(That's the day after Monday, you know).
So for her second week, RoseRed, who has a shoe collection I can only envy, not emulate, showed us her wedding shoes. So I thought I'd start with mine.
I was also inspired by Amy in Rhode Island. She posted a lovely wedding photo and I wanted to as well.
Sean and I got married in August 2004, after 5 years together. It was my second marriage and neither of us were keen on a traditional white wedding. So we got married on a foggy winter's morning at the National Botanic Gardens and I wore a red dress made for me.
And that is Sean! He finally let me put a photo of him on the blog. He was wearing a matching red waistcoat under his jacket. And we were freezing.
So under all that fabric, I was wearing some little red slippers in the same shade of red. I found them quite by accident not long before the wedding when we had a weekend away on the south coast of New South Wales, in a little tourist town called Mogo. It was a junk shop really. Full of odds and ends, strange trinkets and oddities. I saw the slippers for a mere $24 and seized them at once.
Somewhere there is a photo of me lifting up my dress a little to show my slippers. But do you think I can find it?
Three years on, I wear them around the house now. They are a little worse for wear.
I keep meaning to go back to Mogo and pick up another pair. It's only 2 hours or so from Canberra. I wonder if they still have them?Next week: purple shoes!
