This is ridiculous. .

it is the veil i.e those who cover the face, traditionally it was the sign that she is a virgin

The white gown in this our modern world represents the cloth of a bride.
Virginity is old school, outdated and out of stock.

well i don't think virginity is outdated because there r still virgins out there

well that is where cultural relativism comes in. Indians also wear red for weddings and white for funerals so it depends on the culture and the individual also

This is ridiculous. .

Mrs, Eve:

Typical African man. Sighs.

**Yawning**

I believe wearing grown now is just to flow with the normal culture of white wedding and personally to me now it does not signify anything but just the tradition of a bride putting on white gown on her wedding day

@Poster

Yes the White Gown shows Virginity.

Dumb guy + Smart Babe= Marriage.

The white wedding dress was popularised because of the wedding of queen Victoria of England. It became the new thing to have a white wedding dress, before people wore colors like red, blue yellow even black mm. First it was mainly the elite that embraced this new trend. It was just another way to show off, that the family of the bride was so wealthy that they could choose a white dress that is harder to clean and which could be ruined by any work or spill,

In Europe, the style of wedding dresses has always had the purpose to portrait as much status and wealth as possible. With expensive fabrics and big amounts of materials. The couple represented their whole family and if it was royal, even their whole country. The reason why queen Victoria choose white was because she wanted to use some lace she already owned. The colour of purity was actuallly BLUE!

White wedding dresses has no actual connection with virginity and purity. This idea is something people have just assumed later on.

Interesting conversation.
