Wedding Shoe Saga!

So, I have had this vision of wearing yellow shoes with my wedding dress. Not just any yellow shoes, but the perfect yellow shoes. In my head they have a kitten heel and a rounded toe. Or maybe a slightly higher heel and an peep toe. And they are the perfect buttery shade of yellow.

Problem? They don't exist.

First, I bought these:



And I loved them. I really did. But they just didn't look right with the dress. It's a very closed, conservative shoe, and my dress is strapless and knee length and white and summery. With pockets.:

So, we sent them back.

Josh had his own vision of what my shoes should look like. Strappy, strappy, strappy! Low-heeled. We found a pair on eBay. Bought them. Ugh. The straps start behind my toes and it just looks so odd. I will not be wearing them, needless to say.

Then yesterday, I found what could be the most perfect pair so far, also on eBay:

Problem? They are in Hong Kong and it would take 2-3 weeks to get here. Wedding is two weeks from tomorrow.

So now what? I have googled and searched for weeks now, and still have not found 'the' shoes. At least not the ones that could arrive in time.

I have a pair of yellow flip-flops to wear for the ceremony (I was going to go barefoot, but then I thought about sharp broken shells slicing my feet up on my way down the aisle). Josh is wearing flip-flops the entire time, and thinks I should, too. I would not normally be adverse to this, but he is about a foot taller than me. When we dance, I'd like to be looking into his eyes instead of his belly button.

Wish I could fast forward two weeks and see what I end up with on my feet. Something tells me it's gonna be flip flops.
