Let's Talk Wedding: Shoes

Of course I just had to have THE perfect shoes (at least perfect for me) for our wedding!!!! I was torn between going with the trend or sticking to traditional. Here were the ideas that I really liked: At a trip to David's Bridal for the little girls' dresses, Michelle, my mom and I saw these beautiful "Chinese Laundry" cream heels! I thought they were perfect!!! So I immediately went online and bought them! They came in and I walked around in them and prepped them for the big day. As time went by, I still kept going back to the trend of wearing a fantastic colored heel with matching jewelry. I couldn't keep my mind off it. So my hunt for purple heels was on! I finally found the perfect pair and bought them as well! I hadn't TRULY made up my mind as to which pair I was going to wear, but I had them both and could decide later.

While at an OSU Cowboys football game, I came across some FABULOUS cowboy boots!!!! They were amazing!!! Orange and black!!! My favorite colors! :) I bought them with some birthday money and knew I would wear them at the reception! Ken would LOVE it!!!!
The battle of the Cream-Traditional vs the Purple-Trendy was still going on. I had to make a decision. Once I had decided to take the majority of our pictures downtown before the wedding, I thought I could wear the purple for our "trendy" photo-journalistic pictures, and then I could switch the the cream heels for the "traditional" formal photos at the church and for the wedding. It was perfect! And, yes, I wore three different pairs of shoes on my wedding day! Make fun all you want, but shoes are my thing and I wore them proudly!!! Besides...it was my day and I only get to do it once!!! :)

Oh I'm totally making fun!!!! But only because I own less than 10 pairs of shoes and love you so dearly. Actually, I'm so glad you got to do what made you happy! Plus I totally think we could spiritualize it; give it some "walking in the Trinity" twist that would really make for a better story. Hehe!

Beth -- I ABSOLUTELY adore that you wore 3 pairs of shoes on your wedding day and wish I could've done the same thing! I cleaned out my shoes last week, it was ridiculous, it really was. If I was single I think I would have more $$ in my sheos than in my bank account :)
