Why is it that non-virgin women feel that they have the right to wear white when they finally decide to get married after years & years & years & years of having premarital sex and shaking up with their boyfriends?

Is it that they want to pretend they're pure and clean after romping around in the mud?

I recently went to a wedding where the bride had been living with her bf for 8yrs & already had 2 kids for him... Yet she still wore a pure white wedding gown.
The white gown is supposed to symbolize a brides purity & virginal essence. I feel it destroys the traditional purpose of wearing white when the bride is FAR from being a virgin.


Shouldn't the non-virginal bride wear a black wedding dress or something?

nice talk

....People just do it cos its the "norm" in the society.....for me, the white wedding has lost its values....and symbolism

mtcchhheeeeewwww wedding dress is just a piece of cloth and it can be any color depending on what the couples want. Have seen milk, light pink wedding gowns and if truly the white gown have been desecrated by non-virgins, then as the black suit not been desecrated by non-virgin men? really I don't know how people reason o especially when they go to church on Sundays and they come back here to form holiest of the holiest. Do not stereotype anybody

what do you suggest they wear? black gown? if the tradition of purity & virginal essence is enforced, 99% of the brides in nigeria will wear a black wedding gown. most of them popped the cherry before they turned 15.

Where is it in your bible to wear white? You want to kill yourself over a borrowed culture?

I'm only keeping it real. Just because our society's morals are breaking down & most folks have an "anything goes" mentality...doesn't make it right

White symbolizes purity in all things not only wedding, dats y a white dove decended on Jesus, but dats no longer d case 2day. So deceitful 2 see a bride wearing white when everyone not just her hubby knws she's lost dat purity of body.

First is it your culture? I don't see the Queen of England policing who is wearing white and who isn't.
Also where is it in your bible? Where did God police the costume to wear for a wedding?
It is an 'anything goes' mentality for males to tear every female's hymen they come in contact with and you think it won't backfire?
If you cannot tell your boys to keep their immoral di.cks to themselves, then don't go policing women when the problem is with you.

I guess as a black man you must be a spawn of satan, right?

How does this concern the OP?

who cares whether they wear white or black? what should non-virgin males wear on their wedding? green or torqoise?

True.lol
I'm thinking if only virgins could wear only white dresses, there wouldn't be very many white wedding dresses
would there?

Look at the responses on here. Most people already getting defensive because they are dirtbags themselves

that era of preserving purity is well & truly over. humans have evolved. i don't like the underlying measures that only seem to control a woman's sëxuality. only the groom should be bothered about the bride's virginity or nonvirginity.

The only dirtbag here that needs to be burnt to ashes is you. Didn't your bible tell you to remove the log of wood from your dirty eyes before removing the speck from others? You and your ilk from the day you become aware you have a pe.nis will not let a girl rest, seeking to devour her hymen and you have the audacity to be asking about white dress? Are you a tailor?

Go and tell your brothers to stop being on heat 24/7. If you can accomplish that task then you can ask about 'white dress'.

Will the potbelly let them?

A widow with two kids in my side here who got remarried, wore a white gown on her wedding day...

I'm even of d opinion wedding should be a thing of d past. Don't even know why we do that in d first place.
Borrowed misplaced priority.

Oyibos do only one wedding.
Indians the same.
Africa man that practices another man culture more than his does up to three.
Eew!

The groom doesn't always wear white...sometimes they wear black or any other color. The issue here is the non-virgin women who wear white wedding dress after romping around in the mud.
Wearing white means purity in the eyes of the Lord and those closest to you. Is it that they want to pretend they are pure and clean after many years of pre-marital sex and sleeping around?

Why are you getting so defensive, did anybody force you to open your legs??
Only if she is a virgin shall she wear a white dress. If she isn't she should wear black since black symbolizes the opposite of purity..thats all

I actually thought you were just clowning around, I would have gladly joined you cos I love to take digs at these ladies and watch them rattle up as always...but it seems you're serious or maybe you aren't

Just do some little in-depth research on the origin of white wedding dresses my man, the assumption that it has to do with purity is actually a widespread and very common one...so it's normal to think you're right - unfortunately, that's not the historical reason behind it.

As a little help to point you in the right direction - of all colours connected to purity; blue is the closest, not white.

Still looking at the pic... is the guy cleaning his ear? See the intensity in his face.

@Topic
In some cultures, white is a symbol of death, tragedy or going into the spirit world.
