Brandon's Ring

P.S. I bought Brandon's wedding band yesterday! Hurst Fine Diamonds (Brandon also got my engagement ring there) was having a store wide sale and I wanted Brandon to pick out his own ring. This is the ring he picked out:

We originally thought tungsten would be the best for him, but Brandon liked the look of the black ceramic the best. I think it fits him. I was so excited to finally buy his wedding band. I have to say it looks pretty hot on his hand...

Shoes

I have had a dilemma pressing on my mind since I bought my wedding dress three months ago. Shoes. I am 5'10 and my fiance is 6'0. This would not be a problem except for the fact that I absolutely adore heels. And not just a little two inch heels but stiletto, four or five inch heels. Brandon, my beloved, has sweetly told me if I want to wear heels he is man enough to be slightly shorter. Normally, this is not a problem for me. BUT on my wedding day I want there to be a definite height difference. Unfortunately this means I must wear flats. Plus the fact that I already had to add extra length to my bridal gown,(if I had wanted to wear heels I would have had to add extra EXTRA length to my gown), it has been decided that I will wear flats.

Problem: It seems to me that all bridal flats have a little casual bow on the front, look like old women's shoes, or are just plain... plain.

When my sister got married in July, I remembered that she had the same dilemma so I decided to start shopping early. I am glad I did. I still haven't found anything...

I don't want anything cutesy, I want a sophisticated shoe that will complement my lace gown. Is that too much to ask??

If I ever find any options there will be another post on shoe possibilities. For now, that is my bridal show rant.
