Today, I received the heels I'll be wearing at my best friend's wedding. The bride ordered them for us to match the dresses. They're six-inch platform heels. I have three broken toes and am still wearing a boot. The wedding is next weekend. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my wedding day. I broke a toe on the couch while turning on the lights in the hotel room. FML
Today, my shoe fell apart a few minutes after I got to work. I called my boyfriend and asked him to bring me the "pretty black pair" in my closet. What did he bring? Black stilettos. I'm a waitress with an eight-hour shift. FML
Today, I sprained my ankle trying to prove that I can walk in high heels. FML
Today, I tried a new workout routine at the gym. I was feeling great until I dropped a big-ass weight on my foot and had to go to the hospital. After hours of waiting, the doctor told me that I had a broken toe and would need to wear a cast for six weeks. The worst part? I have a job interview next week. FML
Today, I had the rehearsal for two of my friends' wedding. My ex-husband is also in the wedding, and I just found out we have to walk down the aisle together 'for height reasons'. FML
Today, I went out wearing the highest heels I had, but was nervous about falling because I'm such a klutz. I got through the night without any injuries, so I changed into the sneakers I had brought with me to walk home. I tripped right outside my house in my sneakers and broke my ankle. FML
Today, you know those videos where catering staff accidentally drop the wedding cake in front of the bride, groom, and guests. Well I’m now that idiot. I’m also now in a cast on crutches because the bride kicked me in the leg with her heels so hard she snapped a bone. FML
Today, my fiancé has one leg shorter than the other after it was half blown off in the army, and his specially made wedding suit was delivered. They got the leg lengths the wrong way round. The wedding is in two days and he may have to wear his pants backwards. FML
Today, I was the bridesmaid for my dad and stepmum's wedding. As I was walking down the aisle, I tripped and fell over my high heels, hit my head on the armrest of a wooden chair on the way down, then passed out. I now have a concussion and a broken ankle. The wedding went on without me. FML
Today, I fell down my backyard steps at my own housewarming party, ended up breaking my ankle, and am now non-weight bearing for 10 weeks. I'm supposed to start a new job tomorrow, where I'm always on my feet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hopefully, she's not a total Bridezilla and won't get mad at you for "stealing her attention".

Don't worry, the other women wearing the heels will feel like they have three broken toes once the night is over.

Consider yourself lucky not having to wear such killer shoes! Too bad about your toes though but at least now you have a good excuse not to be tortured. Shoes are really made for walking in, not painfully balancing in. Good luck!

SIX inch? Holy shit.... .__.

I'd stay in the boot, OP. For the concern of you healing your foot, don't do that unnecessary challenge.

Stay in the boot. You really don't want to be messing up your feet any further and causing permanent damage. You can certainly decorate the boot, though. =)

Does the bride happen to spend most of her evenings on a brass pole? Because that's the only reason I can think of to warrant the use of six inch platform heels.

A really long dress? A tall bride who doesn't want to tower over people in the photos?

Most shoes with a heel that high have a slight platform on the sole to compensate for the heel height. I have a very classy pair of Steve Maddens with a six inch heel and a platform and they definitely are not stripper shoes.

Rock the boot! YLS for having a bridezilla friend.

Simply tell the bride you aren't able to wear the shoes. Pretty simple solution!!!! YDI

How the hell is this a YDI?

Presumably this has actually been the plan for a while unless she's ridiculously last minute about things. It's a shame you won't be able to wear the shoes but you'll just have to go with flats. Hopefully you are wearing a long dress that will cover the boot in pictures!

THAT is your compliant? not your broken toes?

I'm pretty sure she's upset about her toes being broken as well, but at the time being, her friend being unreasonable takes precedence over the toes.

What is her friend rig unreasonable about? Unless the outfits were planned out after she broke her toes the bride didn't do anything wrong and seeing how you need to order everything in advance for a wedding the shoes were probably ordered before the toes were broken and arrived after. It's not like she's being forced to wear them
