The Great Wedding Shoe Search of 2011

Where have I been?  Well... I've been working, cleaning, looking for the perfect wedding shoes, trying to lose weight, working some more, looking for the perfect wedding shoes (again), partying with friends, spending quality time with The Man, enjoying life, picking up my wedding dress, ordering what I thought was my perfect wedding shoes, dropping off my wedding dress for alteration,  ordering Grooms/Ring bearer ties, looking at wedding favors, receiving what I thought was my perfect wedding shoes only to find out they arent, deciding on a menu, and then resuming the Great Wedding Shoe Search of 2011.  Good Times. 

This is what I ordered and this is what didn't quite come as expected, nor did they look good.

Here's my dilemma: Strappy sandals can hurt and cause blisters.  Peep toe's don't work with the high arch in my foot (my toes dont quite make it to the peep toe), Slingbacks can cause that flip flop noise, the perfect shoe that I find is $150, the not so perfect, not sure I like it shoe is $60.  The other perfect shoe that I found is in Ivory, not white. I want comfort but I want gorgeous.  I am locked into the 3 1/2 inch heel because its too late to change the alterations and honestly, I'm fine with a 3 1/2 in heel because that is my standard heel height that I wear to work every day.  I want a Mary Jane/Spectator Pump style.  Something fun!  Something classy!  Something that makes my feet look cute and doesnt butcher them, making me take my shoes off as soon as I say I Do. 

This is what I've fallen in love with and just can't justify the cost:

I have searched the internets high and low for a less expensive Martinez Valero and I had no luck.  Maybe they weren't meant to be?  But they are so perfect....and while they aren't Mary Janes/Spectators, I would take these in a heart beat... unless I come across my most perfect pair of White Mary Janes with a 3 1/2 in heel. 

Im getting whiny and a whiny Mindy is no bueno.  I found the perfect dress!  Now where are my damn perfect shoes (within my budget, of course).  Help!!
