My sister, Maria, putting on my shoes for me
Around 4 o’clock about a half hour before the wedding started, my little sister, Maria, helped me put on my shoes. They didn’t come off until nearly one in the morning after the majority of people departed and I was chopping down delicious Asian style fried tofu. I didn’t think of my feet once throughout the wedding, which is a sign that the blue shoes were a good pick after all.
The original plan to wear the glass slippers during the ceremony didn’t go as planned because it rained the entire week before the wedding, and saturated ground and stilettos are not a good mix! That being said, the heels of the blue shoes didn’t fair as well as they too sunk into the ground, which caused a lot of the dye to fade from a royal blue to a light blue despite my best waterproofing efforts.
In my blue shoes, I danced late into the night surrounded by people who love me and David.

Thank you so much Samantha!
You look stunning in your bridal outfit and I like the blue suede shoes for the “something blue” – shame about the glass slippers but being comfortable at your own party is paramount too! – sliding around in the wet on stilettos would not have been fun. Your dress is gorgeous – you can see it more clearly now in these photos.
Thanks so much V!
I wish I could’ve worn both but the heels sunk straight into the grass. Haha.
I’m glad you liked the dress! I thought more photos were needed since the first post had an overwhelming amount of information.
You look amazing! And you didn’t think of your feet– a great sign indeed!

Thanks so much Laura! Our first dance was a bit awkward and I actually enjoyed our last dance much more
I’m so glad the rain stopped too. My hairdresser told me that she heard the weatherman say it was the nicest weekend in 30 years.

They are beautiful shoes. I’m to be the mother of a bride ten days from now and have a pair of grey suede pumps. I’m more than a little worried about the heighth of the heels, 4 inches!

That sounds perfect for fall!
Maybe you should bring a backup pair of flats?
