I was listening to the songs from the 80s and 90s last night. Thanks to some Youtube users I can still watch music videos from these two periods, I miss them so much I used to listen to them when I grew up.
The song Colour of Love by Billy Ocean in particular is such a romantic song, just perfect for wedding, anniversary and engagement. It gives me the same feeling today as many many years ago when I first listened to it. Maybe I was born hopelessly romantic. But do you know the colour of your love? It doesn't have to be your favorite colour, what you or other people call romantic.
My favourite colour is red and I think it is a romantic colour, but there was not a single red in my wedding. There was only a shade of pink and cream. My gown was cream with little pink roses embroidery. I just fell for this beautiful gown as soon as I laid my eyes on it. I didn't plan to have everything else in the same shade though, but when the decorator asked me what colour I wanted for decoration theme, shade of pink and cream was the only thing I had in mind. There was no thinking twice and they didn't even know the colour of my gown, in fact I didn't think it should limit the variety of colours available for decoration. So it's kind of strange why I didn't have anything else in mind at the time.
But I realize this today as I wrote this post. I remember how everything I wear always have some shade of red in it (ok 95% not everything). Well pink is a very light red, but I usually settle with dark pink or hot pink. Yet none of these colours were present in my wedding aside from dark red tie, that was it. Since my husband doesn't have a particular favourite colour, I'm sure this is not some kind of colour combination result either. So it's pretty clear now: shade of pink and cream is the colour of my love.
What is yours?
