Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I don't really want to get married. But I would like the dress.

Lee, leave the VCR. When is the last time you used it? Plus, if you needed one in a pinch they are cheap cheap cheap.....

Theoretically, the dress is the easy part. It's the excuse that's hard. Plus the leeway to have the implicit understanding of "No, fuck it. Look at my DRESS." for an afternoon.
The ensuing companionship and stuff does freak me out a bit.

There used to be this rhyme in a folklore book that was in my parents' house:
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in Blue, your lover is true. Married in Black, you'll ride in a hack.
I can't remember what green is.
ETA: Google to the rescue:
Married in white, you have chosen aright;
Married in red, you'd better be dead;
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow;
Married in blue, your lover is true;
Married in green, ashamed to be seen;
Married in black, you'll ride in a hack;
Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;
Married in pink, your spirits will sink;
Married in brown, you'll live out of town.

I don't really want to get married. But I would like the dress.
So go out a buy a dress. It's a lot easier than being married, I can tell you that much, Erin.
I was talking to DH today and I realized we've only been married 4 years. Waaay too much has happened in those 4 years. And hey, thank goodness he's been with me during all of it, but still.... I think I've really pushed my luck with the whole "in sickness and in health" clause.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Married in Blue, your lover is true.
Aww, my mom was married in blue! Yay.

I have three weddings to attend between April and October. That's 3 opportunties for new dresses, provided I have funds.
I am starved for some new clothes. It sounds horrid and selfish and awful, but I haven't bought anything new in so long, and I want to get something springy and light and girly and lovely. Something that I don't have to worry that it will go with everything else I own, or be work appropriate.
I want some shoes that AREN'T black.
I want to spend $75 on something besides prescriptions or electricity.
I want to pay someone to dig their thumbs into my iron-rod shoulder muscles for an hour. And not talk to me, in a dark room with fluffy music playing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hmm. Kat and ita gave different answers to my VCR question. I guess I have to think about it and decide on my own.

Whoa. I've been married longer than you. That seems wrong somehow.
Aww, my mom was married in blue! Yay.
So was mine. Well, blue pinstripes.
Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;
