Dear Manolo: Shoes for the Pregnant Bridesmaid

Dear Manolo:

I'm a bridesmaid in a dressy wedding and, because I'm 27 weeks pregnant and a bit wobbly, I need a low, stable shoe. Strappy would be best for my swollen feet. Also, because they probably won't fit after I give birth, I don't want to spend much.

MANOLO SAYS, the Manolo has such sympathy for the pregnant ladies, especially those who must take part in some ritual that cannot be postponed and which undoubtedly involves much standing and perhaps even the out-of-control bridezilla who is worried that you will go into labor during the cake-cutting. "If you start to feel contractions, can you just squeeze it back until the first dance is over?"

It is the sincere belief of the Manolo that the pregnant ladies should not be obliged to participate in the weddings parties; indeed, it is the belief of the Manolo that the pregnant ladies should not even be obliged to walk. They should be carried from place to place on the palanquin, like Cleopatra.

Here is the Mari from the Circa from the Joan and David ($93, zappos.com), which is perfect for what you require.
