The Colours Of Love - White
|
 Does 'white' impact a marriage after the sanctimonious first night is over?
Indian brides may go berserk when it comes to the colour of their bridal attire and choose a shade of red or pink to wear at their wedding. But brides following Christian traditions continue to favour tying the knot wearing tried and tested (for what?) white. Why?
In choosing white, do Christian brides also choose to flaunt their virginity? Or is there more to the colour white than it's being a symbol for purity?
Desire a white marriage
Day and night. White and black. Day is always associated with white, and night with black. Metaphorically speaking, day signifies good times, while night symbolizes rough (if not downright bad) times.
Now marriage is a package deal - some good, some bad. As they say, there can't always be sunshine, there's got to be a little rain sometime. In other words, there are shades of both white and black in a marriage.
So - to be aware of white in your marriage is certainly to aspire for the good times, but also to be equally aware that the going might get hard. But by bonding that much more during the easy (read white) times, a couple can weather any storm coming their way.
White makes for a good beginning
You could also say that white heralds a good beginning to a couples married life, and the hope of it continuing. When Leena married Atul - it was an arranged match - she was keen to infuse some 'white' into her relation. In fact, she knew her marriage wouldn't survive without it.
You see - Leena had a past relation with a son of a family friend. Since it was all in her extended family-friends circle, she knew that someone or the other would let the cat out of the bag at some point in time. So - she preferred that Atul hear about the truth from her, rather than some ill-meaning relative. In this fashion, Leena coloured her relation white by making a wise decision to tell all and keep her slate clean.
White calls to white
Fortunately, Atul took the news in his stride. He accepted Leena for what she was, and especially appreciated her maturity and far-sightedness. With that stepping stone crossed, Leena rested peaceful about having done her best to start her marriage on the right note. Again, she infused peace (more white) into her relation.
But Leena did not realize that her actions had unleashed a storm in Atul's mind.
You see, Atul's father had given him a generous sum of money as a wedding gift soon after his engagement. This gift was intended to help Atul and Leena do up a new flat Atul planned to put money down on. Now Atul was fond of stocks and shares, and had made quite a killing from his investments. Sadly, he got carried away with his success at the bourses and invested his fathers' gift too... only to lose over half the money prior to his wedding.
When Leena came clean, Atul toyed with the idea of telling her about his loss. She knew he had received the gift, and was looking forward to doing up the flat.
