This Saturday, my sisters are throwing me a bridal shower all about shoes (you've seen the wedding shoes, right? ;) ) Well, they were my first and only pair of Manolos - and I think they are the most beautiful shoes in the world. You can read the story behind the shoes here. So for the shower - everyone was asked to wear their favorite pair of shoes! (and the invitation was an adorable stiletto - more shower details soon)
My mom is the type of lady who never does much for herself. She has always been the most selfless and giving person in the world. She is a beautiful woman with a compassionate & loving heart... I am so thankful for her. TL loves her dearly, as well... and tonight
he gave her a pair of Manolos for the wedding!
Aren't they beautiful?? They look stunning with her dress!
Needless to say, my sister, Juju, and I were both there when he gave them to her and it was SO special. We were all a little teary eyed as she carefully took them out of the white box and delicately put them on her feet. She never imagined herself wearing such beautiful shoes and has never owned anything like them her entire life. Lucky bride, lucky mom. It was so cute watching him wait for the package in the mail - he was so excited to give them to her.
There aren't many words to describe how special two pairs of shoes could be to a bride and her mother... but it sure says a lot about the groom.
