For the life of me I can't remember the shoes I wore on my wedding day! Granted, it was a million years ago, but isn't that strange? I can remember the dress my mother made for me and the baby's breath I wore in my hair, but not the shoes. What I do remember is taking them off at the reception because my feet were hurting so much.
We're entering into the wedding season, and even though I'm no longer with husband, I still love the pomp and ceremony and idea of what the wedding symbolizes. So here's my toast to you: may you and your beloved enjoy each other for the rest of your lives -- God bless you both. And may you, dear bride-to-be, find the wedding shoes of your dreams!! This is no idle toast, for finding beautiful shoes in low heels or flats in your size that are worthy of the day can be quite a challenge. So I, your die-hard romantic shoe reviewer, will dedicate future posts to this quest.
