Nice Day for a White Wedding

This passed Saturday I attended a wedding to whom was for Chicken's cousin, Chris, and his fiance, Moriah. This particular wedding, however, was not white. It was green. Therefore, the bride wore green down the aisle, she wore green as she said her vows, she wore green as she kissed the groom, and yes, she wore green throughout the whole entirety of the reception. Green. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate hate green. In fact, during the early life identity crisis of grade 6, green happened to be my most favorite color. And I do believe, that I had an entire lime green outfit which consisted of a lime green turtle neck sweater and lime green and grey pants. This is very much beside the fact that the bride chose to wear a very untraditional color for her wedding gown. Alas, hasn't white been the traditional color for not only the wedding gown, but weddings in general for as long as one can remember? Obviously, that has been for good reason! I might say that I was slightly outraged. White stands for purity, and a new beginning with one's counterpart. In that case, what on earth does green mean? The Grinch Who Stole the Wedding? Lucky St. Wedding Day? Oscar de la Grouch? Seriously! Being a new found fan of the "perfect wedding day", I do believe that I am slightly biased. I mean, there are plenty different types of wedding gowns, right? For example, for an East Indian ceremony, the bride would wear bright red for her gown. In Japan, a kimono perhaps? Gwen Stefani wore a white dress that faded to hot pink for her wedding. But who am I kidding here? She still wore white! If the bride felt so inclined to wear green for her wedding, why did she not choose to wear a nice lacey fitted gown? Which had a statin green stash at her waste, tied in a luscious bow, and fell to the floore with the train of her dress in the back? And could have had that same green for her bride's maids dresses? Why?!
The moral of this reading is to keep one's wedding, simply traditional, and classy -- or else blogs such as this will surface around the internet just as a bad Paris Hilton video.
Thank you, & good-day.
