“So are there any other colors apart from white you shouldn’t wear at a wedding?”

“Why?”

“Red means you’ve slept with a groom.”

“I’m wearing red to your wedding.”

“Old wives tale, but yeah […] I don’t think that I would rule out red as a color.”

“I think it depends on the dress.”

“I feel like red can be seen as quite alluring.”

“Like a bit ‘look at me.'”

“A bit naughty.”

“Yeah.”
