could you manage a pair of shoes like this?

Wear your DM's if the alternative is ugly boring shoes you're never gonna wear again! I happen to think DM's look super cool with dresses. It's all about attitude.

I went to my Italian friend's wedding in Naples, and bought a cheap pair of low-ish heels. Even that I couldn't manage, and I ended up wearing my (at the time) trusty, battered cowboy boots with my pretty knee-length dress. Noone batted an eyelid - but then I was probably already seen as the weirdo singleton who travelled from Belfast to Naples by herself for the weekend! Who cares? Nobody. Have fun!

I'd wear the DMs.

Then again, I did wear black converse with a ridiculously girly dress shape (but with a b movie monster print on it) and net petticoat for a reception last week. The compliments I got (and, even if i say so, there were a huge number) were based upon my awesome dress. Nobody looked at my feet. And if they had, I wouldn't have cared.

We certainly didnt do any form of a gift, either, partly because the last time I did, and bought the socially conventional (and boring as hell) beige shift dress from Marks and Sparks, the cow getting married never even bothered acknowledging the thirty quid voucher I scrimped and saved to stick in a card for her.


You're there to celebrate two people in love, not to keep up with the posh couples.

These sandals are supposed to be comfy, and are cheaper than what you linked to http://www.shoezone.com/Search-Results?stresults=Softlites

I've booked the hotel, bought the top and trousers already, the necklace is a charity shop bead and shell number - the shoes are a stumbling point.

Pity you've already bought the top & trousers as I was going to suggest this:

My friend just last week got her ENTIRE wedding outfit: long summery dress, strappy shoes, some beads, and a hat, for a total of £17 from several charity shops in town. 2 X £50? Why? Nobody has to give that much, especially if it's only an ex colleague or whatever. I wouldn't even give a family member that much!

Wow, must be a guy thing, I thought you were talking about coins for the envelope! Remind me to invite you to my next wedding!

I'm getting married in July and wouldn't expect £100 from anyone, especially an evening guest.

If they drink, I'd just turn up with a bottle of champagne. (£12.99 in Tesco or asda at the moment!)

I feel your pain with the wide fit shoes, I can only buy wide fit. Don't know if you've tried the Footglove range from M&S? You can get some really nice pairs (my most recent addition was nude patent heels) for around £20.
They also do standard wide fit but the footglove range is even more comfortable.

Went to the evening do of a friend's sister who I've known for years - me, Mum and OH took them a bottle of fizz and put £20 in the card, they were really happy with that

(I'm happy to wear black trousers to a wedding - usually put a colourful top on though!)
