The Mezzanine

Well, I'm getting this from my embarrassing amount of experience watching Say Yes to the Dress, but I believe red is the traditional color of Indian wedding dresses, since white is for mourning. So your friend is either Indian or being multiculti? :)

Also Deird, I don't follow Australian politics too closely, I hear there's some crazy stuff going on about immigration and Aborigines? And it would be easier to get you to explain it than to look it up myself. :)
