    I can't decide!!

    As some of you know, Dorrz and I have moved things forward and are getting married in October this year (wahoooooo!) and having a small, intimate ceremony. I'd decided on a purple chinese dress as my favourite colour is purple. However, a patient's relative told me recently that it was bad luck for a bride to wear purple as it is associated with funeral colours :0(

    HEEEEEELLPPPP! Now I don't know what to do! I still want the same style dress, but do I still go for the purple or choose emerald green. (Whenever I wear green, I always get loads of compliments) Pictures of the dresses are on my profile, would be greatful for any comments :0)

    I've seen your purple dress Cakey, and it's b loody gorgeous. Ignore the superstitions - every country in the world has different ones any way!

    And there's that rhyme that pretty much means that you're screwed whatever colour you pick.. May have to go find it, I know it's been posted before..

    Here it is! Proof, if proof were needed, that all these sorts of superstitions are bo llocks and should be ignored!

    Married in White, you have chosen right,
    Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
    Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
    Married in Brown, you will live in town,
    Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
    Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
    Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
    Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
    Married in Grey, you will go far away,
    Married in Black, you will wish yourself back

    I think both dresses are gorgeous colours, pick which one you want to wear the most and feel the best in and ignore superstition. Colours mean different things all over the world so follow your gut x

    I saw your dress earlier hun and i LOVE it!
    Isay wear it if thats your fav colour. Besides its not that dark a purple so should'nt be classed as funeral colours.

    Purple all the way Jackie, one cause its your fave colour, two cause it shows the white flower pattern up so much better than the green one, three cause it will look fab on you and highlight all your beautiful curves and look stunning with your long brown hair, and four cause its darn well b loody gorgeous lass. x

    Lmao you two are filthy, in terms of purple dresses I know people who've had rainbow colours at funerals, and it used to be that you had a really impressive colour like purple, red, etc for weddings as it showed you where rich in medivalish times. I'm wearing darl purple and black (screw superstition) though I really do love emerald green but I could never pull it off
