which isnt helped by the fact that I have one leg shorter than the other, AND I walk funny to begin with :P) so I have to get a low heel, probably no more than an inch, and it cant be very narrow.

Girl, you gotta get inserts or orthotics for your shoes.  I have the same problem with different leg lengths.  I don't want to spend to get full custom orthotics yet, but my chiropractor helped me find the right size heel insert.  It's not perfect, but it only costs $5 and it helps a ton.  I'm amazed at how different my body feels with it.  I told my doctor that I hadn't realized that a lot of areas of my back, hips, legs, etc were hurting until they stopped aching all the time.  I had just grown accustomed to it.  People used to ask me if I was limping.  I don't think I walked all that different just because of the leg thing, but it really has made a difference for me.

Yeah, I do better with flats, but I do still like heels.  I can wear them much more now than before thanks to the inserts.   I do love the fact that I'm tall (just under 6 feet), and I don't try to hide it.  I don't tend to wear heels higher than 2-3 inches (I like my height, but I don't need to be mammoth woman).  DF's family saw the dress I chose (long, straight, very simple) and commented on how they liked that it accentuated my height.  They said, "if you've got it, flaunt it!" and told Andrew he needed to take a top hat to the US for the wedding so that I could be as tall as I wanted without him feeling self conscious about the height difference!  :D  So who knows, maybe I'll wear heels after all.  We shall see.  Either way, I am just happy to be with him.  It will be wonderful!

I had a lovely pair of strappy sandals, but since we were married outside (just last weekend) the heels sunk into the ground.  I ended up walking barefoot through the grass down the "aisle"... it was great :D

We had an outdoor wedding in a wooded park, and I went barefoot. For the reception, however, white, flat sandals with thin straps.  ;D

They're UK size 7 (bought on ebay new) if anyone is interested in buying them  ;) I think my feet were a bit too wide for them, probably why they hurt so much.  ::)

I found the perfect pair of flip flops to wear. They are flat and white with some sparkles on them. (my guy and I are the same heighth, and I dont want to tower over him)

I found them at Khols for.....$8.00!!!!!!!!!!  :D

I wore baby blue Converse low tops (they were my something blue).  Wouldn't have done it any other way.  I used a "BRIDE" rhinestone iron-on and put that on the back of one of the shoes. 

I actually did the opposite of what most girls do - I started in the sneakers,  but switched into a pair of heels for our first dance.  My DH is a foot taller than me and we couldn't have good dance frame without the added height.

Oh, here's a pic!

I wore white flat sandles I got at M&S. Worked great as it was in the mid 40's the day we married.
