Nothing like plaid hightops to make your day

The title of this post is a direct ripoff and homage to the ever-fabulous Krista, who will hopefully be joining us at the wedding.  She’s got a thing for shoes, and she has fantastic taste in shoes.

Obviously, this post is about shoes.  Specifically, my (Krys’s) shoes for the wedding.

This was the subject of much discussion between Chris and I.  Traditionally, a bride would wear these fancy slinky heels with bling and feathers and spikes and shiny satin.  Maybe not all on the same pair of shoes, but you know.  However, I’m a bit taller than Chris, and I prefer not to wear heels at our wedding.  Plus, it’s outdoors in a park on uneven ground and nothing ruins a wedding like a broken ankle.  So it was always flats in my mind.

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, totally copying me

Chris and I are not terribly traditional people.  We loved the idea of me wearing this super-fancy dress with hightops underneath, and it turns out that’s quite popular these days.  You heard it here first, I’m a trendsetter.  (not)

I have to say, this is the funnest thing about the wedding planning so far.  I love that Chris was so supportive of me wearing TENNIES on our big day.  He’s definitely meant for me.  <3
