My quest for the perfect pair of wedding shoes started just after the first of the year. The criteria? Must be off white, but not ivory (as my dress is a strange shade of natural silk color), must not have too high of heel - Noah's only a few inches taller than I am - and they couldn't be too outrageously expensive. The shoes I ended up getting had 1 of the 3 criteria. After looking at some old wedding pictures of my parents I realized that my mom wore light pink pumps on her wedding day. Who better to emulate than my beloved mother :-)
I decided that it would be better to not get any shade of white at all and chose a pair of berry colored strappy sandals. I ended up spending about double the price that I wanted to spend, but I figure since they aren't white I can definitely wear them again. The heel turned out to be just the perfect height!
A couple of weeks ago the shoes arrived at my house after I ordered them from Chinese Laundry. When they arrived I of course tried them on to see if they were comfortable and if I could walk in them. Turns out they were in fact very comfortable and I had no problems walking in them. In fact they are so perfect I left them on for about an hour just walking around the house. I was so excited I told Noah that the shoes were my favorite part of the wedding so far. Typical Noah he said, "You mean I'm not your favorite part of the wedding?" So silly. He was just trying to get a rise out of me I suppose. Anyway, I told him that of course he was my favorite part, but that I would have him even without the wedding and without the shoes. And of course I wouldn't have any need for the shoes without him!

apparently I missed a memo somewhere along the ways because I had NO IDEA you were wearing berry colored shoes. Sweet ass.
