Thank you, Volker Schier, for your interesting an informative post.
>....The very detailed "Hochzeitsbüchlein" the official rule book for all
weddings in Nuremberg, do not state any colour for a wedding dress.
They only forbid that the people dress up in the same colour. Only
the groom was allowed to cloth one servant in the colour he wore on
the wedding day.
>All this points to the fact that the colour of the wedding dresses was
not important for the government of Nuremberg.
And yet, the City Fathers apparently *were* concerned about being sure that no
more than two (?) people were dressed in the same color.
How curious.
I wonder why.
Best to all from here,
Christopher
