I am once again contemplating attempting Seishirou's kimono from the wedding pic (curiously, is there a reason it's called that?)

This is bad. I swore I would never do those outfits, as I would kill both myself and my wallet getting them done. But...they're so pretty, and the dyeing and painting would be an intresting challenge...

...Okay. I'm going to go hit my head against something until I can convince myself that this is a Bad Idea.

You always sound like you make very good efforts on all your costumes, so I would rather support you ^^;;

As for why it's called that....I don't know who started it, but I like to think of it as how they are dolled up, the red thread and...just their expressions. It feels calm...I guess ^.^ Yeah, so I have no clue.

And a while back, someone had written a bunch of 'vows' on the picture, too. Like over a year ago. Eh ^^;;

I believe it was Val, the former onwer of Sakurazukamori.net, who started calling the Wedding Pic :3 Way back when it first came out, because she thought they looked like wedding kimono. She used the term on her blog/sites, back when they were still around.

You're insane.

And yeah, mostly because of the red string and the veil and stuff. The way they're standing side-by-side...

In Chinese legend, the fatherly God-in-the-moonlight ties a red string around the ankles of the man and woman who are supposed to be husband and wife someday. Thus, no matter how far apart they are, they will eventually get married...

Thus, it's called the wedding picture because of the red string.

I'm sure you've got it answered a 10000000x now, but those are wedding kimonos. And the red thread? There's an old Japanese legend that every person's soulmate is attached to that thread. But you have to find them... But it's reasonable being that Seishirou and Subaru come from old Clans and probably Subaru didn't go full-out Christian in the first place, especially after Hokuto died. So it's fair to assume that he'd also believe in the legend, thus it being true! *hyperventilates* Whoo. That was a lot<3

But I noticed no one else actually explained the red threads. So I did for j00.
