"Shoe Style X"

Hi Guys....we haven't gone shoe shopping this month and I thought we would do a little something different today....last week my co-worker Molly came over to me and told me that she had been taking a tour of the "cafe"....she said that she loved the images of the "feet" in the wedding photos and how cute she thought they were...Molly even went so far to say to me and I quote..."I want to get married just so I can have a picture of the shoes!"...she cracked me up...how cute is that...so Molly.....if you are visiting the "cafe" today...this post is dedicated to YOU....and guys...you all know the procedure...let me know which couple has your favorite pair....Enjoy!!!
