Well, I found many things, but notably – my shoes have been chosen! I went with the ever-dependable Zappos, and as I expected, I was able to pick my pair straight from their site! I actually ordered six – with the intention of returning five…
Once I started trying them on, it was the easiest decision I’ve ever made – they were the only thing that didn’t feel like torture devices on my oversize feet (such a pain to be a 10.5-11!) But, this is the shoe that I am going with, and they are made by “rsvp” in the style “Cherie” (I linked all of the pictures up, in case you wanted to check any of them out yourself):
They are fabric, instead of that shiny, slippery nylon stuff – and, they are slightly ivory, which is what I need. Can you believe that bow on the back? Don’t you love it?
Just for the sake of interest – these are the other shoes that I ordered to try on as well:
1) Ralph Lauren Sandals – They made my feet look like long sausages (they could look great on somebody else, however – which, will go without saying about each of the following shoes on this list, okay? I wouldn’t have to repeat myself…) 
2) A pair by “Touch Ups” – I REALLY wanted these to work, but they hurt, and they “flopped” noisily :
3) A pair by Nine West, which they are out of now – so, no link available (sorry!) – These would have been second choice… they are just asking for torture, however:
4) Another pair by “Touch Ups” – I also really like these a lot, but the inside of that strap kept rubbing against my foot, which was just pinpointing exactly where the blister would undoubtedly appear on my wedding day:
5) And, yet another pair by “Touch Ups” – again with the “flip-flop” sound:
So, I think that I made a good choice! But, now on to the next challenge – what do I take to the reception as my “backup” shoes? I’m pretty sure that flip-flops aren’t acceptable… and, honestly – I don’t care… but, the length of my dress would due to the exact fitting, etc. Oh well…

I LOVE THESE!!!
i fell in love with the SAME exact pair and got all giddy bc they came in my size (10s and 11s) and was all set on “Go” til i saw how high the heel was.
crap!
me and the FH are neck in neck in height so i really didnt want to tower over him…..
sigh….
i love them though….so very cute!

That’s funny – I actually will have the same issue regarding height… but, those shoes were the only ones that were comfortable, and I figured that I probably make him look short a lot already, anyway, right? I was worried about the heel for a different reason – comfort! But, these surprised me!
