Does it matter? Silver/Black?

i am a matron of honour in about 31 days (hey who's counting).

My dress is a long (to the floor) red strapless gown. It is gorgeous.

The bride told me that she would buy me shoes. I told her that i have a real comfy pair of high heeled classy shoes, which is slipper like and has a thin band of black strap across the toes and a several square diamontes up the top my feet which connects to another thin black strap below my ankle (as per below, the diamontes are centred obviously, don't come up right when i post the thread). They are so comfy too, so could survive in them all day and all night.

She insists on buying me a pair of silver shoes for under the dress. I disagreed as to who will see my shoes under a long gown. I have to break these "new" shoes in well before the wedding as i have wide feet and find it hard to buy shoes as it is. No speak of when we'll buy them if we do, probably a few days before :rolleyes:

How can i change her mind??

Is it a money thing or a comfort thing? If it's a comfort thing, perhaps ask if she'd mind if you wear the silver shoes for the actual wedding and photos, and then if you get uncomfy for the reception see if she'd mind you slipping into your other shoes?

It probably doesn't matter but to the bride it is most likely a very big deal. I would explain to her that you have had trouble wearing in shoes so if possible you would like to get the silver shoes asap so you can wear them around the house at night to make sure they are as comfy as possible for her big day.

ETA: Nelle's idea is a great one

TK's idea would be my plan B :p

Well a bit of both, but more of a comfort thing. I don't want to be not be able to walk and dance at her wedding.

I'll do both. I'll get mum to bring my black shoes with me and hide them under the bridal table. And i'll ask her now if we can buy the shoes ASAP and that i want to wear them in at home.

Thanks for ideas, lovely girls. :D
