Kirei -> RE: Red WEdding Dress??? (8/7/2008 7:31:10 PM)

Thanks everybody!
And yes, I have Japanese invitations and although the wedding will take place in a church, the decor will be heavily influenced by Japanese culture. My fiance is fine with my idea to wear a red dress and will even wear a red tie to match =>
The reason I want to wear red is not only because it is the traditional wedding color in many Asian countries (and some African cultures as well - and i am black), but because the color really embodies who I am, more so than a white dress would. White gowns are very "princess" and red gowns are very "queen." When i see brides in white dresses, I think of cute, girlie, bubbly brides with high pitched voices who like pink and have been dreaming about their wedding day since they were five. And there is nothing wrong with that, but that's just not who I am.
When I see brides in red dresses, I think of a woman with purpose, a woman who is bold, diligent, confident, sensual (only with her husband of course!), a woman who is able to be taught and take instruction, but also one who is unafraid to step up to the plate if need be...
That's me.
Red is really the only color that I feel would accurately portray the woman that my fiance has decided to commit his life to =>
But I do understand that the tradition of a white dress is the prevailing standard in the US. So, I will just have to work a lot harder to find my perfect red dress =>
I appreciate the links!
