Shoes on eBay?
By Tara Roberts on Thu, Jun 25, 2009
Continuing with the saving on your wedding theme… It’s time for the all-important shoes.
Now, I say “all-important” because I know shoes are crazy important to the wedding ensemble for most women.
But first, I have a confession to make — Shoes are not my area. I wore sneakers to my wedding. New Adidas, blue and silver. No shame about that. I walk like Godzilla in heels and I wanted to be comfortable on my wedding day.
However, since $40 running shoes probably aren’t on most brides’ lists, I figure I should suggest some ways to buy pretty, girlie, strappy things for a good price.
A co-worker of mine once suggested a great idea — buy expensive shoes on eBay. With a little patience you can find amazing deals.
Example: Pop culture tells me that Manolo Blahniks are pretty fancy shoes. Here’s a pair on eBay for a whopping $50, and they look to be in fine shape.
Unfortunately, eBay is about the only place I know to save on fancy shoes. But there has to be more! Time for your suggestions, readers!

I recently ran across this site where it allows you to look for typos on eBay. I used it to buy my playstation 3 (some guy had misspelled it as plaTstation 3 hehe) sso i got really lucky.
I reckon it should work prety well for shoes too…give it a go and let us know of any funny typos LOL

Have you in your life attended a wedding and have felt bad for the groom simply because he selected the biggest boneheaded buddy to be the best man. It happened to me, we went a very upscale wedding reception and the Best Man’s speech was so awful that it was scary that this person was the groom’s best friend. After they uncovered the best man, he got up to the mic and provided this speech: “This couple, Bill and Monica are great and I hope their life is filled with fulfillment and all those things that make a marriage great.” This is what you will get when you don’t plan a speech. When I got married couple of years later I didn’t want my best man to be the subject of chat for years into the future so I sent him this guide http://www.bestmanspeech.largestnetwork.com on how to write a best man speech. It relieved the tension and his speech was delightful, relaxed and poignant.
