Glasses or contacts? *includes FLASH*

I have worn glasses for about 15 years. I have dabbled in contact lenses, but never really stuck to them. I just prefer the ease of use of glasses. I can't see much without them. The whole world goes rather blurry!

Do I wear glasses or contacts on my big day? I've looked at the UK lady who makes special wedding glasses and although they are awesome, they are very, very expensive and I couldn't see me wearing them again afterwards.

Then I found these ones:


I really like them, but they are still nearly £200. Contacts would be slightly cheaper, I think, but I'm not used to them, so I would have to get them in advance.

Any other glasses wearers out there with any advice? What do you think of the ones I've seen? Do you know anywhere that does particularly nice, yet cheap, glasses?

    I used to wear glasses all the time but a few years ago changed to contact lenses. I'll be wearing lenses and I agree with the thoughts about looking like your "normal self".

    However, for anyone wanting to wear contacts and worried about the length of time and eyes feeling irritated then I would strongly advise getting day and night lenses. You can wear them all day and all night for a whole month without taking them out! In fairness this is a maximum, and lots of people will need to take them out occasionally during the month to give their eyes a break - it depends on your individual level of irritation. But they are LOADS more comfortable than regular lenses, and great for holidays too! They are more expensive but great deals to be had online.
