Re: Symbolism of the red dress
In Jewish weddings they have something similar. The bride and groom actually go into a room alone and hang out for a while alone (back in the day they’d be consummating the marriage, now they are usually just talking and feasting) while all the family and friends are hanging out outside!
EDIT: Oh! And I have to say, that reminds me of my favorite commercial that I saw in Pakistan – the one where there’s a bride and groom sitting in their bedroom the wedding night. The groom gives the bride a cell phone for her Moonh dikhai. She starts playing with it; he wants to play with it and snatches it back. They keep snatching it back and forth, and the bed starts making creaking noises. The camera then flashes from them to the “ghar wale” having tea and refreshments outside, pausing awkwardly at the sound!!! I couldn’t believe that commercial when I saw it.
Sorry to shock everyone. I will go back to be usual appropriate self. :halo:
