Bridal Shoes | A Pair to Face Adversity
I don't know about you but when Randall and
I pack up for a long weekend I bring more shoes than days we will be away.
I have to have a good pair of walking shoes, in case we see a good place to hike
around for some photos. And when we are done taking photos I will need some nice shoes for
dinner out or a movie, and maybe they should be heels. Oh, there's a pool
at the hotel? Flip flops would be perfect. What if it's chilly, ahh, bring the
slippers too. But what it we go to a pub for a snack, surely I can't wear my
hiking shoes and flip flops would just not do and I don't want to be over
dressed…..I digress. This isn't about my intricately planned shoe wear, this story is about a very thought out day by a very
thoughtful bride.
Who knew it could snow 10 inches the week before Halloween. In Mass it hadn't snowed really in October since 1929, and even then it was nothing like this! Call it global climate change or call it mother nature testing the spirit of all couples planning for a beautiful fall wedding. Call it a nightmare for open-toed light pink satin pumps! These are the kind of shoes Cinderella would have a hard time leaving on Prince Charming's palace stairs.
Imagine this: 10 inches of snow the night before your well planned "fall" wedding; power is out at the venue- the Publick House; they are cooking with gas stoves and powering enough light for the chandeliers over the dance floor with a generator; candles line every table. Good news is it's not that cold out and most the guests can make it. In the face of adversity this bride was a gem, she looked mother nature in the eye and said "fine - we will have a snow ball fight in October!" and she did.
So the pink satin shoes made it through the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the first dance. Alas they did not make it through the night, a switch up was made for ivory flip flip pumps. The ivory pumps were the same height as the pink satin pumps so the dress was never dragging. A must if you plan on heirloom packing your dress for your future daughters wedding.
Guys always claim they have a brass pair in the face of adversity. This bride had three pairs.
