Awesome, Candida! I bet your sneaks looked super cute!

My $120 heels hurt my feet before the end of the ceremony. Luckily, I had worn my shell-toe ADIDAS with turquoise blue stripes earlier that day while we were setting up, so I did what worked for me. I put those shoes on under my beautiful wedding dress and hit the dance floor until the last person left. They matched the shall that I wore over my dress when it got cold, and it was something else that was blue for my day. The pictures look cute, because it just fits my personality. I wouldn’t buy the ones that say BRIDE but I did rock my own! And I loved it.

I had bridal Chucks, yellow ones with daisies and red ladybugs (they came that way, I didn’t add them on.) I bought them in case my gorgeous bridal shoes hurt my feet–I didn’t want to spend my wedding day with hurting feet. However, my bridal shoes turned out to be both beautiful and ridiculously comfy, so I wore them the entire time. I just wish I had thought to get a photo of me in my wedding gown and yellow Chucks.

I have no problem with the Adidas. They don’t have to be for the ceremony anyway, lots of people make sweatsuits or other clothes with “bride” and “groom” on it for the days before (and after) the wedding. And you could wear the Adidas for a long time afterward.

All i can think is “they would be really comfy work shoes.”

I don’t HATE them. But, I don’t love them either and I definitely wouldn’t wear them. I’m not a sneaker person.

Maybe they’re for a sporty bride and groom to wear on their honeymoon?

I think you should be comfortable on your wedding day. If sneakers will make you comfortable then go for it. These would also be great on a honeymoon where you might be doing a lot of activities like sightseeing.

Are these truly meant to be worn at the wedding? Or are they intended to go with your ‘Bride’ and ‘Groom’ and ‘Bridesmaid’ and ‘Third Cousin of the Groom, Twice Removed’ t shirts that people wear when the party gathers for rehearsal?

Either way, burning hatred. Sneakers do not belong with formalwear without an intensely strong reason (such as the groom in an episode of Whose Wedding Is It, Anyway? who was a sneaker designer and created a pair of high tops in the same motifs they used throughout the wedding as a gift to his lady), and most people pretty quickly figure out who is fulfilling what role in a wedding party about five seconds after the officiant starts calling for order.

I know who I am. If someone else does not, they are at perfect liberty to ask. Things like this remind me of name tags the first day of summer camp or kindergarten.

Besides, I’m going to cease to be the bride, groom, or whatever member of the wedding party by the time the last bit of spilt champagne is mopped up. Then what do I do with the sneakers? Somehow I don’t think I’m going to get as sentimental about them as I am about the wedding gown.

Waste. Of. Good. Money.

How did I miss the earlier post about bridal Chucks? My husband and I wore matching custom Chucks for our wedding earlier this year. All anyone said at the event was, “What a great idea!”

We plan to wear them again every year on our anniversary.

Sorry, I’m “hating” this new sneakers with formalwear trend. Guess I’m just an old-fashioned gal.
