Zomg, I'd forgotten about that Mery BS. I especially loved the part where she questioned how someone could claim flip flops didnt give someone problems but hard flats did. Posted by StageManager14[/QUOTE]

Was it her who also posted something like "Ever heard of Dr. Scholls?!" because I flame that person... I have odd shaped feet thank you calcium deposits and inserts like that make it worse for me. Flip flops are about the only thing that DON'T hurt my feet.

I loved Girlie's response to Mery.

I guess I don't get why, in that thread, most people were givng the impression there were only two types of shoes available: painful heels and flip flops. There are other alternatives. While I think Mery's delivery was ridiculous, I understand the point she was trying to make.

I never see Mery post anymore. Does she still come around?

Girlie1030

One and the same KB.

On the flip flops one, I flame MsRoxstar or whatever her name is for even starting that thread about dictating her bp not wear flip flops.  I'll probably get flamed for this, but I also flame Eagles in that same thread.  I get not liking going barefoot/other people going barefoot, but calling it cheap and common was a bit of a stretch, I think.

I guess I just fail to see what the BFD is if someone decides to wear flip flops to a wedding... I wouldn't ever wear them to a ceremony, but I've almost always changed into them at receptions. I mean, really, do people have nothing better to do at a reception than to focus on the footwear of other people?

<div>In a free society, I think the government should have to justify why something should be illegal, not why something should be legal. Does that make sense?</div>

KB - You need a pair of birkenstocks.  I my birks. 

I have lots of cute flats, because I am a shoe-aholic.  I also know lots of people who have like two pairs of shoes because they are not shoe-aholics.  Different strokes for different folks. 

musicalsunlight

I totally agree, special.

Megbo2012

Yeah I didn't like the barefoot thing either. Probably because I wore flats as my wedding shoes and didn't have anything else. After running through the fields of green in my flats (not my Nike running flats...usual weapons of choice) I got some blisters that were pretty uncomfortable. Rather than suffer or throw on my Nike frees I kicked them off. Oh well. I guess I'm common and cheap.

JessAndTrav

I just went back and reread the CLICKY flip-flop thread, and yeah...that was condescending to say the least.

I was wearing flats in DC last summer, and I bought some inserts for better support, and they were useless, and they were Dr. Scholls.

I wore a pair of TOMS at our reception, but I probably would have done flip flops if I didn't have those because who is looking at my feet? Nobody.

Habs2Hart

I would be pissed if my BM's wanted to wear flip flops to my wedding, but my wedding was more formal.  If it was a casual beach wedding, I wouldn't care as much, but there are lots of options for sandals that aren't flip flops. 

specialk84

UO: I hate flip flops at weddings, and I really hate bare feet in public. I'm not necessarily going to think you're an asshole for doing it, but I'm going to notice it.

ETA: I also think that as an adult, you should be responsible enough to pick out shoes that can last your for the duration of a particular social event. If one pair isn't going to do it, bring an appropriate back-up pair. I suppose I just don't get why a grown woman shows up to a wedding in heels, then acts surprised when her feet hurt. 

baystateapple

ITA with the Dr. Scholls comment being condescending.

I am barefoot from the minute spring starts until it gets too cold to be.  I don't go barefoot in public, but I never wear shoes outside in my yard.

ETA: Unless you are wearing a pair of fabulous shoes, I am never going to notice what (if anything) is on your feet.

JessAndTrav

I choose to avoid being barefoot in public at all costs because it's really gross to me, and while I wish that people felt the same way, I know they don't, so I don't judge, because at a wedding with the dancing, your feet hurt. I get that.

But why do your BMs shoes for the reception even matter?

Habs2Hart

Oh, for the ceremony.  Sorry, I haven't read the thread.  My sister changed into moccasins and put on a plaid shirt over her dress for our reception.  I didn't care. 

ahhhitsshannyn

I don't care if people are barefoot at home or in their own yards. I do think it's really stupid for people to wear really uncomfortable heels for an hour and then kick them off in public because they are too uncomfortable. Find some fucking shoes that you can wear all day like a normal person. I don't get why receptions are just the place to kick off your shoes. You wouldn't do that in a club, would you? Dear God I hope not.

What is wrong with people? I just wrote a bunch of TY notes to people in my church for providing food after my grandmother passed away, and I can't imagine writing something like this:

"Thank you so much for making us your delicious enchiladas. Although it gave me the shits for days, we really appreciate your generosity."

You say thank you no matter what and leave out the extra details.

I got some really heinous items for wedding gifts, and I managed to thank people.

MyUserName1

As Jenna Marbles says, you make a pact with your shoes for the night.

Although, I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I took of my shoes for a little while during my reception.  But that was because I stepped in a puddle and they were gross and needed to dry.

KellyBrian2013

Like I said before, I just don't see what the BFD is. But that's me. Also, any shoes I would wear to a club are not wedding appropriate AND I wouldn't be expected to be in them from 5 PM to midnight like I would a pair of shoes for a wedding.

Girlie1030

I went from nearly 5" heels, which were surprisingly comfortable to flip flops at my reception but that was strictly because me + high heels + champagne + dancing = broken ankle.

When I tested my wedding flats I didn't run around in them. That was a complete spur of the moment thing, and my feet were cut up after that. So yeah, I didn't plan for a second pair because they were comfortable before I did that.

But I don't know why I'm justifying my decision here, because it was one hour of my freaking reception after the "magic hour" shoot which included the running thing. If you want to judge me or say I'm classless because of it, go right ahead.

Loved that one :) Doin' it wrong, I know. I haven't been around enough to flame anyone.

gurrlballa10

I totally get the gross factor of barefeet in public, but I just thought calling it common and cheap was a bit much.  I mean, I don't care one way or another if someone wants to be barefoot.  Hell, I was at the wedding I went to this past weekend (bride bought our shoes, and my flip flops were locked in her room).  As opposed to me sitting all night because the shoes weren't broken in, I took them off.  As did every other bm.

specialk84

My niece was a BM, and at the time, she was 12. Her mother's only responsibility was getting a bra and a pair of shoes for the kid, and she had been warned that it would be a long day with pictures in a field and such.

She bought the kid some ridiculous hooker heels. Niece could barely walk in them, and her mom wouldn't buy other ones. As soon as I saw Niece attempting to navigate in them, I asked my MOH to go buy the kid some silver flip flops. She ended up wearing them for pictures and the reception, but she wanted to wear the heels for the ceremony.

ETA: Shitt happens. I don't think everyone who wears inappropriate (or no) footwear at any point during a wedding is a scumbag.
