This one's especially for the 'Tutong' couples. When you decide to go with a specific tradition on your wedding day be sure to ‘Wear appropriate shoes’.
One example I’m referring to is the ‘Basuh Kaki’ tradition which is done by the people in Brunei’s Tutong District. Basically, through my understanding, it is the part where anyone attending (guests, friends, family..anyone at all) the wedding who wishes to give the newly weds gifts in forms of cash (most preferable! hehhe), gold, jewellery, keys to a brand new car, land title deeds (very extreme), can come up to the couple, pour a cup of water over their feet, wish them well (or even take the mickey out of them!) and then leave their ‘gift’ in a tray or whatever container they have ready….all in the contribution to wish the newly weds a great start to their new life together as husband and wife. Pretty COOL..!! hehhehe..then at the end after the last person has come forward, the grand total of cash and other items given is announced for everyone to hear. (don’t ask me why..it’s just tradition..???)
So..coming back to my point, if you know that you will have to remove your shoes and then put them back on again, to save time and to cut down any 'fuss' stress, I would suggest wearing shoes that you can easily slip on and off by yourself. Coz y'knw what will happen if you wear those tiny buckle on strappy heels, someone's going to have to get on their knees to unhook and fasten your your shoes for you ...making it look like you soooo didn't take things into consideration...well..that's what I would be thinking at least.. :p I guess I'm simply impatient with things that shouldn't normally take so damn long...hahaha
oh and also don't wear stockings...looks funny when wet, makes the pictures look like you're hiding some kind of foot flaw!..hehehe. A pedicure and a nice henna art on the feet would look more festive, in my opinion.
