A reader asks: “I’ve been dating this girl for a really long time and have been thinking about proposing. The thing is, she is a very masculine lesbian and tends to lean more towards guys style. I know she would much rather like a more masculine ring, but her ring size is 5.5 and I(…)
*Photos by John Larkin Photography Crista and Lauren met through a mutual friend at Smith College. They first spotted each other in the BBQ line during lunch and haven’t been able to get enough of each other ever since! Crista proposed to Lauren in the Versailles Gardens in Paris, France.

The million dollar question: What should I wear to a wedding? We get it all the time from brides and grooms to be, wedding party participants, and wedding guests. As I mentioned in “Queering Your Wedding Wardrobe,” the good news is that there has been a trend in menswear toward more casual, creative wedding attire,(…)
Here at dapperQ, we get hundreds of reader inquiries regarding wedding attire. While it’s easy for us to write about options, I personally prefer to give you real world visual examples of what other dapperQs are wearing to weddings.

Turns out that one of my new favorite lesbian/queer wedding inspiration blogs, A Bicycle Built for Two, is run by Tracey Beal, a stunning 30-something Brooklyn wife who was married to Angela Beal last year.
