Recommendations for rare dress shoe wearer?

Hello all,

I have a couple of formal weddings coming up this year and am thinking of buying some oxfords, but I do not see myself wearing them outside of two to four events every year going forward. I know Allen Edmonds' Park Avenue are a standard yet the price seems a little high for such infrequent use. I also have some concerns about how they might hold up if I get caught in the rain and if having high arches would cause problems. Would Saunders, Orban's, or Bridlen be better options?

Thank you in advance for any advice.
