Heel Height

Nathan is definitely taller than I am. In this shot from our engagement pictures, you can see he easily has four or five inches on me—taller but not towering over me.

If I wear a normal-sized heel, I'm just shorter than Nathan by an inch or two. I'm totally comfortable with this, and wear heels often. Would I wear a pair of shoes like this with a 6 and 1/2 inch heel?

Well, probably not. I mean, I'm not even sure I could walk in those, but that's beside the point!

Now look at this picture of my whole family at Lake Superior this summer...

Ok, so maybe it's a slight incline. But it gets my point across—I'm definitely the shortest in the family! And Nathan is pretty close in height to both of my sisters.

In fact, throw a pair of three or four-inch heels on either Emily or Abigail and I'm pretty sure he'd be looking up at them. Nathan's brothers (the groomsmen) aren't necessarily tall either. Now, I'm not saying it would be a huge deal if they wore heels, but we're definitely think of going with a flat sandal. I'm pretty sure they'd be more comfortable like that anyway!

If they wear a more casual sandal, what should I wear? I was leaning towards heels at first, but now I love the idea of being able to walk around all day no problem, not trip on my dress, be comfortable, match my sisters...
