I’ve been on the hunt for fantastic wedding shoes since we got engaged, and early on I decided that I wanted some balla’ shoes to wear on the wedding day. For wedding shoes, Loub has topped my list because of the fabulous red sole, and, well, the fabulous shoes attached to them!

A few months ago, I spotted the Loub “love flats”. I thought that they were perfect wedding shoes for me! Flat, kitschy, and fantastic.

There’s a problem with them, though. Do I really want to wear black shoes with my fabulous dress? I don’t think so, sadly.

Then came some amazing and awesome-possum news. Let me set the stage. It was the day before our engagement shoot, I was hella nervous and mulling through the Neiman Marcus shoe department. I suddenly thought about wearing the love flats for our engagement shoot! I grabbed the shoe dude that had asked to help me earlier, and asked if I could try them on in a 41. He said yes, did a little dip, military-turned and walked into the back. I flitted around for a little bit while he looked for the shoes. I was so super excited to try on *the* love flats!

He came out with a sad look on his face. “We don’t have them in 41. We’re out of all of them except this pair. We can order them for you.”

I made a sad face, began to nervously talk and blabbered out, “Oh, well, I-was-going-to-wear-them-to-our-engagement-shoot-tomorrow-so-you-don’t-need-to.” Breathe… “We’re getting married next June and I just really love those shoes and-”

“He’s coming out with these shoes in a white patent and cork.”

“He wha?”

“This shoe. In cork and white patent. It’s the exa-”

“Put me on a list. I need to be on a list. Is there a list? Can I reserve a pair?”

“Yes, just give me your information. We’ll probably send them out in January.”

“!!!”

So, ladies and gents, that is how I spastically found out that the Loub love flats are coming out in cork and white patent.

And that there is a pair out there with my name on it. I can’t wait for them to come in so that I can finally SEE THEM. They haven’t been released, apparently, and aren’t anywhere online yet. I guess they still are sekrats.

Did you freak out over a pair of possible wedding shoes? Anyone order crazy-ass shoes sight-unseen? What lengths did you go to (and levels of personal embarrassment!) to find the perfect shoes?
