I'm taller than him!
I'm 5'7, my fiance-to-be, is 5'4. I absolutely hate flats and wearing them at my wedding is not an option. He's comfortable with his height, as am I, but i don't really know what to do with a possible 8" height difference on the big day! The pictures will be, awkward unless i can get some ideas. And the ceremony will definately be a sight, but then again it's not a traditional affair by any stretch.

Re: I'm taller than him!
Maybe have him wear a shoe with a little bit of a heel or platform on it.. no more than an inch, but something like a cowboy boot would raise him up some. I don't know other than that.

If you're comfortable with your heights, why should your wedding day be any different? Wear some 4 inch heels around him months before the wedding. Take candid shots. Or, how about wear 1 1/2 inch heels? Not every heel is 4 inches tall.

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

[QUOTE]Your wedding date is about 4 ( 2014) years away. I would wait about 3 1/2 to start worryung about this. Wear small heels, talk to your photographer on how to pose you, or just don't worry about it, and wear whatever you want. Either way, there is no reason to even worry now about it.

nice catch, mags. Seriously, OP, if you're going to obsess about things that are completely out of your control for the next 4 years, you're going to have a coronary before your wedding.
You're not going to get shorter. He's not going to get taller. Why pretend in pictures that you're not the height that you both are?
I have a mental image of your children looking at your oh-so-artfully created wedding photos. "Mommy, why did daddy get smaller after you were married?"
OP: let this go. For at least 3.9 years. Then worry about shoes that are comfortable so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day.
Just tell them that on your wedding day of all days, you won't lie.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I'm taller than him! : Somehow I find it really hard to believe that your family members have a problem with you being taller than him. Even if they do, tell them to get over it and wear whatever you want. In 2014.

I never said their objections made sense, I personally couldn't believe it either, but you can't really remove the douchebagery from your family.
Seriously though, if you love heels, presumably you have worn them around your FI before. I'm guessing your family may even have seen you wearing them around him. They'll deal. If you think it'll be a problem for some reason, just don't discuss it with them - I guarantee you that on the day of your wedding no crazy family member is going to pull you aside in the middle of the ceremony to tell you to take your shoes off.
