This right here. 
Sorry but I just think its tacky. We all know we love sneakers obviously. That's why we're here talking about them. But there is a time and place for everything and IMO a formal event (especially a wedding) is not one of them. I just think its one of those things that you think its cool now, then a couple years down the line you'll say to yourself why the hell did I do that.

I can respect those who say it's tacky or that a formal event isn't the place to wear some Jordans. There's nothing as fresh as a crisp tux and some white or black patent oxfords. To be honest, I had second thoughts about doing it, but my wife actually encouraged me to do it and finalized my decision. I will say this: it takes a special wife and special families to pull it off. The last thing I wanted was for people to be offended or think that I wasn't taking things seriously, but in the end it was great and everyone knew that the special kicks were a part of who we are.

To each his own, but I'm happy my feet were comfy and fresh for 7 hours.

By confining yourselves to the traditional or customary, you automatically eliminate the "special" factor in your wedding.

I could get married barefoot on a beach if thatl be the most memorable way.. I'd take unorthodox and unique over ORDINARY any day.

But then again, to each his own.. some of us still prefer safe and conservative.

Nice, im doing the same thing for when i get married. I'm wearing dmp 11's, and buying my groomsmen 09 Jams. Yes, very costly.

I'm not wearing them in the church though. You better not think you can walk into an Orthodox church with sneakers. I couldnt even get away with that when i was a kid.
