Me and My FH dare to be different. We love stickin out and not doing the norm, so we are having our groomsmen wear converse instead of the normal white tux shoes ...I Love it!! Your thoughts

    We're jealous of you!

    FH and I really wanted to do converse for the men, but his parents reacted extremely negatively. Apparently, in Venezuela, only the poor working class and uniformed school children wear converse shoes so his dad said something like, "if you make me wear those I won't come to your wedding" and his mom said "I will give you a kidney, but I will never wear those shoes."

    We were stunned, FH because he left Venezuela when he was too young to care about those sort of things... and Me because here in Northern America, converse can run upwards of $50-80 depending on the style, so definitely not the "poor workers" shoe at all.

    In fact, my dad loves them and has worn them ever since high school because he played basketball and All-Stars used to be the shoe every high school and college basketball player wore to be "in."

    It's amazing how something as simple as a shoe brand can be viewed in different cultures. Sad we can't do it, but I bet your pics will be awesome!
