I awoke early and went into my morning routine preparing for my jog. By the time I had returned Sam was already up and having breakfast. After stretching a bit I came in and joined him. Looking at the clock he said we would have to leave in a couple of hours if I was to make my appointment in the basin LA basin area due to traffic. I agreed and went to cleanse and prepare myself for the day.

Since I already had my things packed and had made my selections for today from the night before, I was just about ready to make my initial transformation for todays event. After showering and epilating I refixed my breasts, and thigh pads. I then attached the catheter to my penis and tapped it all in place. Having finished that I dressed in a casual tank top, shorts and mules.

Once dressed I left the bedroom and sat down for a quick breakfast of muesli and tea. Sam bless his heart packed the car of all the items I had laid out and moved them to the car. By the time I had cleaned up the kitchen after my breakfast Sam came in and asked if I was ready to go.

Telling him that I just needed a moment, I went back into the bedroom made one more quick check for everything that I needed, then rechecked my bag. Once satisfied I walked out of the house and locked the door between the house and garage, since Sam was already at the car. Before getting in the car I scanned the backseat to ensure all of for the items that I had laid out had made it to the car. Seeing that they did got in and Sam and I were off.

On the drive to the salon Sam gave me the lowdown on his cousin Edwardo and Camila. We also went over my cover story again so we both wouldn’t be caught with some faux pas comment. Traffic was lighter than usual so we arrived at the Salon 15 minutes before my appointment.

The salon had a boutique out front for transgendered women and rooms in the back where they did the makeovers. Since I was early, I walked in and started browsing some of the wig selections along with the clothing racks. While I was looking at some of the wig styles that were on display Renae the owner of the shop came out as I was browsing and asked, “Would you care for some help? Are you looking for something in particular for someone special?

Replying, “No just browsing at the moment.”

She then said after looking at me thoughtfully as I examined some of the wigs, “Although this store caters to the transgendered, I am sure that if you find something that you like, we should be able to help you. A lot of the sizes though are for larger for males so they might not meet your needs but we can always order something in.”

It took me a moment before I realized that she had taken me for a genetic woman and I almost burst out laughing but held it in and smiled and said, “Renae I am really flattered by the compliment but it is me Barbara who has an appointment for a makeover.”

Renae looked at me with astonishment grabbed and hugged me and said, “Barbra it has been sometime since I saw you, your voice, your mannerism, your look, have you transitioned?’

I replied, “Sorry same old crossdressing me. Maybe a bit more educated by you, but still me.”

“Well,” she said pausing, “If you already look this good, you are going to look fantastic once I or one of other girls finish with you. Come on back there is a chair already waiting for you.”

With that she took me back to the makeup room and left me in capable hands of Donna one of her makeup techs. She asked me about the look that I was after and I told her that I was attending the wedding as a date and she again looked me over and told me she had the perfect idea of what to do. She then asked. “Is this your real hair or a wig?”

I replied. “a real hair wig and that I would like to have it secured with glue and tape once you have gotten to replacing it.”

“That will be easy,” she said as she removed the wig and handed it over to Renae who was observing from the side.

Renae then said, “I will handle this with care and I have just the style that will add glamour to your look. You don’t a few small curls I hope?”

Thinking about it for a moment I told her, “No not at all. I think that they would look adorable.”

With that Donna started cleansing and prepping my face while making small talk. I really couldn’t reply too much since she was working on my face and needed for me to have it relaxed. We did do a bit of girl talk while she was doing my eyes though and the whole experience was awesome. Donna did take a few extra moments with my eyebrows and eyelashes giving me false eyelashes but overall, she tried to keep the makeup as light as possible while emphasizing any female feature, I had.

Donna had just finished with my makeup when Renae returned with my wig properly styled. She set my wig cap in place and then she expertly attached it with a bit of glue and tape. She then purposefully placed a few clips that could not be seen. When I saw the overall look, I was overwhelmed with what they had done.

Seeing the time, I texted Sam that I was ready and then paid Renae for the services rendered. As always, Renae gave me a small trinket (delicate bracelet).to remember my time there. Just as I was finishing up with my goodbyes and thankyou’s I saw Sam drive up out in front. I could tell by Sam’s eyes that I made a very positive impression on him as I got into the car. His only comment was, “and I thought you looked lovely earlier, this is just stunning.”

That comment was enough to give me the confidence to meet Sam’s cousins. The ride to their place was only about 15 minutes. During that time though I did have some minor doubts about my appearance but kept up the smiling face so as not to disturb Sam. Sam had already told me that me that my bag and dress was already in the spare bedroom and he led me into the house.

Camila was at the door waiting for us as we walked up. She looked at me for a moment and my heart skipped a beat then she said, “you look absolutely amazing dear, you will need to let me know who your stylist is. I definitely will need to visit them.”

She then hugged me and said, “you will need to get ready as we will have to leave in about an hour. I have you set up in the bedroom next to the bathroom. Feel free to fully utilize it as the guys will be occupied in the far guest room while I get ready in our bedroom. Yell out if you need anything.”. With that she was off to get herself ready.

Seeing the bathroom, I first headed there to freshen up a bit and check my prosthetics, I then headed for to change. Taking great care as not to mess up my makeup I stripped out of my casual wear and got my underwear, garter belt, stockings and cincher on. Since the dress was a bit shear I wore a camisole under the dress. Getting the dress on took a bit of planning but I was able to slip into it without much difficulty. I did have a problem with the back zipper though and hearing Sam’s voice I opened up the door to the room and said, “Sam could you be a dear and assist me with my back zipper?”

No sooner had I asked then he appeared at the door and I presented my back and zipper to him. Feeling his hands on my waist and back sent a little shock of thrill through me. It only took a moment and he was done but he paused a moment to look me over. Turning toward him I smiled and while waving him off I said, “Off with you I still need to finish up and you are distracting me.”

With that Sam was off to change as he had waited for his cousin to finish using the room first. I then finished dressing and walked out to the lounge room where Camila and Edwardo were. Camila’s transformation was stunning. As an older woman I thought that she would not put that much effort into preparing but I was wrong. She had done up her hair and makeup and was wearing a purple floral dress that made look years younger. I sat down across from her and complimented her on her outfit and appearance. She returned the compliment and we sat there and chatted like old friends. Edwardo seemed a bit oblivious to us and got up to check on Sam.

Sam found his way out to the lounge room where Camila and I were and Edwardo soon followed. As it was still early Camila offered a round of refreshments before we were to go. I offered to help her and the offer was graciously accepted. In the mean time Sam gathered up our belongings and put them in his car. I carried out a tray of glasses, ice and tea while Camila brought out some light snacks. Sam returned shortly and took a seat next to me. We sat and chatted about the wedding and before long it was time to leave for the wedding.

Since we were not returning to his cousins Sam and I left in his car. Before getting in he took the time to give me the once over and said, “you are just as beautiful as the bride, I am sure of it.”

I blushed a bit and thanked him for his compliment. It didn’t take us long to reach the church where the ceremony was being held and we found our seats. I noticed that Sam’s daughter was seated a couple of rows ahead of us and gave me the once over before the ceremony began.

The wedding ceremony was the typical affair so I won’t go into that. But I must say that I felt a bit different presenting myself as a woman during this ceremony than the ones that I had attended in the past. I felt more in tune watching the bride and the brides’ maids walk down the aisle and the feeling presentation that they had.

After the ceremony we left for the reception that was at a local resort about 15 minutes away. There was ample parking so Sam and I did have to walk very far to enter the main reception room. We found our names “Sam and Guest” and we saw to our delight that we were already pared with Edwardo and Camila at the table along with some of Sam’s other relatives. Fortunately Sam’s daughter and family had a different table a bit away from us.

Camila and I started a conversation that then included most of the other women around the table. I felt completely at ease talking on different subjects as my past (keeping to our script), the family that was around and a bit of family gossip. Sam and the other guys at the table went to pick up some drinks for us and while he was gone Camila came out and sort of indirectly asked me in a roundabout way what my relationship with Sam was. I went through exactly what we had a deep friendship built on mutual support and that he was helping me for the moment while I was in town.

I stated, “Sam is a dear friend and fortunately he has helped my brother and I in the past and I really want to help him in any way I can.”

Camila then asked trying to ferret out if I had any intentions with Sam, “with you being recently divorced are you looking around for someone?”

Seeing the question for what it was I answered, “My past relationship was spoiled because he didn’t want a family. If I do start looking again, I am still young enough to have children, so I would have to be with someone who was also looking at starting a family. At the moment though, I am relishing my independence away from any man and I would like to keep it that way.”

With that the ladies seemed to nod in agreement and I got a bit of a smile from Camila. She did comment to me that she appreciated the way that I was attentive to Sam since it seems to have brought him out of his gloom that he was in. I thanked her and reassured her that I was trying to comfort him when I saw that he was down. I then added, “I play the mother duck sometimes to get him to feel better.”

One of the other ladies added, “for Sam with his big heart you really have to play the mother goose.” We all giggled at that.

The wedding went on in a customary fashion, and I didn’t drink a whole lot and made sure that I watched Sam on how much he was drinking. Just after dinner and while the dancing was just beginning, I felt the need to use the facilities. I told Sam that I needed to freshen up and took leave from the table. With women’s restrooms there is always a line and the nearest one had one. Not really feeling that I wanted to converse in small talk while in line I left the main reception area and down the hallway found a lady’s room that only had one other woman waiting.

Just as I was walking over a woman left the restroom and the lady waiting quickly went in. I only had to wait for a minute or two for the next occupant to leave. Entering I saw one lady at the mirror who paid me little attention as I took one of the open stalls. Upon closing the door to the stall, I saw that there was a hook on the wall right above the toilet paper where I could hang my bag while I relieved myself.

Pulling up my dress and pulling down my panties I sat and began relieving the pressure from my bladder. I was glad that I had taken time to use the catheter since I kept me fairly clean unlike when I used to just tape. As I was just wiping I heard the outer door open and Camila’s voice.

I also recognized the other voice as belonging to Sam’s daughter. Deciding not to disturb them, I paused and just stayed quite in the stall. It appeared that the other stalls were empty and they quickly took them. I thought about making a run for it but decided to stay put for the moment.

In the stall next to mine I heard Sam’s daughter voice give a bit of anguish as she said, “Dam I started early I don’t have a pad, and I am going to ruin this dress.”

Remembering that I always carried extra thin pads for my own extra taping if needed, I reached inside my bag and deftly pulled out one and slide it to her in the next stall. Pamela seeing it slide under the divider quickly picked it up and said, “Thanks”

It the lightest voice I could I replied, “Sure, anytime.”

Pamela and Camila, didn’t take long to finish their business and I decided to stay put for the moment. As they were leaving, I heard Camila say to Pamela, “Pam I checked her out she is just trying to help your dad, she has other fish to fry.”

I then heard Pamela reply, “Well anyway I am keeping a close eye on her to make sure she just isn’t a little tarty gold digger.”

Once they had left, I completed fixing myself up and checked myself at the mirror. While I was doing that another woman entered smiled and took the first open stall. I exited and waited a brief moment and came back by the other lady’s room that still had a line. As I took my seat I mentioned the fact that there was a bit of a line at the lady’s room. Camila replied that I should have tried the one further down the hall nearer the lobby as it was practically empty.

The rest of the wedding was fairly typical and I was asked to dance by all of the gentlemen at the table. One other older distinguished gentleman came from another table and asked me to join him. As I was getting up I heard Camila whisper to me, “watch it old Paul is a lecherous old bastard.”

I replied, “Thanks for the warning.”

While dancing true to Camila’s word Paul’s hand drifted to me derriere. At first it was a bit of a shock then it was almost intoxicating as I felt his hands wonder there. Remembering where I was though I pulled his hands back to my waist. We danced a couple of dances and I thanked him for the dances at which he pulled me close by grabbing my bum and trying to kiss me. I could feel his arousal as he pushed himself into me, but having my hands in front of me I was able to push off his chest, smiled and said, “really I don’t want you to get arrested for child endangerment.”

With that I could feel that he was a bit deflated as he walked me back to the table.

Camila then said, “nicely done Barb, I told you he was a lech.”

The rest of the evening went on and I was able to get Sam out on the dance floor a couple of times. Knowing that Pamela was watching I made sure that I kept respectful distance from Sam. As the bride was getting ready to throw the bouquet Camila and the other women chided me to get out there with the other available women. Either it was their chiding or the drink that I had I did go out but fortunately one of the younger more eager maidens grabbed the bouquet just before it reached me.

Seeing that same was looking a bit less than functional I took the keys from him, as we said goodnight to all. Shortly after we drove off from the reception area, I could hear Sam snore. Traffic was light and we were home in about an hour. I hated to wake Sam but I wasn’t about to try to drag his body out of the car to bed. After a few prods though he was awake enough to move to the door and I emptied the car while he unlocked and reset the alarm.

As we were both tired, we both headed for our respective rooms and went to bed.
