My heart doesn't beat... it flip flops!

I know there are a lot of shoe obsessed brides in the world. A lot of women go gaga over a great designer stileto/flat/peep/d'orsay (shout out to you shoe bees!). I am a sucker for flip flops. Cheap, comfortable flip flops.

I'm afraid to even attempt to count how many pairs I have. I'd estimate the number around 20. I have about 3 pairs of everyday flip flops, and if I can help it, they are the only shoes I wear. I wear them in the rain, to and from work (I have to change when I'm in the office... boo!), running errands, out to dinner, everywhere. All the time.

My wedding day was not going to be any exception. After my dress arrived, I tried it on and knew that I wouldn't have to get much (if any) length taken off the bottom (yay petite sizes!). I have been on the look out for the *perfect* flip flop to go with my dress. While on a shopping trip to Nordstrom Rack for Mr. D, I couldn't resist a quick run through the shoe department. And there they were! My perfectly fitting, totally comfortable, and just the right height...

I couldn't be happier. And the price was right at $20. Yes, I got my wedding dress and shoes for $99. Hello bargin!

As I mentioned, my love of flip flops heavily influenced my theme. Since I was going to be in flip flops, I wanted our guests to feel comfortable as well, so we are encouraging "resort attire and flip flops are encouraged." The groom and groomsmen will be in casual silk shirts and khakis, and flip flops of course! Bridesmaids are welcome to wear them as well.

So, yes, I planned my wedding around my shoes. Am I the only one? Are you wearing flip flops too?
