the prince & the peanut

i was wondering if i could get a few suggestions......

the issue is that my fiance is 6'6" and i am only 5'2.5" (such a dramatic difference in size!!). what would y'all suggest i do/wear to help us look somewhat normal, especially in pictures? has anyone ever worn 5" heels with their wedding dress (without dying)?

thanks!

  • the photographer can placec you slightly in front of him to make it look like yall are the same height or also you could just put on 5' inch heels for pictures and take them off
  • You could possibly stand on a fruit crate or other box for pictures.  But honestly, he's going to be significantly taller than you in every picture you take together for the rest of your life.  Unless you want to be carrying around that fruit crate forever, it's something you'll just have to get used to.  (And I know whereof I speak, FI is nearly a foot taller than me.)
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • I don't see how you wouldn't look "normal" ... people know that there's a height difference between the two of you. Why is that a bad thing? Why would you try to disguise it? Have you refused to take photos together (or have you been standing on a crate/wearing giant heels) throughout your relationship thus far? If not, why should your wedding day be any different? (And if so, why are you insecure about the height difference?)


    Quite honestly, I think that it's going to look ridiculous if you dramatically attempt to cut back on the height difference. Just get pretty, comfy shoes that you love, and let that be it. Your photos will look NORMAL, not weird, if you're each at your natural heights and if you're smiling and happy together. There's no way that a photo of a happily married couple would look weird.
