The same goes is something accidentally tears.
Practice the walk
Golf courses can be full of surprises, and you might not be used to walking on the grass in heels. Even though you can lay a rug to make an aisle, you should still practice your walk in your wedding shoes and gown. Take it easy and get your feet ready for anything. The ground might be unstable, so consider having medium height heels that are steady.
