Today, my parents lectured me for wanting to wear sneakers to a wedding. The wedding is on a farm. FML

so_this_is_me tells us more.

Just to clarify, the dress code was business casual but since it was on a farm, I was trying to choose comfortable, practical shoes that would not get totally ruined and that still looked nice which proved to be a bit of a challenge. After lots of shopping around and trying on many pairs of shoes, I found a pair of flats and I ended up wearing those. It did rain pretty heavily later so I ended up getting permission to change into shoes that I wouldn't mind getting muddy. This had absolutely nothing to do with entitlement, I was just trying to be practical :)

Somehow I doubt the wedding will be in the pig-pen. I can see why you might not want to wear stilettoes but unless it's been really wet then most other shoes are going to be fine.

You know, with enough stilettos and creative seating arrangements, the owners of that farm could get some nice aerated soil or holes for seeding!

If anything. Where boots. Dress casual boots. Granted this is coming from a guy who was born and raised in Georgia and boots are about all I wear. But if you don't want to wear dress shoes, go with some boots. Much more comfortable anyway.

I wore sandals to my own out door wedding... Don't feel bad OP

I seriously doubt the ceremony is being held in a crop field or animal pen. Roads and dirt tracks are compacted and the entire ground will not be covered in shit.

My uncle got married at a park by a lake. The invitation told everyone to bring their swimsuits, small watercraft, and food for the potluck reception. I spent most of the wedding barefoot!
