My boyfriend’s wedding dress unveiled my own shortcomings over masculinity

Emily Halnon’s boyfriend in his dress: ‘I’ve found the one!’ he proclaimed when he bought it. Photograph: Emily Halnon My gaze scanned the colorful racks of clothing and stopped abruptly on something I’d never expected to see: my boyfriend was clutching a wedding dress – that he wanted to buy for himself.

“Emily!” he cried with victorious glee. “I’ve found the one!”

Ian thrust the white garment into the air like a Nascar trophy. Its lace sleeves sashayed from the tapered bodice and fluffy tulle grazed the dirty tiles of the thrift store floor.

Uh, Emily. This is a pretty good sign that your new husband is gay.

If the groom is wearing a dress, she might want to rethink the whole thing.

The girl’s sanity makes one last desperate attempt to cry out before being smothered.

There is no depth below which the Guardian will not go.

And always remember that their science is even worse than their morals.

Unless it’s a kilt, men don’t need to be wearing dresses.

After reading the article I think HE needs to rethink the whole thing. The girl is a loon.

Emily and Ian are walking, talking, breathing arguments for arranged marriages, and against modernity in general.

Hopefully corona ends all creatures such as these.

I agree, I think the guy has decided that Emily isn’t for him.

In the entire history of mankind, the two words “boyfriend’s” and “dress” have never been placed side by side.

Today, we are treated to the image of a boy clutching his wedding dress, and the words “bodice,” “sashayed,” “glee,” and “fluffy tulle” are bandied about.

What the hell is a “bodice”? a “tulle”?

Next they’ll be saying that the boyfriend is having his period.

That handbasket is descending rapidly, and I can feel the heat and smell the sulphur.
