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?
There is noting like white wedding homie'' d bible only recognise family approval' obviously, traditional wedding'. Christian/muslim wedding are borrowed ceremonial games to milk up couples

interleukin:
@l Op, please stop talking already. Cos the more you talk, the more your stupidity increases. Haba!! From you first comment I've been embarrassed on your behalf. Yet, you keep embarrassing yourself all the more and just won't shut up.

It's people like you that don't mind your business. If your so bothered about non virgins wearing white, enforce it on your bride. Make una two wear black. And stop pushing it down our throats to accept your ignorant beliefs.
as if you were forced to loose your own

Is it in the bible that white should be worn by the bride on her wedding day? Or is it by culture?

Dont let ignorance embarass you OP... I believe you can read so please read the history of the white wedding dress and educate yourself.

i just have a question for you...what about those that were raped? should they feel dey are not pure or not obliged to wear white dress on THIER WEDDING DAY because white wedding dress is for only virgins...i need answers!!!


Thank you for this question. Maybe the OP doesn't know that the word RAPE exist.

Will also like the OP to give his own definition of a virgin so as to understand the angle he is coming from

Guys, be careful what you say cos it might turn around on you. Yes white signifies purity but then don't you think everyone deserves a second chance? I imagine if your wife to be isn't a virgin and she's asked to wear black or something, what will u do?

Do you have the right to tell a man that the woman he wants to marry is not pure because she is not a virgin? Just keep shut and mind your own bizwax.

no matter what you say or do, even if you vex knack head for wall, who wan wear white go wear white. if I am still a Virgin by my wedding day, I will wear cream with a touch of gold. the attire sef na borrowed culture. I haven't found "thou shalt wear white on your wedding day" yet in my bible.

For the love of God why is it that it's only women the fvcking society places more focus on in terms of purity and virginity and all dah shiii? Wat about guys? Even the fvcking rapist still get married but for ladies it's a crime? Wat a fvcked up society!
ladies should learn to keep their virginity for their future husbands and its not a big deal I guess.

Rev 19:7-8
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God


the above verse is talking about the marriage supper of the lamp where the bride(the church) will be presented to Christ

So the Christian wedding is an allegory of this marriage supper of the lamp.

That's why Ephesians 5:22-24 likened the man to Christ when it's was talking about headship.


That being said, early Christian marriages & secular marriages attire was ones "best attire" it was only the elites that could afford white material because of the high cost of purchase & maintenance

White became popular & the norm when Queen Victoria to Albert of Saxe-Coburg in 1840.

I'm glad you highlighted Queen Victoria on how it became the so called norm.
The allegory when interpreted here is the church as the bride and Jesus as the groom. It does not translate into you must wear white on your wedding day.
We should stop reducing christianity to petty doctrines that do not have any emphasis on the soul of the individual.

With all due respect I didn't say that, tht verse translates to "you must wear white"

I only told you that the Christian wedding can be likened to the marriage supper of the lamp and if it can be likened to it, then the Christian should wear white since that what's the bride(the church was clothed in)

It's not a commandment!! A Christian can choose whatever she wants to wear but as a Christian, it's a good practice to wear what has been patterned in the bible. If you wear fine, if u don't wear fine


we are talking about purity & chastity & what not, do you consider a virgin(male or female) who is a murderer or backbitter or walks in envy & bitterness as "pure" or "chaste"


The most important thing is the state of ones heart & that's what God looks at regardless of whether she put on white or black
