So, I am having an outdoor ceremony and I have no intention of wearing flat shoes. I am buying "solemates" to try to avoid sinkage, but I also thought about getting a carpet aisle runner. Those flimsy fabric ones aren't so great for outdoor ceremonies.
So, these carpeted things aren't cheap. I found one the sears website and it was 3' x 25' ... for about $130.00 (see link). I was also going to buy a 10' one so we could stand on it during the ceremony... which was about $80.00. So, I was already going to have to spend $200.00 to get what I want!
Fast forwared... this weekend, we go over to the venue to measure the space and make sure 25' will be long enough... and we totally redesign where we are going to have the ceremony. It's going to have a much more beautiful background, and will be further away from the parking area... but, now, I have to walk across 64' of grass and then up 25' of aisle! And, I still need the 10' for us to stand on ! They only have up to a 50 foot runner and its $230.00! That's over $400.00 just in CARPET! Carpet that I will never use again!
Blah. I am not sure what to do at this point. I thought about just buying that crappy plastic off the roll at home depot, so I have something to walk on... but, all I need is to slip on that stuff. I'm at a loss !
EDIT: to include original link of the sears carpet I was/am maybe still planning on using.
