Evening! (early again, I know)

Re: Evening! (early again, I know)

  • That's what I'm asking Angel. Silver. My MOH found some at Payless already. I'm not paying.

  • I got some food so maybe I can post the awful dilemma I'm facing.

    Everyone have enough wine to listen?

  • Angel, wtf?  Silver shoes are not hard to find, and they're not rare, either.  That's silly.

    Marshalls, if there is one near you. I always go to famous footwear or DSW and find the same exact shoes at Marshalls for 1/2 the price. Especially if it is a shoe wearhouse store

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Evening! (early again, I know) : That's how I feel, so I told them they'll probably all be wearing a silver shoe of their choice. Supposedly silver isn't "commonly" found in people's wardrobe's, so I should pay. I think that's stupid, they can go to Payless and get them for $15 if they want. It would be one thing if I was asking them to buy Louboutins or something..

    <div>I think that nude, brown, black or any metallic is fair game.  If an actual color is requested, then the bride pays, IMO.</div>
  • My sister told us any black shoe (to which I had several in my closet at the time) and I still went out and bought a new pair.

    I have to buy converse for a wedding I am in. I am NOT looking forward to that.

  • Plenty, oot.

    And thanks, Eags!
  • ugh.  I hate the idea of making a wedding party wear Chucks.  And I love Chucks.  I have like six pairs.

    I'm not MUN1, but I just got a pair from Nordstrom that are low heels and I love them.  Vince Camuto is the brand.

    <div>This is how I feel about it too. If someone requested I buy hot pink pumps for their wedding, I'd be pissed because A) They would be hard to find and B) I would almost never wear them. </div><div>
    </div><div>If someone asked me to buy nude shoes, I'd be stoked. It'd be a great excuse to go buy something I've been wanting. </div>
  • This is a really long night thread. Are we rehashing NMS?

    I like nude shoes.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Evening! (early again, I know) : This reminds me.  I bought my prom dress at Wedding World.  I still have it.  It is gorgeous.  I was trying it on in front of the mirror and another girl asked me if I was going to get it.  That clinched it for me.

    WW on McKnight Road?  My sister got at least one of her prom dresses there.
  • Yeah I don't buy the excuse that people are too shy or whatever for everyone to be at their ceremony. The reception is just as much attention. I think people want gifts and feel bad admitting to that. I guess I don't get why it is bad to admit to wanting/anticipating gifts.

  • Seriously?  People are still doing the Chucks for weddings route?

    I love them too but we are going to look so stupid in short dresses and converse. Her FI talked her out of it but another BM talked her back into it again. So looks like I need to go buy a new pair. 

    H is in the wedding too so he needs to buy them as well.

    I don't think I'd be doing this. I don't like them, I wouldn't wear them again so it would be a waste of money, and it would look stupid. That's a good example of when I think the bride should pay.

  • I'm firmly against dictating shoes (even if you're paying), but that's because I have stupid feet, and I hate the idea of suffering just for someone's vision.

    Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
  • You know what else is NMS that isn't really wedding related? Stuff with words on it. Shirts, stickers, art, whatever. I would rather die than have something like this in my house:




    Actually it doesn't even have to be words. I don't like letters either. I'm not a fan of monograms on anything really.

  • Can you at least get the one stars from Target instead, or has the bride demanded all stars? The Target version cost half as much

    Edie, my sister has a pair but they are green. I don't think anyone else I know has them. I have two pairs of old converse but the bride wants them black and white. I don't have those.

  • I actually kinda like the chucks idea. I wouldn't wear them for the ceremony, or require the BMs to wear them, but I would think about wearing them for the reception.

    I know, crazy! And you will look beautiful at your wedding, even if your dress is NMS.

  • You can borrow my black and white gingham ones.  She never specified SOLID black, did she?  muah-ha-ha.  Where should we meet for the handoff?  Alabama's in the middle, I think
  • Darn you all, now I want to buy shoes.  But what I need is a water softener and new dishwasher.
  • Heh, Anna, I actually think that looks pretty cool. To each their own, I guess.

    <div>That's a good idea. I'll ask but I don't know if she'll go for it. I wouldn't mind so much if I could get a pair I wanted and would enjoy wearing again. </div>

  • Good evening everyone!  I was one of those lame-os that wore Chucks to my reception, but I didn't require anyone in the wedding party to do it with me.  I was just glad my feet were comfy.  Because of the problems and surgeries I've had with my foot I'm not supposed to wear heels, but I did anyways for the ceremony.  My feet were definitely mad at me for putting them in heels, but the Chucks later made up for it.

    See, if YOU want to wear Chucks, knock your socks off.  Whatever.  But making your BMs buy pricey specific shoes and wear them, even if they're not their style?  Silly.
