Going to a friend's wedding in a few weeks. The couple are mid 50s/60ish. Ceremony at registry office followed by lunch in a local restaurant.
I cannot wear heels anymore due to weak ankles and dodgy feet. I have smartish flatform trainers which would go well with wide leg trousers and they would be mostly covered. Can't afford to buy new shoes. I do have some beautiful wedge heel brogues but they are quite high. WIBU to wear the flats?

Could you post a picture or link?

I have to say at my wedding there was no dress code and it was very relaxed (I wore flip flops!) but most people did get into the spirit of it and wore nice dresses etc with flat sandals or wedges.

There were a couple of adults in trainers and they did stand out and it looked a bit off. Kids wore them and it looked alright.

It's fine to wear trainers no one is looking at your feet as long your comfortable it doesn't matter

What's the worst that could happen if you wear clean trainers?
If anyone remarks on it just say it's for your dodgy ankles.

Of course not. If it were my wedding I'd want you to be comfortable. Honestly no one will notice and you'll have a much better time if you can still walk at the end of the night!
