[no problem with people who like contacts though, do what makes you comfortable] My fiancee and I both wear glasses, any other time we'd be happy to let our g33k flags fly… but we both think if there's a chance of make up running or tears or wind or anything, then contacts are probably a bad choice, so we've decided we'll let the photographer take some with them off, just to break up the more routine looking shots, but I need my glasses to see, and aside from wearing new frames that go with the decor, we're probably just going to wear glasses and if someone wants to take some shots with us half blind, then it's an option, but I don't like poking myself in the eye..

I don't know why, I'm just in love with it. And yes, they both look cute with the glasses. Lovely.

I have glasses too but I might be getting new frames because I have transitions and I don't want them changing for outdoor pictures (Even though we are getting married in October) I think I look better with glasses anyway!

My husband and I both wore our glasses to our wedding. His eyes are way worse than mine and he's had those glasses FOREVER and nothing else was ever considered. I love my frames, and I'm shy and I sort of like "hiding" behind them a little, so for me, it was a comfort factor in choosing to wear them. Plus, I'm a little hipster and I, well, love those frames! http://www.flickr.com/photos/4…602028427/

I had a few reasons for telling them no: 1) I wear glasses on a daily basis, so my wedding day is not a reason for it to be any different 2) I think I look better with my glasses than without 3) I'm not spend extra money unnecessarily for something that I could really could care less about wearing (contacts) and for something that isn't who I am 4) Again, I don't want to waste the money on something I'm only going to wear once.

I hop between them on any given day for all kinds of reasons - I elected to wear contacts on the day of the wedding because I felt like it when I got up that day, but I would have felt equally comfortable wearing my glasses - my husband didn't care which option I chose, and I had my glasses in my purse if I felt like changing at the reception.

I've been getting my glasses there for like 10 years and they are, in fact, fabulous. They've got a million styles of vintage and retro frames (I recommend just getting someone who works there to help you, since otherwise it will take hours!). They're really reasonably priced, too. Out of 5 or 6 pairs I've gotten there, only one cost more than $100, and those were incredible red, rhinestone-encrusted frames I got for prescription sunglasses.
