My brother's getting married in May! It's definitely a family affair, with me a bridesmaid and my husband the best man. Lots of planning going on at our house!!
I took my dress to the seamstress last week, and I ordered my shoes. Can someone please tell me why bridal shoes are so damn expensive??? I had to pay $60 to get a pair of shoes, and it's a three-week wait for them to be dyed to match the chocolate brown dress. I'm glad I thought of going early to get those suckers picked out.
As for the shoes and maturity: I tried on three or four pairs. I narrowed it down to a pair of strappy sandals with a higher, square heel, and a pair of pump-like shoes with a low heel and a peep-toe. I liked the sandals a lot, but they rubbed slightly at the base of my toes. I said to myself, "Self? How are these shoes going to feel after wearing them for twelve hours, including dancing?" Ten years ago I would've picked them 'cause they were prettier. But I chose the pumps. That's definitely a sign of getting older: being more sensible! It made me feel a bit old. Where's the fun-loving gal and who's this Mom-Figure that's replaced her? Eh...most days I'm fine with it!!
Tomorrow I'm going dress shopping with Mom to pick her out a dress for the wedding. I'm also going to peruse the sale racks to find something to wear to my friend Michelle's wedding. I'm hoping some luck will come our way!!!

I've pretty much always gone for comfort over style. I own exactly ONE pair of shoes with skinny heels for this very reason; it may look awesome but if it hurts to walk in it's not worth it. Especially for something like a wedding, where you'll be standing and dancing a lot. Good choice!
