Cross-dressing man walks down the aisle wearing a similar wedding dress as his bride
An unusual couple recently tied the knot with the groom wearing the exact same wedding dress as his bride. Fifty three-year-old cross-dresser Ian Newman from East Dulwich in south London, stayed true to himself on the happiest day of his life and got married in a wedding gown.
His bride, Emma Sparre-Newman, walked down the aisle and met her man at the altar wearing an identical dress. Ian opted for the same 50s-style strapless gown as 51-year-old Emma and the couple even went to buy their dresses together.
Emma told The Daily Mail: "Over the last two years, Ian has dressed almost exclusively in women's clothing. It would actually be odd to see him in jeans and a t-shirt as it's just not him. So when we discussed marriage, I expected that we would both wear a dress. But we have very different ideas about style so I didn't imagine we'd ever wear the same outfit. I'm not precious about it, it's a dress and actually, it's our wedding, it's not mine."
