Pretty In Purple - A Purple Wedding

Today, another addition to my posts on color and this time we are going to talk about the color PURPLE.

Purple symbolizes magic and mystery as well as royalty. Julius and Augustus Caesar, emperors of Rome, both decreed that only the emperor could wear purple. When Nero became emperor, the wearing of purple and even the sale of purple was punishable by death.
