Is it ok to wear flat shoes on your wedding day????

Getting married in July and am very excited:j
Only problem is my husband to be and I are the same height in real life and when I wear heels I tower over him which I hate at the best of times. I would like to wear some nice sparkly silver flats on my wedding day but something about it doesn't seem right. I hate the thought of walking down the aisle with my shoes flip-flopping under my dress.
I also don't really like kitten heels as they present the same problem.
I really don't want to look like a drag queen on our big day!
Advice please :)

    is surely better for you on the day! i wore high heels for my wedding and had aching feet the whole day!

    would love to see a picture of what you decide to wear on the day - my friend wore her new reeboks under her dress. it was a winter wedding!
    Smile tho' your heart is aching, Smile even tho' it's breaking, When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by. If you smile thro' your fear and sorrow,
    Smile and maybe tomorrow, You'll see the sun come shining through; for you.(Charlie Chaplin)

    It is perfectly OK to wear flats - in fact it makes sense as you have to do so much standing around. Also ...(sad story from my distant past)....
    ...The photographer directed first husband to stand on a higher step outside the chapel & brand new husband took exception, blaming me for wearing heels (they were teeny!), not the best of starts :o

    I wore slippers, proper fluffy slippers (although I had worn high-heels for a bit)
