Remember the old days where a "pinko" was a slur for communist?
Heh
It was typically tied to the word bastard. And sometimes rat.

In the classical world, the colour pink - along with all other shades of red - was closely linked with the ideals of masculinity, courage and bravery in battle (through association with Ares/Mars).

Indeed. Plus even today today, Catholics associate the colour blue with the virgin mother.
Plus; It was queen Victoria who popularised white wedding dresses. Before then, brides were free be as inventive as they liked.
Below a clip from my favourite TV wedding; Alice and Hugo from The Vicar of Dibley. I was trying the find the procession; the attendants are dressed as Teletubbies. The vicar is of course Dawn French
Love me some ‘Vicar of Dibley’, I does.

I think the lead prosecutor in the Ahmaud case did a fantastic job.
