ADVICE | ask M Famous M Famous
Mr M Famous, I am really seeking an outsider's opinion. I am 52 years old
and getting married for the second time in May. My fiancé is 7 years younger than me and has never been married. I love that his family and friends are thrilled to take part in our wedding, but in doing so, the event has become quite traditional in nature. I am comfortable with many of the traditions, but I draw the line at a garter/bouquet toss. Do you have any other thoughts on a special "non-traditional tradition" that we could use to end our wedding reception?
Answer: I completely understand why that part of the wedding celebrations may make you feel uncomfortable. Keep in mind that it is your wedding, and you can do as you like. Instead of tossing the bouquet and garter, try a different tradition that is actually becoming popular. If your parents are able to be there, ask them to join you and your new husband in the first dance...here is the twist that is sure to bring a tear or two to the eyes of your
guests...play the song that they danced to during their first dance. Also, ask his parents to join as well. I love a wedding that embraces the joining of families. If your children are there, have them come and join in about half way through and encourage the rest of the guests to accompany you as well. Not only will this give you a great memory for your second wedding, but it will also give him a great memory of his first wedding. You don't want him to feel that the wedding is less important than your first. After all, in his eyes this is his first and last! I just love “LOVE.”
Great question and congrats, Mr M Famous
Mr. M Famous, My oh my, how I need your help. The wedding plans are
under way and the excitement is building. My fiancé and I are sticking to all the wedding timelines. So, I have chosen my dress, and the time has come to place the order. Here's the problem - to heel or not to heel. My fiancé and I are basically the same height, and on any given day or evening, I have no problem being taller than him when I wear my heels. BUT, this is my wedding day. These pictures are going to be around FOREVER! I just want to be shorter for 1 day! So, while I despise flats, I am considering wearing them just this once. My dilemma is obvious - suck it up and wear the flats or wear my heels and deal with being taller just like every other day.
Thanks a bunch!
A: I feel like this is the point where I am supposed to say something completely “PC” like…oh, love isn’t measured in height, however I know all too well why this is such an issue with both women as well as men. As a 6 foot 7 man, I have never had an issue with anyone feeling “too tall” around me. I have a few tips that you can try and thus achieve your goals. Any good photographer should be able to photograph you both in a way that will definitely keep you looking like the more petite partner. So, don’t even consider not wearing heels! Actually I
think that you both should. After you finish gasping, let me explain. Consider the product called “Invisible Men’s Heels” Not kidding! These shoes (that come in all different styles) have the ability to raise your hubby by those extra few inches thus keeping him taller than you. The best part is from that the outside the shoes look completely normal and will not leave him feeling embarrassed.
