Transvestite dresses as bride and groom for wedding

Transvestite Ian Platt dressed as both the bride and groom at his Leeds wedding. The 51-year old wanted to keep his new in-laws happy so he sported his dark grey morning suit after tying the knot as Ian with fiancee Lisa, 42.

But after Lisa's close relatives left after the nuptials, Ian put on a white wedding dress and blonde wig to cut the cake as "Susan".

Transvestite customer care adviser Ian swapped roles for his nuptials after getting down on one knee and proposing to medical secretary Lisa.



He sported morning wear for the registry office ceremony in accordance with tradition as Lisa's proud father walked her down the aisle and her mother and elderly relatives look on. But just before guests arrived at the reception to tuck into a buffet at a nearby hotel Ian nipped home and put on a white bridal gown he had bought on Ebay.

Their one hundred guests roared with approval as the two "brides" cut their two wedding cakes - one saying "Ian and Lisa" and the other saying "Susan and Lisa."

The newlyweds also had their first dance as "brides" and gave speeches thanking family and friends before jointly throwing a lucky bouquet over the heads towards their pals. Lisa, of Leeds, West Yorks, said: "Some people might not understand our relationship, but it works perfectly for us."
