Debbie's house before the Wedding and were done really quickly. Teresa then came to all of the girls and told us that we had to leave the church before Carl and Debbie, and we grabbed our bouquets and walk to the front of the church and out the front door. We were greeted with a throng of people!, my nerves started getting bad again and I tried to relax. I tried to spot my girlfriend but she was nowhere to be found, but there were tons and tons of people standing around. Teresa came around and handed each of us a little bag full of rice and before I knew it, Debbie and Carl came out of the doors of the church and the cheering started. I followed the lead of the other girls and showered Carl and Debbie with rice that was in my bag. Carl and Debbie headed for the limo that was parked at the bottom of the stairs and quickly got in it. I was then totally surprised that Teresa came around and told us that we were now heading for more pictures and to follow her to the limo parked behind Debbie and Carl's. I was surprised at the fact that there was another limo just for Teresa, Connie Liz and I as well as another just for Debbie and Carl, and to boot more pictures!. As we entered the limo I noticed that it was the same size as the one that we came to the church in, which meant without Debbie and her huge dress, we had tons of room. Connie was closest to the champagne and pulled out the glasses and poured glasses of champagne as we drove to the site of the pictures. I had no clue where we were going and sat back and enjoyed the ride, and we all talked about how wonderful the day was already. I recognized a building that I had passed hundreds of times and it was a large city hall building of the same city that the church was in. We pulled up to the front of the building, I was surprised, I thought, "how we going to be taking pictures here?". I followed Teresa and her and I helped Debbie out of the limo and we walked up the stairs, I had Debbie's flowers and Liz and Teresa helped with Debbie's train and dress. We entered the front doors and I was floored!, off to one side was what looked like a gigantic glassed in forest!. Teresa asked me to help with Debbie's dress as she went and was talking to a woman that was at the entrance and what I learned later was that she was "signing us in". We where told by Teresa everything was set, and that they were "ready" for us. We went as a group to and I was blown away, I had no idea that this building I passed so many times had a flower garden and forest in it!. The photographer then started to arrange us in an area that we were directed to, with lovely flowers and foliage behind us. Again, we smiled and smiled as pictures were taken and at one point when I was standing there, I spotted my girlfriend and she was taking pictures as well as other people between the photographer taking pictures. When I had a chance I looked over my girlfriend and she was gorgeous. Her hair was freshly done (I assumed she got it done at the salon) and her makeup was stunning and she was wearing my dress and it looked perfect on her, certainly better than on her than me!. She was wearing a pair of sheer black hose and her heels were the 3" black patent heels that she wore "clubbing". She kept on smiling at me as she snapped pictures, and I could not help but smile back. The strange thought then crossed my mind as I stared at her and that was, "with her looking that gorgeous and pretending to be available and single, she certainly will be hit on at the reception". Speaking of "hitting on", one of the photographs that we had done was on a set of stairs and Debbie and Carl were at the bottom, and each one of the girls, stood with the usher they were paired with, leading upwards. Of course mine was Paul and the way that we had to pose had the guys with their hands gently on our hips and the girls in front holding our flowers. It took a while to set the pose up and Paul took the opportunity to gently blow in my ear and I had to swat his hands away as he caressed my taffeta covered behind. I did nothing but smiled and stared ahead and listened to the photographer, I thought, "if I ignore him, he will go away". However, later in the evening I learned I was going to regret those words. Eventually the pictures were done and as we helped Debbie with her dress and flowers, as we left, we passed another Wedding party coming in the gardens and it was quite the site, about 9 Bridesmaid's and two Brides and all of the guys in tuxes. It certainly was a site, and as they went in, we continued to the limos and once Debbie was comfortably sitting down, the rest of us climbed into the other limo. The ride to the reception hall was about 15 minutes and some of the girls, not me, had another glass of champagne. When we got to the hall, we all saw Debbie getting quickly out of the limo, Teresa told us to leave our flowers in the limo and to grab our purses as that was the plan. As we walked to Debbie and Carl's limo, Debbie was in a bit of a panic and when we asked what was the problem, she quietly told us that, "she had to pee like no tomorrow!". Teresa asked Liz and I to take Debbie to the washroom and asked Connie to help her get things ready for the entrance for the couple in the hall. I grabbed the back of Debbie's dress and Liz helped her at the front and away we went to find a washroom. As we entered the main foyer of the hall, we where immediately met by Debbie's mother who directed us to the ladies room just inside the main entrance. There were allot of people standing in the lobby and one of them was my girlfriend and I could see a big smile on her face as she watched me follow Liz in behind Debbie as we went into the washroom. I was blown away by the washroom, it was huge!, not as big as Debbie's parents, but it was well lighted with lots of mirrors and brass fixtures, it was really nice. We were the only ones in the washroom, and both Liz and I looked at each other both really did not have a clue as to what we were supposed to do!. The three of us talked and Debbie backed up to one of the stalls and Liz handed me her purse and I laid both of ours on the well lit vanity and helped Liz squeeze the huge amounts of crinolines and Debbie's dress into the stall. Once she was in, I saw Liz start to help her peel back layers of fabric and helped until Debbie told us she could feel her panties on the seat of the toilet. It was a sight I will never forget, all of that material "pouffed" up around her waist. Debbie managed to pull down her own panties and the door was still wide open as she did her business, but no one could see anything anyway with all of the material. Liz was still holding all of the material at the back of the dress safely out of the way and Debbie was smiling at me and quietly said, "I am done". I smiled back and then realized with Liz looking at me like I should know what to do, I looked back at Debbie who discreetly pointed a finger at her crotch. Again I thought, "this is not happening" and Debbie unrolled a bunch of toilet paper and handed it to me. Debbie kept on smiling at me and her eyes motioned to her crotch, Liz could not see any of this and I reached down, pulled all of the material out of the way and wiped her crotch clean, I then dropped the tissue into the toilet. I helped her pull up her panties, seeing that my lipstick mark had not faded or anything and then Liz and I helped her stand up and leave the stall. We all made our way to the well lit vanity and I opened my purse and handed the lipstick to Debbie and she adjusted her lipstick and I adjusted mine after she was done. Liz also was checking her hair and makeup and once we were all done, back to the reception we went. Teresa and Liz and I were in the main lobby with Debbie while Connie was talking to the master of ceremonies and it was time to "bustle" Debbie's dress up for the evening. Well!, it was comical as all four of us could not remember for the life of us initially on how the dress was supposed to be bustled!. Debbie's mom finally came and helped and after we had located all of the of the little tiny loops on the dress and found the hooks, we managed to figure it out. Carl came out of the entrance to the hall with the master of ceremonies and asked if we had Debbie ready for the entrance to the hall. When we made sure everything was perfect, Teresa told Carl that Debbie was ready and we were asked to follow Debbie's mother into the hall. As I entered the hall I could not believe my eyes!, chandeliers everywhere!, and the room was huge!, it was moderately lit, and I could see in the distance the large head table that we were going to be sitting at. I stood next to Liz and Teresa and then the master of ceremonies shouted out, "please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!", then the crowd erupted into thundering applause, and Debbie and Carl came in and made there way to the front of the hall, with the rest of us following. As we got to the front of the hall, Teresa and Liz helped Debbie get on the podium and sit down as well as managing her dress, while I looked around and figured out were to sit I found my name on a tag (thank heavens). I had no clue about the seating arrangements, and did not even think about it, but could see that all of the girls were on one side and the guys the other. We were also seated according to the order we walked down the isle. Teresa was right next to Debbie, then Connie and myself and Liz, our corresponding ushers were seated the same way. One of the things that happened as we waited for dinner to be served, is that Teresa leaned over and quietly asked if everything was going alright with Paul, I quietly responded, "well he has already 'felt up my ass', during the pictures and the dancing has not even started!". She smiled and told me that everything was probably going to be alright and not to worry. I scanned the room, which was huge, trying to find my girlfriend and after looking far away at tables and such, I then spotted her at one located right near the head table. She was seated right next to Liz's boy friend who was a hunk to say the least, I had seen him at the rehearsal party, but with his hair cut and the suit he was wearing, he was a definite "chick magnet". On the other side of my girlfriend was another hunk, I figured he was a male model or something, as he was very attractive, turns out he was Teresa's fiancée. I could see that my girlfriend was having a good time as she never looked up at me during the time before the meal was served and was joking and having fun with both of the guys on either side of her, I wondered.... Before I could think anymore, dinner came and we were served first, before the rest of the crowd. I still occasionally looked over at my girlfriend and at one point Liz leaned over and quietly said to me, "I think your friend is having fun, but I hope not too much fun?, my boyfriend can be such a tease at times". I just smiled back at her and said, "the way she looks tonight, I think allot of guys are going to notice her". Liz totally agreed and my head was spinning with thoughts as she was commenting on how sexy she looked and that she wished she could find a dress as pretty as the one that she was wearing. All I could say back was, "well the girl certainly has a great fashion sense", I smiled as Liz said back, "she certainly does". That comment from Liz was certainly one for the "memory banks", and I smiled even more as I ate my dinner. As we continued to eat dinner, something happened that I was not aware of and that was way in the back of the hall the "tinkling" of glasses started and got louder. I had no real idea of what was going on, but saw Debbie and Carl stand and kiss. During the course of the dinner this happened several times, sometimes I could tell they were kissing really deeply, and then Teresa leaned over and told all of us, "ok girls, Carl and Debbie have to eat sometime, next time it is our turn". Then the "tinkling" started just after she told us and out of the corner of my eye I saw all of the ushers stand up and come towards us. For me, it was all in slow, slow motion, I could see Paul coming towards me, with a wicked grin on his face, I saw Teresa get her kiss, she was the first, a light peck on the lips. Paul then leaned over and I puckered my lips for a light kiss and his kiss was anything but light. As I said it was in slow motion and I thought his lips lingered for at least a minute on mine, but in fact it was about 10 seconds, he pressed hard and I could feel his tongue try and pry open my lips. I kept my lips shut tight and eventually he broke off my mouthed the word "later" to me as he walked back to his chair. I looked over at my girlfriend who had a look of concern and shock in her eyes as she saw what happened, but since the eyes of 300+ people were on me, I chose to ignore it for the time being, and just smiled. Dinner continued, and thank heavens the clinking died down as people started eating and I never had to face Paul again at dinner for a kiss. After dessert was served the speeches happened, the best man gave a toast to the Bridesmaids and Teresa read some stories about Debbie, and some of them involved "me", Barb, and it was fun listening to what she and the real "Barb" actually did. Then the moment I dreaded happened, the first dance was announced by the master of ceremonies and the rest of Bridal party was to join in for the second song. Debbie and Carl made their way to the dance floor and they danced to their first song and then the moment came, the second song. I joined the other girls and made my way to the dance floor, and there was Paul grinning from ear to ear and from what I gathered, obviously drunk. The second song was a slow one and at least he had the decency to hold my hands away from him and dance "civilized". As we danced, my girlfriend got up and took a picture (why I have no clue), and Paul continued to try and "seduce me", during the dance (which I thought would never end), it turned out I was basically holding him up as we moved around. He told me how sexy I was and how I was the man for him, etc., etc (he got graphically sexual in his tone of voice). He kept telling me that I wanted his tongue during that kiss at the head table and I would have it later, possibly in the gardens outside, and that I was prettier than his girlfriend (who was sitting about 30 feet away). The dance mercifully came to an end and I finally got to see my girlfriend. I told her I needed her to join me in the ladies room and she grabbed her purse and so did I and away we went. At that point I was emotionally a mess and could not help but break down in her arms as soon as we entered the ladies room, crying like a baby. She soothed me and told me everything was going to be all right, several other women were in the room, but at that point I did not care. She hugged me and quietly whispered to me, "I know, I know, you are a very attractive Bridesmaid this evening. I cannot come out and openly protect you, try and stay away from him. I will not judge you any differently if you succumb to his advances, remember, tonight you are a single available girl". Teresa came in as my girlfriend was finishing talking with me and at that point I was in no shape to talk and she asked what the problem was, and my girlfriend told her, "looks like Paul and his drunken advances are getting the best of her". Teresa was furious and said firmly, "I will take care of that little prick", and turned and quickly left the washroom. As she left the washroom, my girlfriend helped me over to the vanity and sat me down and gave me a hand at fixing my now ruined eyes. It was comical though as she opened the purse and saw the Kotex pad, tampon and condom, she looked at me and joked, "maybe kissing tonight is not all I have worry about?". I just smiled back at her (and tried to laugh) and she helped me re-apply my eyeliner and fix up my blush and lipstick. She helped me up and handed me my purse and since this was the first time we actually had a chance to talk, she quietly told me, "to me, you were the prettiest Bridesmaid today, you looked lovely, please enjoy the rest of the evening". I knew she was lying as Teresa was certainly the prettiest, but I appreciated the compliment. I told her that I had to use the facilities and she said that she would see me back in the hall. I went and used an available stall and tried to relax after the events with Paul. When I was done my business, I left the stall and double checked my makeup and hair, then left the washroom. As I entered the main foyer heading towards the hall, I saw Debbie coming rushing towards me. Before I knew it she gave me a big hug and asked if I was alright and she told me she heard what happened. I told her that I was alright and she told me that Paul was not going to be a problem probably for the rest of the evening as he was in the men's washroom vomiting from being so drunk. Inside I was very relived and vowed to enjoy the rest of the evening no matter what. We both headed back into the hall, which was now dark for dancing and full of 300+ people. I made my way through the crowd and about half way through, just before the dance floor I felt someone grab my hand. I looked back and it was Carl, very handsome in his tuxedo and he gave me a light kiss on the cheek and ask, "may I have this dance?". I graciously agreed and he held me tight and romantically as we danced to the song, "Lady in Red". He said nothing, just stared at me and smiled as he glided me around the dance floor. When the song ended he gave me a light peck on the cheek and whispered in my ear, "you are very pretty today, I have a funny feeling I will not forget you later this evening". I smiled back and in my head said, "ohhh I don't think you will forget about me". He squeezed my hands and then told me to enjoy the evening and disappeared into the crowd. I made my way to the head table and dropped off my purse and then "it" happened. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to find a gentleman that was about 5'6", and was really good looking. He smiled at me and said, "I saw what happened to you, something like what happened today should not take place to a beautiful girl on a day like today". I was not sure what to say, but when he offered his hand to dance I accepted. The song was very slow and he "swept me off my feet" and took me out on to the floor. I was lost in his eyes as we went all over the dance floor, he kept on complimenting me and telling me how he was "memorized by my beauty" from when he saw me walk down the isle. He totally respected me and held me out from his body as we danced, I could smell his cologne and stared into his deep and penetrating eyes. He told me his name was Colin and that he came to the Wedding reception stag and just loved dancing and kept on telling me how sexy and pretty I looked and was an old friend of Carl's. We stayed on the dance floor for what seemed like an eternity, but it was only about 5 songs. Afterwards, I told him that I had to sit down for a minute as my feet and calves were absolutely killing me. He took me by the hand and lead the way to the head table and as I sat down asked me if he could get me anything to drink, and I told him a glass of orange pop would be great. He disappeared into the crowd and I looked over at the table were my girlfriend was sitting and saw she was not there, and I tried to find her in the crowd but could not. Debbie's father then came to the head table and said, "such a pretty girl should not be sitting alone, can I have this dance?". I knew I could not refuse and took his hand and he lead me to the dance floor and we started to dance to a waltz. My calves and feet were absolutely aching, but I smiled and danced with him. He told me that all of the girls looked lovely and that he appreciated what I was doing for Debbie. I just smiled back at him and told him that it was "my pleasure". The song ended and he gave the a little peck on the cheek and thanked me for the dance and held out his arm and lead me back to the head table. Colin was waiting for me and had my orange pop and handed it to me and I apologized and he told me not to worry that he knew the Bridesmaids had certain duties. I told him I definitely had to sit down and did at the chair at the end of the head table, he sat down next to me and he held my hands as we talked. He told me all about himself and asked if I was seeing anyone, and I smiled back and quietly said "no". As we were talking I looked over and finally saw my girlfriend, she had come off the dance floor and was hand in hand with a guy I had never seen before. She looked at me in the eyes and smiled and then grabbed her purse and held it up and motioned towards the exit, and I knew what that meant. I grabbed my purse and excused myself and joined my girlfriend as we walked to the washroom. I followed her into the washroom and it was quite crowded, we really did not say anything to each other but stood in line for a stall. I went in first when one came available and when I was done with my business, I headed for an open spot at the vanity and opened my purse and started adjusting my makeup. My girlfriend came up beside me and started to do the same. I was putting on my lipstick when she said, "so I see you have a new friend?", I looked back at her in the mirror and said, "I see you have one as well?", as she opened the top her lipstick, still staring at me in the mirror and said, "single girls right?". I looked back at her and quietly said, "yes, single girls". She finished her lips and then looked over at me and said, "I hope you are not jealous, but I am having a great time". I told her that I was a little jealous, but realized that under the circumstances I could not do much. As she snapped her purse shut, she smiled and looked at me and said, "remember, we are going home together". She took one last look at herself smiled at me and then turned and walked away from the vanity leaving me standing there. I shut my purse and made my way out of the washroom and back into the hall. Colin was waiting for me at the head table, still sitting there and welcomed me back and asked who it was that I went to the bathroom with and I told her that is was a girlfriend of mine. I looked over and saw the guy that she was dancing with and her where gone. He then smiled and grabbed my hands and told me that she was pretty, but I was prettier. I blushed and thanked him, as I sat and rested my feet, I saw Teresa and Debbie coming towards the table and Teresa told me that she could not find Liz or Connie and Debbie needed help and was going to the washroom. I apologized to Colin again and grabbed my purse and excused myself and followed Debbie and Teresa to the washroom. We entered the washroom and even though it was crowded, some of the girls waiting in line saw Debbie coming and offered her their stall. I went in the stall first and Debbie backed up and as she came in I grabbed the back of her dress and starting to pull and gather the material and held it up as she came backwards and sat down. She managed to get her panties off and did her business, it was so strange as I looked out of the stall and saw Teresa helping with the front of her dress and then, what I later learned was one of her aunts, came and actually took a picture of her!. When she was done, Teresa wiped her clean and pulled up her panties, then we both carefully helped her up and out of the stall (I don't think Teresa saw the lipstick mark). We got to the vanity mirror and I was the only one that brought a purse, so I quickly opened it and handed my lipstick to Debbie to touch her lips up. As she was touching up her lipstick, I checked myself in the mirror and saw that I really did not need to do anything. Debbie handed the lipstick back to me and the three of us headed back to the reception. As I walked back to the head table, I moved around the dance floor and a slow song was playing, then I saw it, my girlfriend with her head on the shoulder of the guy she was dancing with and his hands on her bottom. Jealousy ran through my body, but I could not help but hearing her words echo in my head, "single girls right?". I found Colin waiting for me at the head table, and I apologized profusely for leaving him there. He grabbed my hands and just smiled and said, "the work of a Bridesmaid is never done". I sat down and rested my now absolutely aching feet and calves. The song that my girlfriend was dancing closely with her partner ended and I watched as they came off the floor and to the table. I saw her and the guy she was dancing with exchange a light kiss and then he left towards the bar. She looked over at myself and Colin and just smiled and then looked away. Again, jealousy ran through my body and I had to keep everything under control, and I did, my head was echoing "single girls, single girls". Colin could not help but notice were I was looking and commented, "looks like your girlfriend is having a good time?". I just smiled at him and commented back, "yes she is". Even though my calves and heels were aching I grabbed his hand and asked him if he was ready for another dance. He looked a little surprised and told me "of course" and lead me to the dance floor, and we had to pass by my girlfriend's table. All she did was smile as we walked by and I saw the guy she was dancing with come back to her table with two drinks in his hands. Colin lead me to the dance floor and even though I knew I never considered myself gay, I certainly felt very comfortable in his arms and in a way very safe, as he glided me around the dance floor. We stayed out for about 4 songs and then I asked Colin to help me back to the head table. Colin held out his arm and I grabbed onto it and we walked back to the table (rather Colin walked, and I held on!). He sat me down and asked if I was interested in another drink and I asked for another orange pop. Colin left me at the table and I looked over and saw that my girlfriend and her new boyfriend were gone. Liz came up to the table and commented to me that I certainly was spending allot of time with "the guy she saw leaving the table". She had her purse in her hand and asked me if I wanted to go to the ladies room. I always joked about women "tag teaming" to the ladies room and knew that even if I did not have to go, that I should go with her. I grabbed my purse and followed Liz into the ladies room. It was really, really crowded in the ladies room and we stood in a long line for a stall. I really did not have to go, but stood and talked to Liz, and she was relentless in asking me about Colin, saying things like, "isn't he a 'hunk'?" and "betcha never thought you would find a guy like that at a Wedding!?", and finally, "so are you going to see him again?". I answered the best I could and finally it was my turn for a stall and I went in and peed a little. I met Liz at the vanity mirror and was checking over my makeup and she leaned over and asked, "so have you kissed him yet?". I told her "no", and she just smiled and said, "before the night is over girl, I bet you do, he is irresistible". I closed up my purse and stared in the mirror and looked at myself and Liz standing next to me as she finished up putting on her lipstick and could not help but see that I was almost as pretty as her. She snapped her purse shut and said, "ready to go?, don't want to keep him waiting". I smiled back and told her "yes" and followed her out of the crowded ladies room and then back into the hall. I walked back to the head table and there was Colin, still waiting for me and gave me a little hug and a very light peck on the cheek as I walked to sit down. I apologized again for leaving him sitting at the table without me being there. He told me there was no problem and that he knew girls have things to do and going to the washroom was something girls had to do together. I blushed and said, "yes we do", we talked and talked for a long time and he asked me a ton of questions about everything and I was glad I was not drinking as I had to keep my stories straight. From time to time I looked over and for the longest time, never saw my girlfriend, but I did notice that her heels were under her chair, so she was dancing in stocking feet!. Colin continued to hold my hands and telling me how pretty and lovely I looked, he certainly knew how to charm a lady. When I rested for about 15 minutes a special song came on and Colin told me it was his favorite and if I was ready to dance again. I grabbed his hand and he lead me to the dance floor and gracefully started to move me around the floor. It was strange, even though the hall was crowded and people were everywhere, all I could see was Colin's eyes, he kept staring at me as the slow melodic song went on. Eventually the song ended but Colin kept hold of me and stared at me and then it happened, he move his head slowly to mine and gently put his lips to mine and gave me a firm and loving kiss. I reciprocated and he squeezed me tighter and then let go and stared at me in the eyes and told me, "thanks for the dance, I love that song and it was so nice to share it with someone as pretty as you". I had no clue what to say back, but, said, "your welcome", he then held out his arm and I grabbed it and we headed back to the head table. Debbie and Teresa were sitting at the head table as well and when were approaching Colin asked if I wanted another pop?, I told him yes and he went to get it. I sat down next to Debbie and she grabbed my hand and giggled and said, "I saw the kiss on the dance floor, he is a hunk, hope your girlfriend does not get jealous?". I smiled back and said, "turnabout is fair play" and pointed over to where my girlfriend was sitting and she was holding hands with her new boyfriend. Debbie just smiled and quietly said, "well then, do have fun". Debbie then asked both Teresa and I if we could give her a hand going to the ladies room, and I grabbed my purse and said, "of course". We helped her out of the chair and both followed her to the washroom. I passed Colin coming back with my pop and told him I would be right back and he said, "no problem, see you in a bit". The routine was the same as the previous visits, this time Teresa "took the rear" and was the first in the stall and I helped Debbie with the front of her dress and was the one that wiped her clean and pulled up her panties. As we came out of the stall, we all made our way to the vanity and I was just in the process of opening my purse to grab my lipstick, when my girlfriend came and stood beside me and surprised me. She was opening her purse and quietly said, "yes dear, fix your lips, after that wonderful passionate kiss on the dance floor, I am sure that they will need fixing". I must have turned 10 shades of red and was flush all over, and looked back in the mirror at my girlfriend who was grinning ear to ear and as she fixed her lips. She then quietly said, "remember, what is good for you, is good for me, you are a pretty Bridesmaid and we are both single girls tonight and my new boyfriend is hot". I looked in the mirror and saw Debbie's face next to mine and she obviously heard what my girlfriend said and was giggling a little. My girlfriend was putting her makeup back in her purse and quietly said, "the way you two are going this evening, he will ask for your phone number, I trust you are going to make one up?, or are you going to see him again?". She smiled and giggled a little and left me standing there with my lipstick open and I had not even touched my lips up, as she walked away. I was dumbfounded and just stood there and then Debbie nudged me and told me jokingly that I should fix my lips. I did and packed my lipstick back into my purse and followed a giggling Debbie with Teresa back into the hall. We all headed back to the head table and after helping Debbie sit down, I joined Colin and we resumed our conversation. The evening absolutely flew by and after a few more dances with Colin, I was still on the dance floor and saw Teresa coming around and talking to all of the Bridesmaid's. She got to me and told me that in 10 minutes all of the Wedding party was to meet in the parking lot. I thought "what the heck?", but it seemed Colin knew and squeezed my hands and said, "ah yes, the work of a Bridesmaid is never done". He lead me back to the table and then just before I was to sit down, Teresa came and told me that it was time to go. I grabbed for my purse and Debbie said, "no need for that, just come on!". She grabbed my hand we headed into the chilly November night, I recognized Debbie's car as we headed towards it and all of the Wedding party except for Debbie and Carl was there. She had the limo driver that drove us open the trunk of the limo and in it were about 8 garbage bags. She told each of us to grab one and then to follow her. We got to Debbie and Carl's car and Liz already had the door opened and then we opened the bags, they contained tons of little balloons. We spent the next little while piling them into the car and the guys were busy putting a "just married" sign and tying pop cans to the back of the car. I had no clue what was going on but it was fun anyway. I was not the only one that was freezing cold and as soon as the girls were done with the balloons we headed back into the hall, leaving the guys to finish up. I got back to the hall and made my way to the head table and was just about to sit down when I saw my girlfriend look at me and smiled and held up her purse. I apologized to Colin and told him I would be right back and grabbed my purse and followed my girlfriend through the crowd to the ladies room. It was less crowded than before and we both right in and got stalls. I sat down and peed a little, but could hear my girlfriend in the stall next door and could tell she really needed to go. I fixed myself up, adjusted my bra, and headed for the vanity and very soon after my girlfriend joined me at my side. I was touching up my lipstick again and she was reaching in her purse to do the same, and all the while she was smiling at me. I looked at her and said "what?", she said back, "cannot wait to see what happens at the end of the evening?. She was finishing her lips and again left me at the mirror wondering what she was talking about and kept smiling and said, "with all of the attention your boyfriend has given you this evening, I do hope you 'thank him'". She snapped her purse shut and quickly turned and left. I was left wondering what she was talking about, I had an idea, but was not really sure. As I walked through the lobby and back into the hall I noticed that the time was 12:30am!!!!, I got back to the head table and Colin and I continued to talk. Then Teresa came and told us it was time for the garter toss and the bouquet toss. The first was the garter and all the girls stood aside and the sexy music started and I could tell Debbie was gently raising her dress so that only the leg and not the panties were exposed. Carl got on his knee and pulled off the garter and threw it into a crowd of men that dived for it, it was comical to watch. Then it was the bouquet toss, all of the women gathering in a crowd and Debbie took a bouquet (which I later found out was not the one she used in the Wedding), and turned her back and threw it towards us. My girlfriend almost caught it, but it was one of the cousins that managed to grab it. After the bouquet toss, the last song of the evening was announced before Debbie and Carl where leaving. As headed back to the head table to grab Carl my girlfriend came and told me she wanted to go after the last song and that she would meet me back at the car. The song started and it was "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin and Carl met me just before I got to the table and lead me to the dance floor. The moment was so romantic I stared into his eyes as he moved me around the floor. Again, I was lost in his eyes and the rest of the world did not exist. Unfortunately the song came to an end and at the end of it Carl drew me close and gave me another gentle and loving kiss and I responded. I told him I had to go and if he would walk me to the car, he readily agreed. I took his arm as we headed back to the head table and I was met by Connie and Teresa and I told them I had to go. I grabbed my purse and Teresa told me that the gift opening was going to be at 11am at Debbie's parent's place and that my "friend" was welcome to go as well. I was not sure of what "friend" she was talking about, but I assumed it was my girlfriend. I looked over and saw that she was already gone and I told Colin we should hurry as I did not want to keep my ride waiting. Teresa also told me not to worry about my flowers that she would make sure everyone got theirs the next day at the gift opening. I saw Colin scrambling around his suit and finally came up with a business card and a pen and looked me in the eyes and asked for my telephone number. I know my girlfriend joked about this in the ladies room, but I thought it would never happen. I looked deep in his eyes and said, "yes", I grabbed the pen and part of me wanted to give him the real number, but I wrote down a fake number and handed the card back to him. He smiled and said, "I will definitely call you, this evening has been very enjoyable". I said my good byes and Colin offered me his arm as we left the hall and walked into the parking lot. I had no idea where my girlfriend had parked and Colin asked me if I knew where and told him, "I Don't know", Colin then laughed a little and said, "I think over there might be a clue", and pointed me toward the back of the parking lot. My girlfriend and her "new" boyfriend were up against her car making out, she had her arms wrapped around his neck, purse in one hand, and he had his hands under her skirt and on her bum. As we approached the car she heard my heels clicking and broke her kiss and looked at me and said, "oh hi Barb, I am just thanking Steve for a wonderful evening, I will be done in a minute". I grabbed Colin's hand and made my way to the passenger side and could hear my girlfriend still making out with Steve and looked into Colin's eyes and said "thanks for everything". Colin leaned forward and started kissing me like no tomorrow, his tongue darting in an out of my mouth and I could not believe it, but I reciprocated, he hugged me tight and my mind was focusing on him and could not care less what was happening with my girlfriend. Eventually I heard the car door open and my girlfriend start the car, we finished a very long kiss and when we broke I told him I had to go. He smiled and said, "I will call you, a pretty girl like you cannot be single for long". I opened the door and slid in, for the entire ride home we never said a thing and my girlfriend just kept looking over at me and smiling. We got home and as my girlfriend was closing the door behind me she said, "we are no longer single girls, that was just for this evening, and it was fun, no one got hurt, what happened this evening is left behind the door". She symbolically shut the door and gave me a little kiss and said, "it was fun, and you certainly were cute, I loved watching you with your 'boyfriend'". She hung up her coat then grabbed my hands and said, "I wonder what Carl and Debbie are up to about now?", I shrugged back and said, "probably consummating their marriage". She smiled at me and came to me and grabbed the sides of my head and started kissing me like she had never before. It was always light and "friendly" kisses before, but this was more passionate, it was like I was kissing Colin, her tongue darting in and out and she grabbed my taffeta covered behind and caressed it. I was stunned and after she broke it off, she grabbed my hands and lead me to the bedroom, when she turned on the lights, lying on either side of the bed was matching white lingerie. She then kissed me hard again and said, "tonight my dear, we are going to consummate our girl-girl relationship, Lesbian one if you will, slip into your lingerie and I will see you back here." I turned around and she unzipped my dress and I was so excited as I slipped into the white lingerie and made sure that my dress was hung up alight. I fixed my lipstick and went back to the bedroom and found my girlfriend already in her lingerie and smiling back at me with her lips freshly fixed up as well. To keep this story a "G" rating, I cannot tell you what happened, but it was the most incredible night of sex we have ever had, it was around 3:30am in the morning when we fell asleep in each others arms wearing our white lingerie...
