CHAPTER SEVEN

The Wedding

TRANSVESTIA

The next weeks seemed to take an age to pass but at last the great day arrived. They were to be married in the afternoon. As Janet began dress- ing the events of the last weeks passed through her mind. They had de- cided to sell Janet's house in London and find a place with more privacy and seclusion and also to get away from some inquisitive neighbors.

They had found their ideal in Kent just thirty miles southwest of the city. It was large enough for entertaining and to house Bobbie's cook and housekeeper. There were also two studies, one where Bobbie could write without interference and the other for Janet in her new role of sec- retary and literary agent. Overall it was situated in large grounds and offered complete privacy.

The trousseau had been a further delight for Janet. She had searched every shop in London for the clothes she required for the honeymoon and with delight had also agreed to buy Bobbies at the same time. So with that and searching the antique shops for furnishings for the house, which was now ready to move into, it had been a very busy six weeks.

It was a beautiful day and she knew the wedding would be the same. The minister was one of the members of F.P.E. and had agreed to hold a private ceremony at his small church. His only object was that he could not wear a dress during the ceremony. Janet had bought him a delight- ful set of silk underwear (a slip and pantie set in pale blue) and was in- sistent that at least this would be worn.

A lifelong friend of Robin's had suggested that the wedding would not be complete without flower girls and page boys and he suggested that his twin sons and daughters perform the function. They were eleven and ten years old respectively. As appropriate to the occasion the boys would be flower girls and the girls the page boys.

Her musings were stopped by the arrival of the "Matron of Honor" in the form of Robyna. He had taken very little persuasion to fill the role. Bobby had had a problem finding a “Best Man" as mostof the guests belonged to F.P.E. (Those that didn't were sworn to secrecy and could be trusted) and preferred to go gowned to the wedding, but Richard had finally agreed to carry out these functions.
