Dale perused Rochelle’s photos. “Sweet. All those bridesmaids in royal blue velvet.”
After fifty years, Rochelle still remembered the scent of her yellow roses. “I liked their dresses better than mine.”
“Why blue and not purple?”
“Good question.”

Dear Rochelle,
Did you always have a penchant for purple? If not, that could explain the use of blue instead 😉 Fun stuff and I can’t believe you’ll have been married for fifty years! Kudos to your staying power 😉 For both of you!
Shalom and lotsa long-lasting-blue-if-not-purple love,
Dale

Dear Dale,
Purple has always been my favorite colour. 😉 I guess I wasn’t quite “into it” back then. I think I thought blue was more traditional. And as I said in the caption, it might have had something to do with my mother’s influence. It’s been a loooooong time ago and I’ve slept since then. 😉
Thank you.
Shalom and lotsa colourful hugs,
Rochelle

We seem to have taken different routes with a similar thought this week Rochelle! I assume those are blue velvet bow ties the gentlemen are wearing.

Dear Keith,
Those blue velvet dresses were so pretty. I don’t think the guys wore blue velvet bow ties though. 😉 As always great minds think alike.
Shalom,

Oh Rochelle! What a lovely wedding photo! And leave it to Dale to ask why blue when you’re supposed to be “addicted to purple”! 😉 I enjoy your “Dale” stories. They are so winsome!

Dear Dora,
I’ve now doubt a true Dale & Rochelle conversation would’ve gone just like that. 😉 Thank you for your sweet comment.
Shalom u’vrakha,

Dear Newlywed Rochelle,
Terrific story and love the picture. Has me wondering what is behind you and the wooden doors.
As every watercolorist knows, into every shade of purple, there must be some blue.
Peace,
Bill

Dear Bill,
Okay, so it’s taken me nearly a year to reply to this comment. Tardy to the max. The wooden doors are on the ark, behind them are Torah scrolls.
And of course blue and red go together to make purple. 😉
Thanks a bit late.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I got married in a courthouse and I wore a blue velvet dress. We went out for Chinese food afterward. The marriage lasted seven years. We split amicably. We have a great son and we will always be family.

You are right.
Bluing up the photo still doesn’t let us know whether it’s blue or velvet.
But, always great to revisit memories!
