The day I first loved this color;
buying bangles, dress, jewelry
everything in shades of gold & red –
the auspicious color of traditions,
of tying two hearts & fates together
of prayers, wishes, hopes and dreams
A symbol of me being with you
for next seven lifetimes
a mark of me belonging
not just you, but a new life
of passion, of loyalty, of honor
The day I first picked this dress,
I realized the power of red
to change a nervous lover
into the most confident bride.

I like the thought of gold and red being “auspicious colors”.
In my community, red is the bridal dress color. For all religious purposes, red is the primary color paired with golden.
Thank you for bringing this joyful red into dVerse today! It’s a lovely testament to the power of red – joyful and strong.
A beautiful wedding photo and the colors are striking! A wonderful memory to have and your post shows so many things held by the heart.
Red, gold, purple…such meaningful colors across cultures. Nicely done.
