Height Difference, Anyone?

Megan, on April 26, 2017 at 11:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15

My FH is 5'5" and I am 5'7". I don't plan on wearing heels and I know he will have a little heel on his dress shoe, but did anyone else have this sort of height difference? Was it an issue for either of you? I'm tempted to say something to my photographer so she is conscience about it while taking pictures, but Am I being too dramatic?

    Who cares about the height difference? No one. Everyone will be so focused on celebrating your love.

    Not even a big deal, honestly y'alls difference is not that significant and nobody will be paying attention to the little difference that there is. I am 4'10" and my FH is 6'0", I am wearing a heel for dancing and such but we will have that height difference for the rest of our lives, not worth worrying about it!

    I sort of understand how you feel because my FH is an inch taller than me (he says he's 5'-6"...) so when I wear heels I'm taller. I don't care, I'm marrying him obviously, but I don't like feeling big.

    That being said, I'm looking for kitten heels for the wedding. Also, I met one of his friends for the first time at his own wedding, and that guy is a couple inches shorter than his wife in bare feet. I know that he buys dress shoes with a thicker heel than usual (only because he pouted it out) and he may even wear lifts of some sort. My FH at times wears thick Dr Scholls type things in his shoes when we're dressing up and I'm in heels.

    I am also a little taller than my FH but it doesn't bother him. I am wearing heels for the wedding and probably switch to flats for the reception.

    My FH is 5'2 and I am 5'7. We have been together long enough and are comfortable enough with each other that it is not a problem, and I don't plan on treating our wedding day any differently. Smiley smile Given that you are within two inches of each other's height, it should make absolutely no difference to your photographer. The way I see it is if my photographer is able to photograph a couple where the man is 5 inches taller, why should it be a problem to photograph a couple where the woman is 5 inches taller? I used to be insecure about this but it is something that literally neither of us can change, and it just started to feel pointless to worry about. I hope you and your FH have a wonderful day, and I'm sure that the height difference will be the last thing on your mind when you're celebrating the day together. Smiley smile

    I don't think you are being dramatic at all! It's your pictures, let them know whatever you want. If you are more worried about what other ppl think, don't! No one really cares! My cousin is 5'6" and his wife is 5'8" and she wore 3" heels on her wedding day because that's what she wanted and she looked amazing. Everyone loved all their wedding pictures and never gave a thought to the height difference!

    I'm 5'5'' and my husband is 5'3''. I wore flats and his shoes had a bit of a lift. I was still a bit taller than him. I actually don't like the photos where the photographer tried to hide it. I look like I'm slouching and uncomfortable. The photos where we are just positioned naturally, are my favorite. It's us. I'm taller than him. We know it and so does everyone else. Embrace it.

    I'm 5'7", DH is 5'5". I wore flats on my wedding day. I use my man as a convenient excuse to not wear heels when in reality, I can't walk in heels lol. DH says he likes that I can reach things higher up on the shelf. Own that height difference, girl!
