    I am 2 inches shorter than H2B although somehow ended up with a set of higher heels. Am not planning on wearing them when go to take outside pictrues though as really dont want to ruin them. They cost me far to much money. So buying some flats to wear for the outside pictures which will be the majority then i am smaller

    Going to become Mrs Stockman
    Got engaged on 26th April 2011
    Getting married 19th May 2012

    My h2b is about 2" taller than me and he begged me not to where high heels as he would like to remain taller lol i did suggest he could wear platforms and got the most filthiest look lol, so am sticking to kitten heels and want some sparkly ballerina shoes.

    Obviously Kieran doesn't have a problem with me being so much taller than him. If he did we wouldn't be getting married. My son is also about the same height as me, if not a little taller, so we utilise the space in the kitchen by putting things on top of the cupboards. Sometimes Kieran has to come and ask one of us to get something down for him!

    LOL, I've the same problem plus my moh and eldest daughter are taller than me so I really want to wear heels. Will have to make them wear flip flops and have him put a wedge in his for the pictures, I think platforms may be a bit too embarrassing! lol xx

    In 5ft 4 and H2B is 5ft 6 so it will be flaties or very small heel for me. I love heels but they dont agree with my feet as i have an enhanced arch on one foot and have real problems with it so its worked out perfectly. My EXH was 6ft 4 so had to wear heels and my feet were killling me all day lol xx

    Yes i have a similar problem only about 2-3 inch difference. I have managed to get shoes with a 2 inch heel, and h2b is going to have shoes with a bit of a heel on them so i am just about smaller than him thank god!!

    You can get lovely flat shoes tho and u probly wont be able to see much of them coz ur dress will be so long only really the front you will be able to see when you walk xx

    Faith have a lush pair in their wedding collection. I love heels as well but am the most clumsy person in the world and have a huge staircase to walk down to get to the alter with everyone looking at me so going to have a small pair of heels that I will be less likely to fall on. H2B is also about the same height as me in heels so I don't want a huge pair (although their are some beautiful ones in dolcis and faith) that will make me taller than him either. May buy two pairs-one for the stairs and photos and and another for the evening x

    Im already on inch taller than my H2B so I know where youre coming from!
    Lucky hes not self concious about the difference. In fact his response to my question about it was that 'he has a better vantage point of my boobs at this height'! Horny sicko! lol

    Anyway I digress...Im going for some nice flat silver strappy sandals with clear sparkly gems on them! You can get some lovely sandals. Good luck with your choice!

    I'm an inch taller than Steve and it doesn't really bother us - though I have restricted myself to 1 inch heels just so it looks better in the pics lol

    If you still want your heels the day (what girl doesnt want 2 feel like a princess) you could always just wear your heels until the photo's then wear flats for then and the 1st dance :)

    That way u both win :D
