Married in red, you will wish yourself dead.

Jag surfade runt på en hemsida om kostymdraman och hittade denna fantastiska skatt. Det är en dikt från den viktorianska eran som handlar om vad man ansåg att valet av färg på brudklänningen skulle ha för inverkan på ens framtida liv. Jag gillar särskilt den om röda och gula brudklänningar...

Married in white, you will have chosen right.
Married in grey, you will go far away.
Married in black, you will wish yourself back.
Married in red, you will wish yourself dead.
Married in green, ashamed to be seen.
Married in blue, you will always be true.
Married in pearl, you will live in a whirl.
Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow.
Married in brown, you will live out of town.
Married in pink, your fortune will sink.

I browsed a website about period drama and found this lovely poem from the Victorian era about what the colour you chose for your wedding gown would influence your marriage. Read more about it here.
