My story is true. I want to thank volunteer editor Jessica Smith for her tremendous help in editing the story.
Here is how my wife became a stripper. My Wife's cousin, Sherri, was one of her best friends. Sherri was getting married on Saturday which we were both excited about. Steve, Sherri's fiancΓ© is a very good guy which is why we socialize with them so often. He already invited me to his bachelor party which would be on the Thursday before the wedding. Sherri called and said the dancer for the bachelor party canceled at the last minute, which was bad news already, but they couldn't find a replacement.
Sherri and Steve would be humiliated if there was no dancer since, according to them, no bachelor party was complete without one. Sherri has always been very socially conscious, even back in high school when my wife and Sherri would throw parties, it had to be perfect. That is essentially true. Sherri begged My wife, Melanie, to be the dancer.
Sherri said Melanie was the only person they knew who could pull it off because of her good body and the fact she saw was a dancer and cheerleader in high school. She said they were desperate and would be eternally grateful and in our debt. They would cut the party to about 10 people or so. Melanie said she feels intense pressure to do it since Sherri has always been good to her.
I told her I didn't want her to do it. She said she didn't want to either but she felt she had no choice. Sherri was there for her when she had major emotional problems before we met. I told her she could say no. It's not easy was her reply.
I decided I would go to the local strip club outside of town and talk to the manager about getting a dancer. That would cure the problem. My wife agreed.
I couldn't let my wife be some stripper at a party, just because there were no other people to fit the bill. I went to the local strip club outside of town and talked to the manager about getting a dancer. I figured that would fix the problem. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a dancer. The manager, a burly guy named Joe, was very nice but said I should have been here two weeks ago.
A couple of day's notice would not work since the distance is about 30 miles away and he would have to do a background check not only on Steve but on me as well. Besides that, his girls are all working at the club or are already booked for that evening. He doubted I would find anyone at this late date. I offered to pay double the going rate to no avail.
I called Melanie and told her what Joe said. She thanked me for trying. She said she was not totally surprised. I tried to talk her out of dancing again but she cut me off and said the matter is settled. She said she needs to prepare, do research, and get into the proper mindset. She told me not to be a negative influence on her and then she hung up.
When I got home I told Melanie I would not go to the bachelor party. I didn't want to watch all the guys stare at her undressed. Especially because we both knew more than half of the people who would be attending. Consequently, most of the audience would not be strangers. She said absolutely not, I had to go or people would wonder why I wasn't there. She told me I needed to seem supportive. Melanie demanded I go there for the dinner but said that I could leave after her first dance.
She promised she wouldn't start stripping until after the first song, which would be when I would take my leave. I could tell that my distaste for what she was choosing to do would make stripping more uncomfortable for her, To keep the peace with her, I agreed to attend. There was nothing more I could do. The party would start with dinner and drinks tomorrow at 6 pm. Melanie is supposed to start dancing at around 8 pm. The dancer is usually there for about an hour and a half with a break or two. I am not looking forward to tomorrow.
The next day Sherri came by and picked Melanie up at 4 pm. She brought her small travel bag with her sexy outfit for tonight and her makeup bag. They went out for dinner and drinks before the party.
Melanie told me she searched the Internet for tips on how to do a striptease. What she found said to wear heavier makeup, make eye contact with the audience, wear sexy clothes, and 4-6 inch high heels. The next thought made my blood boil, it said that her clothes should be easy to remove.
She also watched several hours of striptease videos she found on the internet and practiced in front of the bedroom mirror. Melanie was afraid she might make a fool of herself. She did not want to seem unprepared and untalented. I said I don't want you to do this but you definitely won't make a fool of yourself. You will make their night. She kissed me goodbye and left after she said I better be there!
It was a little after 6 when I got there. People were already eating from the Mexican Buffett and drinking. I grabbed a beer since I was not hungry. I was just waiting for Melanie to start her act so I could leave. I was not having fun but put on a good face so nobody could tell how conflicted I was inside. I tried to be social but all I saw were the guys who are going to see my wife's gorgeous body. I wanted to get out of there. Plus there were more men there than we were told. There was clearly more than the ten that Sherri mentioned.
Paul, the best man, told me what the plan was to get things set for Melanie to dance. At that point, only Steve, Rick, Paul and I knew Melanie was the dancer. Melanie got there about 7:15 and went straight to the back door as instructed. They did not want anyone to see her before she came out to dance. Rick, Steve's cousin and groomsman, and I had to wait for her as planned and showed her to the room to change. Rick asked her what she would wear? She said a black mini skirt, black bra and low cut black panties, black fishnet thigh high stockings, 4 inch black high heels, and a short black semi-transparent top that showed her flat stomach.
Rick said how hot that was and told her that she would do great. We waited outside the door while she changed and put on the outfit and makeup. He told her when she was ready to be introduced to the group to knock on the door and he would have Paul make her introduction. Melanie gave Rick a CD with Disco and other appropriate music to play for her performance. After 10 minutes Rick had me go back with everyone else to wait. He wanted me with the group when Melanie was introduced, as it demonstrated my approval. As I waited for what was in reality 20 minutes for Melanie to be introduced it seemed likes hours before it started.
About 7:55 Rick waives to Paul to begin. Rick turns down the lights slightly at Melanie's request. Paul spoke like a boxing announcer for the main event. His deep voice was loud and strong with a lot of emphasis and enthusiasm. Everyone paid attention, it actually was pretty cool. Paul made this announcement:
"And now the moment we have all waiting for. The entertainment. As you know our good buddy Steve is getting married Saturday and this is the last chance he will ever have to see a naked woman that isn't his wife. We want this to be a night for all to remember. We didn't settle for an average dancer for Steve. Ohhhh no... We wanted someone special. Someone that would knock our socks off and drive Steve wild. We think we not only met but exceeded our goal. You will all be thrilled. We all know how close Steve and Jack are." Paul said as he pointed at me. "To make tonight special Jack has graciously allowed his wife Melanie to be our dancer and entertainment."
Everyone howled and clapped as they looked at me. People slapped me on the back, shook my hand, and thanked me for this is an amazing gift! No one knew just how displeased I was. I played along. What choice did I have? I felt sick to my stomach. Paul went on to tell the DJ to start the music that would have signaled to Melanie it was time to come out. As soon as the music started everyone cheered and yelled out clearly excited. The song was some sort of fast disco, I think it was Freak Out, that played. People clapped, cheered, and went nuts. Melanie did not come out for almost a full minute or more. The guys started to chant
"Melanie Melanie."
