the most beautiful shoes in the world.
at about this time last year, before we met, i had turned in my resignation and planned a total life upheaval. he had finally moved on from an on again, off again thing. we both saw the most beautiful pair of red patent stilettos and coveted them like all get out. but i had quit my job and couldn't go around spending over $360 on a pair of designer shoes. besides, i didn't wear high heels. he wanted a woman who would wear shoes like that, but he had no one in his life and no one to buy them for.
fast forward, we meet. we're talking about how he loves high heels and i say i never wear them...but there are these one pair of shoes....
they were the same exact shoes. it was our cinderella moment, when the shoe fit and we knew we were meant to be.
one day, while we were traveling and had a few hours before he put me on a plane so we went shopping. i was looking at some shoes and he had some in his hand. all of a sudden his jaw dropped, he dropped everything in his hands, and walked straight towards the hidden corner of the room. it was the shoes. and they were 50% off. he held them up and my jaw dropped and i dropped everything in my hands. i tried them on but hemmed and hawed because they were still too expensive and i couldn't ask him to pay that much for shoes when we have bills to pay. so i got on a plane to new york, without my baby or the shoes.
the next day he went to go back and buy them. but a friend who lives in raleigh had taken us shopping and he had no idea where the store was. he called the company to find the location but was sent to the corporate offices. he drove around raleigh looking for this place for hours. he finally gave up and went to get some lunch. i happened to call him while he was eating. while we were talking, he looked up and right in front of him was the store. he quickly hung up and rushed over. he flung through all the boxes looking for my size before asking for help. he went to the salesperson and said "i need this shoe in....this size actually". the display was the last pair in my size. his friend had a coupon but he had forgotten to take it and he knew i wouldn't approve of him paying as much as they cost, so he told the salesperson the story of us meeting and cinderella, and yadda yadda but that i had gotten on a plane to new york with the coupon and he was only in town another day. the person asked the manager who said "save it, i heard the whole thing. tell her to enjoy the shoes."
besides them being the most beautiful and perfect shoes ever, they also mean something to us as a couple. he went to all that trouble to get these for me, all because of our clouds opening, glass slipper fitting, gigi moment. i keep them in the box wrapped in cloth bags and wear them for special occasions. they are so striking everybody says something about them. even men, who don't notice shoes (except the kinky ones), say wow nice shoes. i haven't put them on without at least a dozen people exclaiming how beautiful they are.
