The Bride wore white

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?”

“Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life,” her mother tried to explain, keeping it simple. The child thought about this for a moment, then said, “So why’s the groom wearing black?”

"The contrast between the bride wearing white and the groom wearing black symbolizes the balance of light and dark, yin and yang, in a traditional wedding ceremony," explained the mother with a smile.
