Why Ladies Wear White Gown On Wedding Day by Nobody: 2:24pm On May 10, 2015
I have been thinking aloud and asking myself this question. "Why do ladies wear white gown and guys wear other colours during wedding?" It is called white wedding so I think both are supposed to wear white.

Your opinion is welcome

To me personally.
It's just a borrowed western culture!
That's how the whites have been doing it and we borrowed it.

you mean when our grandmothers and great grandmothers of old did their wedding and wore our traditional attires then, they weren't virgins. They were of course, but those western culture were not yet borrowed then. And it (our traditional wear) was respected then.

The reason you gave might actually be the reason for whites to introduce white dress for their brides, but you know, when we wanted to borrow the culture, i doubt if they even knew the purpose for the introduction of the said white bridal gown!

The whites don't have inferiority complex, we're the one who aint satisfied with ours and we copy everything they do. So, i doubt if the can copy our TM way of doing weddings.

The essence of that white garment had been defeated. It signifies virginity and purity and the unveiling signifying she had no canal knowledge of any man but today we retain the tradition but discard the purpose.

I read somewhere that it was started by Queen Victoria.
I think, being a queen, she must have seen it as a colour befitting for a royal wedding. Or, gee, I don't know.

The guys usually wear grey or black cos they are mourning their loss of freedom of speech and association.
As for the hoes wearing white story for another day.

White garment represents virginity that's why some churches in Nigeria stopped wedding couples who already have kids or whom the bride is pregnant. Unfortunately, even girls with over-screwed abyss of a vagina wears white on their wedding day sad
