I noticed mostly guys believe that white weddings are for virgins and they condenm the fact that virgings hardly exsist but i beg make una tell me who disvirgined all the virgins?You guys take the virginity of other peoples sisters and other guys take the virginity of your sisters and the trend continues so boys stop dreaming about marrying one even our elderly men who are old enough to be grand pa's have joined the game of nailing young girls. |

@hannydarl True talk. The guys spoilt the babes and they come back complaining. if a girl wants to keep the waterproof intact, they will keep on demanding for a proof of the love the girl professes for them. After having their fill, off they go to another, roaring and seeking whom to devour. Looking for virgins? Go to maternity wards and marry them and guard them jealousy until they are ripe enough for you unless you are a muslim, you can kick off the match early before the appointed time ![]() |

But why should I suffer the consequences of the offense I did not commit, then? Mr. A is the rogue but B gets arrested, why? Funny enough I was reading an article talking about ladies who after had dated series of big boyz as they call them, they now come back to a geek. A girl who dumped me some years back now back 2 weeks ago pestering me about dating her and in future marry possibly. I have heard lot about her moves, but now she's back. Funny enough she still met me in the same room she left me where I still control my life, Do you think it is reasonable to take her not to talk of marrying her? Believe me I don't have anything against nobody but it hurts to see girls taking dirty stunts. Though I am still on the ove in search for a partner but still find it difficult to cope with the girls I see around. |

All the while my statements is not to hold someone down, I am just pointing to facts which are been overlooked for sometime now. White wedding or no white wedding, what I believe is that the purity still lies @ heart. Raped, Officially Disvergied or how can put it. What I realise ever since I know my rights from wrongs is that I have never for once had it in my to ma de girl, lady or whatever weep because of my deeds. Talking about guys, I see know reason why one cannot remain sole till it reaches the specific time one has to. According to my religion, there are verses that strictly states about sex before marriage but most ignore this part. They have recited and understood it and if they can't they must have in one way or the other heard about it. Yet they turned deaf ears to the words of God. There are somethings in this world that we will keep asking ourselves, Why? And yet they are clear to our hearings, visible to our sights, but most most would never adhere to them. Sometimes people call me series of names all because of my state. But it always meant nothing that I asure myself. Wearing whites does not specify that you are completely clean. You may be a virgin in body, but @ heart. So what are we supposed to do about that? God is the only one who knows the righteous. |

There is different between a white wedding and a church wedding, a white wedding originally is meant for the virgins, white signifies purity, that is why people who knows the different wear a bit off white, like cream, milk colour etc |

If a white wedding is for virgins only, they shuld rather change the name to "virgin's wedding' cos you would possibly find a grandmother virgin in nigeria be4 you can find a white virgin. |

White weddings are not just for virgins. Wearing white for a wedding started with Queen Victoria when she wed Prince Albert in 1840. Before her wedding the women just wore their best dress, no matter what color it was. So the Queen's dress started a tradition, and people started applying that white signified purity or virginity, but if you do a little research you will see that the blue is the color that actually represents virginity. I guess that is why the saying says about having something blue for your wedding. *shrugs* You guys (and I do not mean just the men) should check out this site: http://lifestyle.iafrica.com/brideslife/faq/ It talks about some of the wedding traditions and how they were started, for instance the white dress and the something blue thing as well. White at weddings is not just something for white gurlz and there are plenty white gurlz that are virgins, at least until their wedding night ![]() |

Not necessarily for virgins but for ladies who were smart enough not to get pregnant b4 d day |
Re: Are White Weddings For Virgins Only? by drrionelli(m): 1:32am On Dec 18, 2007 |
Actually, the "white wedding" signifies only that the bride has not been previously married. |
Re: Are White Weddings For Virgins Only? by Dreloaded(f): 1:42am On Dec 18, 2007 |
uchetobi: Lmao pretty much. Not true, drrionelli |
Re: Are White Weddings For Virgins Only? by drrionelli(m): 6:58pm On Dec 18, 2007 |
@D-reloaded: I submit the following: Harriette Cole, author of Jumping the Broom: The African-American Wedding Planner, believes that white is an acceptable color for a repeat bride to wear. "It used to be considered in bad taste for a bride who's been married previously to wear a white dress, but these days codes and conducts have relaxed quite a bit," explains Cole. "Historically, it used to be that if you got married for the second time that you wore a dinner suit instead of a gown. This whole absurd tradition started (supposedly) when Her Majesty Queen Victoria married, and wore white (though some suggest that those pictures were taken later to take advantage of advances in photographic technology). That only first time brides were supposedly given over to wearing white suggests by extension (and the mores and folkways of the times) that first time brides were "pure," i.e., virginal. We know, of course, that such couldn't be further from the truth in some cases, but, as they say, old habits die hard. |

White signifies purity hence the use in weddings and yes it was meant to be used by virgins but that was in the days of old nowadays, no body cares. |
Re: Are White Weddings For Virgins Only? by sylve11: 8:26am On Nov 15, 2022 |
It's not even proper in the first place to do white wedding for a girl who is not a virgin. ![]() ![]() |
