Cinnamon and Spikes

Untitled Part 86

Julie's wedding dress would mix his Jewish faith with his Filipino culture.

Long butterfly sleeves, a contouring neckline with a removable high neckline.

He couldn't get pineapple fabric or anything woven but still.

He had his idea for his dress changed to add his Filipino culture in it.

There will be a candle lighting, a coin blessing and a veiling.

But there won't be any of the marriage signing that is in most Jewish wedding.

The dress idea he had couldn't be made so he was sad about it until he thought about something.

He was able to get the long sleeves he wanted and the contouring neckline..

He's a guy but he wants to wear a wedding dress.

Someone had the nerve to ask him he was wearing a suit to his wedding.

"No . "Said Julie.

Somehow one of his paternal uncles took him to look for suits.

He kept going on and on about how Julie needs to start dressing like a man.

He also said that Julie needs a haircut.

"There's no one way to dress like a man, your idea of how men dress is outdated I'm not wearing a suit to my wedding I have never wore a suit, that doesn't stop me from being a man. "Said Julie.

Then Julie said "I know a lot of you and Auntie Maya assume I'm trans, I'm not a trans, I'm always going to be a guy I just like dressing the way I dress and you guys need to deal with it or you're not invited. " 

They left and Julie found out that the dress he wanted was gone.

He was so upset right now but then he remembered thrifting.

Thrifting and confinement stores are were he finds most of his clothes.

He went to one and found a dress that was perfect.

Long sleeved, a not too high neckline, long big skirt and it was red.

He has his veil, his shoes and dress .

He just needs get the dress fitted and tailored to fit him. 

He kept that stuff in another room he doesn't believe in all of that the couple can't see each other outfits but after the week he had he's not chancing anything.

Jess planned on wearing a red suit inspired by a Tang suit- the suit will have a dragon on it.

He also planed on wearing dress shoes- something he doesn't like to do.

The style of suit he's wearing looks like those suits you see men wearing at black Baptist churches- his mother's side is Baptist.

The style and design is a mixture of his two cultures.

Lucky for him Sage has a friend who makes wedding suits who was able to make a suit for him- that friend was invited to the wedding.

He's wearing his hair in his normal hairstyle.

Meanwhile Julie's wearing his hair half up and half down.

He also thrifted his groomsman suits and outfits.

Julie is great at finding a good find at a thrift shop.

He's a master at thrifting  the only person he knows who could beat him in thrifting is Kora.

The invitations were peach and pink with flowers and a lot of glitter also the lettering was easy on the eyes-and also they added braille to the invitation for anyone who blind or partly.

There weren't any blind guest sadly but one guess who's partly.

Jess and Julie also wrote down their vows on some booklet so that any deaf or hard of hearing family members can follow along.

Julie also practiced signing his vows if Jess goes mute.

Jess has also practiced it as well in case he goes mute.

When the big day arrived.

"Julie hold still. "Said Sage.

Sage already agreed to do his makeup and hair for him.

At first the couple said no but then he said "Think of it as my wedding gift to Julie."

So now he was doing his makeup and hair.
