| Interestingly, in some rural parts of Germany black was the traditional colour of wedding dress. I think it was so that it could afterwards become the Sunday Best. Certainly white wasn't much en vogue until the mid/late nineteenth century. I don't suit white, so I got married in burgundy. :D Author Reply: One of my dear friends married in a red, black and white full Elizabethan,complete with farthingale, and it was gorgeous. I think it was Queen Victoria that started the tradition of the white wedding dress inEnglish speaking countries. | |

| Sweet story, hehehe! And you have understated nicely what must have been the worst, the very worst bit of this nightmare wedding - the pink dress. Urgh! And I thought I had come up with the worst possible wedding dress... Author Reply: I chose pink mainly because of Rosa's nameflower. But I didn't want to do the traditional "white" wedding gown. That's a very modern tradition actually. (Oh, that wedding dress in your story sounded dreadful! I was imagining something stiff and vaguely Tudor/Elizabethan in style! And BLACK lace! *shudder* Poor Finduilas! It was probably that dress that sent her into a depression!) | |

| Fascinating what a simple date in the family tree can bring forth! :) Well, considering the age of the bride, the scenario is more than believable. And of course, the different reactions were fun! Of course they now had to have a big wedding, just to show there's no reason to hide ;) And it was great how you managed to include the first meeting of Bungo and Belladonna! Author Reply: Yes, Dana and I talked about it over two years ago. And we wondered then if that might be when Bungo and Belladonna met. | |
