I knew this was going to be a problem, I had been stressing over it since we set the date...what shoes am I going to wear? I know this shouldn't be an issue but quick FYI: My FI is 6' 2"....I'm 6' and I love heels. The problem is most heels average about 3 inches which would but me in at 6' 3" but I don't want to stand taller than my groom on our wedding day. Not only that but it isn't easy for me to find cute shoes, that are reasonably priced AND suit my needs. The reason for this is that I wear a size 13 shoe....no go ahead and laugh, I'll wait....Done? Ok, moving right along....
I really want to be feminine, especially since my wedding dress (once I make it :P) Is going to be tea length, if not a little shorter. If I was wearing a longer dress, I probably wouldn't mind wearing flats ((gasp!)) or whatever but I have fairly decent legs (so people say) and with the style of dress I have in my head heels would be nice but I keep coming up short in my style selections OR (as in the case when browsing on Amazon) the heels are wayyy too tall- I'm six feet tall, what the flip am I going to do with some 4-6" heels? My name is NOT "TASTY Tower" so I shouldn't be wearing shoes that make me look like I'm the headliner for Diamond Joe's Strip Club- I'm just sayin. I have a pair of those in my closet but that's where they stay- in the closet (hey, they were on sale for $20 dollars in MY size...that don't happen often so what if they're 6" and I can't walk without hitting my head on the hallway light fixture)
All I can hope for is that I'll find a cute shoe, in my size, with a 2" heel that goes nicely with my dress (once i finish making it lol). Sorry this is so long but I appreciate the opportunity to vent. I kind of-sort of feel better
