I am of the opinion that the colour of dress the bride wears to indicate if she's a virgin is a bit hypocritical. The groom doesnt need to wear anything to show the world that he's not a virgin

Also, Jesus doesnt make us carry a sign everytime we lie or hurt someone or any other sin, so why shld the church insist on cream just to show u'v been down before?

I knw some churches that go to horrible lengths just to prove d bride is a virgin or not. Makes me wonder if pre marital sex is the only sin in the world.

I posted this awhile ago. however, i recently went saw the 'laws of white wedding according to anglican church' in one of their bulletins and it got me riled up again. I saw new things like if the couple are only doing blessing of marriage, the bride will not be allowed to wear a veil, if the bride is pregnant, she cannot wed in the church etc. my view is, if the bride is not pregnant nko but has had sex, you will let her wear a veil and marry in the church? just because she's not carrying proof that she may have had sex doesnt mean she should not wed in the church! i really dont know which part of the bible they get these their rules from!

Moderator, any chance this can get to the home page? I wanna know more people's views on this.

Since when did women start caring what the Bible states when it comes to marriage?
We have polygamists in churches.
We have babies crowing in church isles.
We have labor rooms in every church building.
We have o-r-gies in front.

THE WOMEN ALL WORE WHITE!!!!

What is the significance of wearing white?
VIRGINITY.
Where do you find that in this day and age?

all well and good. but is it the churches place to make sure the world knows? its like churches that flog people when those people are caught doing any wrong. is that what Jesus did?

It's all false teachings. There is no such in the new testament teachings. Purity is of the heart and holiness is between man and God, not between man and pastor/church. This is all religious, Pharisaical and hypocritical teachings.

wow! Nicely put! This what i feel as well. But i knw churches that go to extra ordinary lengths to prove a bride is still a virgin. I'v even heard of a pastor's wife asking the bride to submit herself so mrs pastor can stick her hand into d bride to make sure its in tact!

er. . . in addition, i just read that brides initially wore blue. . cos at one time, blue was the symbol of purity. however, the tradition of wearing white was begun by Queen victoria in 18-something when she decided to break the mould and wear white for her wedding!

U mean this white?

thanks for educating the op.

not sure why low IQs tag everything to church these days.

a bride can wear any colour she likes, the poster should go and ask the fashion houses why they insist on white.

Did bible say pastor should use microphone?did bible say pastor should ask maried couples to kiss the bride?
Is bible in the bible?must everything be in the bible?

I didnt even notice the poster i quoted is also the op.

Well, at least you corrected yourself and caught your error.

Admitted it, too, most people dont do that.
