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.
u're right. white 4 virgins; cream/butter colour 4 non-V; pink 4 widows re-marrying

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
it a Western culture alien to African
white is supposed to signify PURITY
WHAT NOWADAYS WE WEAR IT UNWORTHY

I have always noticed that there are so many 'why ladies this why ladies that' thread on here. Is it that there is nothing else to talk about.. What other colour should they use for the wedding gown (indigo right.) .. I just feel people come on here to express the different things rioting in their minds cos its a forum that doesnt required ones legit identity

Why can't they wear shimi and boomshort.
I think the tradition of wearing only white should be changed becos most ladies are not pure as they claim to be .

I think the whole white wedding thing has become laughable in Nigeria. It has become big business for venue owners, catering services and makeup artists , they even pay to tie gele these days.

The essence of the day has been trivialised

no it hasn't. Besides everyone makes business out of everything. Teachers make money from teaching illiterates, caterers make money from the hungry etc


so it all boils down to how you perceive things

Previously women wore their best clothes for their wedding however Queen Victoria popularised the wearing of white wedding dresses when she wore a white dress in her marriage to Prince Albert of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha on 10 February 1840.
After that women generally sewed white wedding dresses according to the style and trend of the time till the 60's when people returned to the victoriana email style of 'Princess like' full gowns which have continued to be popular till today
Hope you find this helpful
