I only wear it at a funeral -- and even then with a lighter contrasting colour. It is pretty depressing, especially now that the weather is getting warmer. I'm an organist, and lots of times I notice people wearing black to weddings!!! It may be trendy, but boy, is it ever gloomy... I'll opt for brighter colours or prints any time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-88557480575226481102007-05-02T13:45:00.000+01:002007-05-02T13:45:00.000+01:00I've thought the same thing...I must've missed a m...I've thought the same thing...I must've missed a memo that requires everyone to dress in black. I felt this very much while in Rome a couple of months ago. The only difference is in the States, its also necessary for a woman to have at least part of her bra showing too in the summer.

My wife and I remarked that we saw almost nothing but on men and women, especially those under 40, during our trip there in the fall of 2005. The French cuffs on men is a nice touch, though. When I wear them here, I'm usually greeted with something like, "Aren't we fancy?"<BR/><BR/>And congratulations to Msgr. Elliott.
