I attended a wedding few days ago, a
little girl whispered to me Aunty, why is
the bride dressed in white? I said
because white is the colour of
happiness and today is one of the
happiest day of her life" the child thought about it 4 a moment, then
said, so why is the groom wearing
black? :) I look at her and was dumbfounded.Actually, i was lost of words of how to reply, esp in Nigeria where people belief black implies something BAD or EVIL. I know the colour of your wedding wear does not implies a happy marriage, but the truth is, am just curious to no why people use those colors(white for the gown, black for coat). Besides, if you were in my situation, how will you reply the girl???
