Purity! That's why. It made sense in past times when chastity was the vogue. In these days when immorality is celebrated, am not so sure of the significance of a white wedding gown.

Because its presumed that every bride is a virgin. But in Nigeria, I recommend that its made mandatory that every Nigerian bride wear red because all of them don cast finish!

Because it's assumed that every bride is a virgin

Since it seems you wore white gown for your wedding , can we assume you practised chastity or did you cheat
Re: Why Ladies Wear White Gown On Wedding Day by Nobody: 10:42am On May 11, 2015
Some men are so bad that they can take on any girl even on the wedding floor, so the bride needs to be on white so everyone will be monitoring the broom abi na groom.

Because it signifies purity since is their first wedding. However, when a lady or woman is marrying for
the second time, she goes for a different color.

White wedding gowns have nothing to do with purity or virginity.
Queen Victoria wore it and it became the fashion.

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

The practice came from the British....thanks to the wedding of Queen Victoria....who when she married her husband Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg Gotha in 1840....wore a white gown....making white wedding gowns fashionable.

our own cultural Nigerian wedding is the one been done/perform in ur fathers compound but white is borrowed culture of foreigners, and that's while Nigerian must stop imitating some satin lifestyles.
according to God in the bible, once a man carries his people and meet ur own (her) people and she agrees to marry you in the of the two families who are the eyes witness that this both two are declared to be man and wife, and he pays the bride price ( money) of the woman, they have become husband and wife. all these white wedding, barbecue nights, calling and broadcasting it to the whole continents is a show but who has the money to call and wear millions of white gowns and suits should go ahead with his/her own way.
please let just stop making marriage look as if is only for the rich and celebrities wink
