Wedding Blog
I almost completely forgot to blog about this, what with the chaos of ripping up our front yard to fix the drainage system and trying to get invites out the door.
I bought shoes!
They’re happy, comfy, and will match my bouquet (um, maybe)… yay! Oh, yea, and ON SALE. For less. than. thirty. bucks. including. tax. Score! I’ll change into them after traversing the path to our ceremony site (which is now lined with gravel courtesy of my man).
So, that’s the good news.
The bad news is that I left my comfy Cole Haan ballet flats, which I’d planned to wear to and from the ceremony site, on the hood of my SUV and drove off, not noticing the situation until a SHOE FRIGGING FLEW OVER MY WINDSHIELD INTO THE ROAD. Sigh. I was running late and the road was busy so I was unable to rescue my shoe. We shall see if I can tomorrow.
Anyone else done a dumb (shoe -related or otherwise) thing lately?

sorries to hear about your shoe…teehee. u are too cute!
Oh no! I love my Cole Haan ballet flats:( Fortunately, ballet flats in general tend to be inexpensive to replace…good luck! But those pink heels are supar cute:)
OMG, i love those pink heels. That sucks about your flats though. I hope you can rescue it!!!
Love the heels! I’m considering the black ones for my bridesmaids. Sorry to hear about the flats…
my dad once did that with my mom’s wedding ring!
I was in grade school and he was bringing it to be repaired on saturday morning. He set it on the top of the car while he unloaded some stuff into the backseat and drove off.
Crazily enough, about a week later our neighbors were on a walk and saw something shiny in the landscape stones at the corner of our streets. The ring! It took my parents a little while to figure out someone had found the ring and it was safely returned. But a very traumatic experience for my dad!
hope you find your shoes in one piece!
So so so sorry about your ballet flats 
But glad you found those heels, they are really cute 
@LatteLove: I did it with my wedding ring too! But I never found mine What is it about putting stuff on the hood of our cars? I totally do it with sunglasses and drinks all the time!
OH NO!!
Growing up my mom ALWAYS left things on the top of her car, esp. cups of tea - My dad would always know she was disracted in the morning when he would get home and find a smashed teacup right outside of the driveway.
I adore those pink heels, I may have borrow the idea! Our colors go perfectly and I wanted some fun bright shoes under my dress. I’m sorry about your ballet flats though, what a bummer. Hopefully you can find it safe and sound though!
What dumb things have I done lately? How long does the hive have?!! As my FI suggested, I just wasn’t thinking this weekend. I’m a novice painter and thought I could double prime and paint our bathroom - wrong. Luckily he fixed it. Edging in a bathroom is hard work ladies! Then, I was helping move our new sofa into the house and it wasn’t fitting. I *knew* if I just pushed it would fit through the door, again wrong. Luckily nothing was broken in that adventure. And third (as it ran in 3’s this past weekend) while moving the sofa into the front door I tripped over some outdoor lighting and it broke. I wasn’t upset because I didn’t like it and wanted them removed from the new house. While FI got the sofa in the door, I decided to just pull up the lighting, I was being helpful! Incorrect - the wiring was apparently put under our sidewalk so now the lights and wires are just chillen in our flower beds out front!
Sorry, for the long post just wanted to share we’ve all had our moments of not thinking!
Are your flats saveable?!? Aw, I hope so! Your hot pink shoes are…HOT though!
oh my I hope you can salvage your shoes. Your new ones are darn cute though!!
Oh no Miss Cheese…hopefully you’ll find it! I gave the people dying my shoes the wrong swatch of fabric and was really confused when I picked up pale green shoes instead of bright blue ones.
My roommate when I first moved to GA was and still is notorious for leaving things on the hood of her car….laptops, notebooks, cups, shoes, lunch, the list goes on and on. Her husband made her swear on her life that she would never ever place their new baby anywhere on her car 
Oh no! Not the Cole Haans!!! But on the upside.. yay for finding awesome shoes on sale!!! 
I’m sorry- but you mind if I laugh hysterically at your post regarding your lost shoe? =o) It’s things like that that you just sit there saying to yourself “why me? why today? why THAT? of all things?!”.
The only thing I have done remotely forgetful lately is leaving my phone or coffee mug on my car while rushing to pack up to leave. My phone (which has since been replaced) miraculously was”spared”. I drove off realizing I left it on my car trunk. I back tracked on the road and found it on the road, then within a moment of making eye contact with it- a HUMMER drove over it. Yup. a HUMMER. It still worked, but the outdoor screen was broken.
The shoes are awesome!!!!
Oh no about your ballet flats! Don’t think I’m mean but I chuckled a little when I read it - that SO would happen to me and I know all my friends would laugh and me.. ahhh I feel ya - try to rescue them!!!
My dad leaves coffee cups on the roof. Often. So often that his presents mostly consist of travel mugs, which we all assume will be on the highway in a few weeks.
Such fun and pretty shoes!
Good luck rescuing the flats…
your shoes are so cute! where did u get them from? i have been searching for pink heels and havent had much luck (either too high or too expensive!)
i just bought the cole haan ballet flat and is seriously contemplating wearing those instead for the wedding!!!
LOVE those pink ones…i’ll say a little good thought to the universe for your ballet flats.
i hope you can rescue your shoe. i was driving behind someone on the freeway who had left their sneakers on the roof of the car. and they did eventually fall over…and right into my bumper. i got a good giggle that my car got kicked on the freeway
i have the same shoes!! still haven’t decided if i’m going to wear them because my fiance and i are the exact same height so i might want something a little lower.
what are your wedding colors mademoiselle fromage?
Wow, I am not generally a shoe fan, but those are just fabulous! (Especially at that price — well done!)
OH NO! I’ll be sending good thoughts your way for your shoes and I hope they are okay. I’ve done that with coffee cups a few times and my mom once did it with a gallon of milk (but it actually held on the whole ride home!)
Daily. Today it was navigating a NJ panhandle (cloverleaf, lovehandle, bane of my existence (strange way of making sure l have to drive blocks out of my way to make a left turn on my way to work), etc, l know the name is wrong but l hate them too much to learn the real name) with coffee in the wrong cupholder…
However, my dad once backed out of the garage while yelling to my brother to remember something for school with the car door open and tore part of the door off. However, he drove with the door partially attached and a window that only went halfway up for 6 months while waiting for his dream car to become available (he finally caved and took a PURPLE rental when the Chicago weather got to be too much for him)
I did that in high school with all of my senior pictures. & senior pictures were a big deal at my school. I left them all up there in the school (gravel) parking lot, drove off & saw them all flutter behind me as other students ran them over with their cars. AH! I ended up picking them all up while crying. We called the photog and he replaced them, luckily! Sorry to hear about your comfy Cole Haans!
Where did you get theses?
@gemasa7: I was hunting for them as well. Here ya go…http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/shoes/juniors/heels/PRD~399679/Candies+Florid+Dress+Heels.jsp
@gemasa7: That link didn’t seem to work. But they’re at Kohls online in the juniors section. So cute and great price!
Gah! I love those shoes! I’m looking for a pretty similar colour for mine and have had no luck so far! Your ballet flat gaff made me laugh:-) On my way to my first fitting a few weeks ago, one of my grandmother’s pearl earrings fell out of their box and bounced down the street right outside the bridal salon. Despite all my squinty eyed searching, I finally had to give up and head to my appointment, totally distracted by the loss. I assume I must have really good bridal karma, because when I looked down to unlock my door on my way home, the earring was sitting next to the wheel! Whew!
I have those shoes in black! Got to love Kohl’s sales!
haha…I left my backback on top of my car once when I was in high school. Luckily someone found it (still within my neighborhood) and placed it on the side of the road for me to find later. I thought my parents were going to kill me, because we had to pay for all of our books in high school (private school).
