Everyone is asking about our first dance...Im 5'1 and my husband to-be is 6'5...do you think i should wear some 5inch heels to wear...I just got engaged and our date is 7/24/10...so this is all new to me...

thxs alot.
thxs guys.
we havent went out dancing before but i did want to take a dance course just for fun...
 
I think your guests already know that you're short and he's tall. Don't worry about it. So, when you dance you will be staring at the middle of his chest or his navel. Oh well. So you cuddle while dancing.

Have fun with it and don't worry about how it looks to others.

I once dated a guy who was 6' 8". It took me awhile to figure out when I hug him my arms have to go around his waist and not up on his shoulders. You figure things out and work with what you have. LOL.

Oh...and if anyone teases you about the height difference, just give them a seductive look and say "you know why I fell in love with a tall man? Because EVERYTHING is in proportion." And then walk away while their jaw is still hitting the ground. Lucky woman you!!
 
If you are comfortable in 5in heels ( I am not) then by all means wear them. Otherwise, who cares what people think. You will be marrying your sweetie. Congrats on your nuptials!
 
I am getting married october 22nd 2009 I am 5 foot tall, he is 5'10 (at least) I am going to end up wearing flats (I have the smallest feet and can't find any shoes yet) I really don't care that my head will be at his chest (not even really) I figure what are they going to say...wow you are short...like I needed help to figure that one out. I figure people can do and say whatever, have the 2 of you ever danced before? I am going to hope at least one, I don't see why this is any different.
 
Five inch heels plus the weight of a wedding dress will not be comfortable. Don't do it. Wear heels that you are comfortable with and maybe make sure your fiance doesn't wear any shoes that give him a little extra height. (Some men's dress shoes have a little lift)

Other than that...don't worry about it. You'll be fine with your current height. Don't let others pressure you into anything you don't want for your wedding.
 
I am in about the same situation that you are in. I am getting married in 2 weeks. My fiancee is 14 inches taller than me. I am wearing flats to the wedding. I like the height difference. I think the pictures will look cute with the height difference.
 
I am 5'2, my (now) husband is 6'2. I was going to go with super high heels like your idea, but then a bridal consultant told me not to.

1- it will be SUPER uncomfortable and painful all day
2- high risk of tripping on underlayers of dress when walking (embarrasing and risky to walk down the aisle)
3- everyone knows how tall you both are, so it seems silly to try to boost yourself up for a day

I ended up going with proper bridal shoes, but with the tallest heel available which was 3 3/4". They were super comfy shoes and we didn't look wierd at all. Pro photographers know how to compensate for things like this.
 
5" heels are not comfortable. Don't worry too much about this. Everyone can talk all they want but you shouldn't let it bother you. You fell in love with the person and not the fact that he is over a foot taller than you.
