Mrs. Parasol, San Ramon, California Age and Occupation: 25, Non-profit writer, editor, and blogger Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Law school student Engagement Date: December 19th, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Bent Creek Winery (Livermore, California); Reception: Family Residence (San Ramon, California) About Me: I am a California girl at heart. I love the outdoors, sunny days at the beach, and hiking in the woods and mountains. I also love good books and am fresh from completing my Master's degree in English and Comparative Literature in New York City. Living in NYC was an amazing experience, and while I'm glad to be back on the West Coast, I'm also thankful that my two years back East gave me an opportunity to explore new places, make new friends, and indulge my passion for Broadway shows. Oh, and I received a pretty awesome proposal from Mr. Parasol in Central Park. Above all else, Mr. Parasol is my biggest cheerleader and my best friend. But even though I'm thrilled to be marrying him, I wasn't always totally on board with this whole wedding thing and at first, I wanted to run off and elope. I've finally been convinced to throw the wedding I never thought I wanted, and so now I'm busy planning an intimate September wedding filled with DIY details. Along the way, I'm slowly learning to appreciate, perhaps even love the wedding planning process.

So…

I bought my wedding shoes!

Aren’t they just lovely? I’m so glad I listened to those of you who told me to “keep looking!” I was feeling really discouraged, and I thought that I would never find the perfect pair of patent leather pink flats. But sometimes things happen when you least expect them!

While out shopping for Sister Parasol’s MOH shoes, she stumbled across this pair and insisted I try them on. Within seconds, we both agreed that they were absolutely perfect for me. I’m so excited to wear these on my wedding day, and I know that they will look amazing in the photographs and add a nice splash of color to my wedding-day look.

Thanks for sticking with me on my wedding-shoe journey, and I so appreciate all the suggestions and feedback I have gotten from all of you along the way. Though I’m really thankful that I can finally cross “find the perfect pair of bridal flats” off of my to-do list!

What aspect of wedding planning or putting together your wedding-day look gave you the biggest headache? Did you ever find something perfect when you least expected to?
