Sounds to me like this rule was introduced about 12 months ago - after series 3 of Game of Thrones finished.

Game of Thrones? I've heard of it, but not sure what the relevance is? :huh:

The infamous 'Red Wedding' scene at the end of the last episode I would guess. (The bride's family murdered 95% of the groom's family)

Married in white, you have chosen right.
Married in green, ashamed to be seen.
Married in grey, you'll go far away.
Married in red, you'll wish yourself dead.
Married in blue, your love will be true.
Married in yellow, you're ashamed of your fellow.
Married in black, you'll wish yourself back.
Married in pink, your spirits will sink.
Married in brown, you'll live out of town.
Married in pearl and you'll live in a whirl.

I wore red, yellow 'and' white at my wedding :eek:

Thanks poppycracker. I've never watched it, and so it was puzzling me!

This can't date back very far because it's only in recent generations that most families could afford a special wedding dress. Most brides wore their "best" dress so it could be any colour at all.

I was taught 'Red shoes, no knickers' :eek::eek:

Many years ago my mum told me that prostitutes wore red shoes :rotfl:. That may have been true, I guess (a way of advertising, so to speak) but I personally don't care about such things. I love red shoes!

This made me laugh so much! I adore red shoes but I was never allowed to buy a pair as my mum said the exact same thing. After I got my own place I eventually bought a gorgeous pair, wore them out to a works do and was promptly asked if I was heading on to my 'second job' after the party. It appears mum is always right!

So, What cup size are you now? lol

Only joking. I think you should just hire a dress, they don't cost much

Perhaps they were thinking you were going to wear this red dress?

Wear what ever colour you want apart from white I think, we have 12 days to go until our wedding we don't care what people wear now. We just want it here.
