Weddingbee boards

I was reading a post earlier and realized there seems to be many brides on here about my size! I am 5'11" and have been tall my entire life and always been athletic and weight always varried but I am at my adult normal size 10/12!! I always dated guys taller than me cause I always loved wearing my 3 inch shoes! Not anymore, the love of my life happens to be 5'9"! So I will be wearing sandals and Ballet flats for my wedding! :) Here is a picture of our height difference...Not too bad! Let's see pictures of you and yours!

I forget I am tall too! My mom is my height and when we go places together we get lots of stares! I love being tall! I was 5"9" for as long as I can remember, middles school, high school, then in college I grew an inch and somehwere in my upper 20's grew an inch!

@stine_white

I am also upset about the killer wedding shoes! Thinking I am going to wear heals to at least one wedding function that he will not be there! Like a shower! :)

I'm 5'10" and actually the shortest one in my family!  My FH is the same height as me in stocking feet, so I'm going with ballet flats and he's looking for tux shoes with a little extra sole. :)

@charismaclassic

We are doing the same! Fiance is wearing Cowboy Boots and I am wearing ballet flats! That will make up our 2 inch difference! :)

I'm 5'8" and 125 and I'm the short fat one in my family (yea...my brothers are like 6'5" and 170 grrr!) My man is 5'9" so I'm looking for ballet flats with ribbons to tie around your legs for my wedding-day shoes :) i'm super excited.  I do wear heels sometimes and I enjoy being taller than him (and like all of my other friends).  It's fun :)

@smitha5 - I wonder if I can get mine to agree to that!  Somehow, I doubt it. :)

@duck - It's good to know I'm not alone in that!

We're also having to be a little creative with the processional, etc. since my 6'1" sister looks rather strange standing next to the 5'7" best man. 

I always thought I'd end up with someone taller, but most of the men I've dated have been about my height, some an inch or so shorter.  I think when we first started dating and I would wear heels it bothered him, but now he's over it.  Thank goodness - I love my heels.  Just not for the wedding!

I always wore heels and my father always hated it! He is shorter than me and mom! My brother is also my height! So walking down the aisle I will be taller than my dad and leaving I will be taller than my groom! But i would not change being tall for the world! I LOVE IT!

I'm 5' 10" and my FI is 5' 11".  So I will be wearing flats for our wedding.  He actually usually wears thicker shoes than me so he seams even taller.

I'm 6'0-1" (slouch matters) and the man is 6'2". Aside from my boyfriend in high school (who was the same height as me at the time) he is the shortest guy I ever dated. My average used to be 6'5"+ because I do NOT like towering over my guy.

That said, I'm wearing ballet flats like so many other of the tall Bees.

We're pretty much the same height but I always rock heels! He doesnt mind!

I am 5'11 and about 120pds. Or as my sister likes to say the stick figure w/ boobs. My FI is 5'11 too and always loves me in heels. So I am usually either 2-6 inches taller than him. I am wearing flats for the day, because I want to be able to look him straight in the eyes when I say I do. He could care less, prolly prefer me in heels. I also plan on dancing and drinking the night away and want really, really comfertable flats.

I am 5'6 and my FI swears to be 5'6 too but he is about the same height. its hard to wear heels because i feel like a giant. i am going to rock them anyways for the wedding but i am nervous about our pictures. as soon as the ceremony is over i plan on switching to flats (so my feet dont take a beaten)

i am so in love with him and he loves me in heels lol

not the best pictures of us lol but you can see where i look a lil taller. those shoes that look like heels are actually flats. Also, i have learned to work my legs to where if i bend my knee a little i can get to the same height as him. lol i have all of these tricks when we take a picture.

I am 6'6".  My DH is 5'7 -- maybe.  There's no bending, slouching or anything that is gonna take care of that.  So I wear my heels, because why not?

 My grandparents were tall on both sides (grandmas 5'8 and 5'10, grandpas both 6' +) and my 6'2 mom married my 6'7 dad because she "couldn't stand" dating a shorter guy.  Most of my family, male and female is over 5'10.  With all due respect to the ladies that feel they can't date a shorter guy, at 6'6 I didn't really have that option. 

Honestly I figured when we started dating that the "novelty" would wear off and we'd eventually part ways because people do stare, comment, and in general make total a@@ of themselves.  Someone once thought my husband was my son! (He is older than I am by several years and actually has grey hair!)

Instead we fell in love.  Yes people still make comments, but as the other ladies said, they make comments no matter who you're with!

@KLP2010: Ha h, I know what you mean!  I'm a v-ball player too.  And my 6'7 brother plays tennis :), my 6'4 uncle plays baseball and my 6'8 cousin is in a rock band and doesn't play any sports at all except maybe on the Wii LOL.

My Mom, however has the perfect line to counter the "do you play basketball" question.  She looks the person in the eye and says, "Why no, do you play minature golf?"

 But the best comment ever came from my 5'2 best friend.  We were walking down a street and out of nowhere this older man grabs me and screams "OMG, you're soooo TALL.  How tall are you???" Really obnoxious, plus he would not let go of my arm.  She turned to him and said in an equally loud and obnoxious tone, "OMG you're so FAT, how much do you weigh??"  Then whips out the cell phone, points to his hand on my arm, and says "That's assault & battery, I'm calling the cops!" I was mortified, but at least the guy finally let go of my arm!

I'm 5'10" and my FI is 6'2". I'm wearing ballet flats not only so that I remain shorter than my FI but also so that my dress isnt't too short. If I wanted to wear heals, I would have had to pay extra to add length to my dress.  I'm fine with wearing ballet flats, so I had no problem not having to pay extra for my dress.

I'm 5'11". Wearing my wedding shoes I was 6'2" - just the same size as DH :)
