In 1913, my not-so-rich farm bride grandmother wore dove gray for her
wedding. Then <sob> she _cut_it_up to make my father's first suit!
In 1943, my mother wore a plain suit (whose color she never told me!)
for her wartime wedding.
Alas. We all missed the chance to wear something spectacular. I wore a
simple white dress, not even floor length.
