But to choose a color of they're delight, would surely bring on the frowns.

got me....why not go against the norm! Then maybe you will see who your true friends are anyway if they make fun of you for wearing a different color dress! IF you are no saint why not go with a color you like. if that is why you asked.

What's with the rhyme? I agree anyway about most of them not deserving the right. But people only care about tradition now days instead of morals. However for a second wedding a color would be ok.

In the olden days most women were virgins when they got mairred sadly now that is not so true. really wearing white has become more of a tradition then anything now days but relgios people who belive in waiting on sex til mairrage do deserve to wear white. If you what to wear a different color on your wedding day then you go for it girl.

Actually, wearing white (which is most popular in the European and American areas) is relatively new.
In Victorian times, brides chose to wear white, since they could afford to own a dress that would only be worn once. (((It symbolized purity of heart and the innocence of childhood. It wasn't until LATER that it was supposed to symbolize virginity.)))
Later, it was determined that brides wore what if they were virgins.
Now, most days, most brides wear white even if it is their 2nd or 3rd (or more) wedding, and even if they have children. Though, not all white dresses are the "pure" shade of white. Some are "egg shell", "ivory", "off-white" etc.
In other countries, red is worn, black, etc.
*** ADDED NOTE ***
Billy Idol's song, "White Wedding" was mocking his sister, who wore white, even though she was pregnant.

White does not only stand for virginity. It is also a symbol of something new or fresh. This would define the new union between a man and a woman who are going into marriage with a fresh start.

White symbolizes the sexual purity of the bride and lets the audience know "Hey....groom's gonna get lucky with this VIRGIN bride tonite...heh heh".
It's tradition...and yes I agree: some brides might as well walk down the asile in a French cut, camel-toe bikini.
Divorcees about to re-marry have been known to wear "Chamagne" colored gowns I thought looked very classy....and I have seen one bride wear a very nice multi-shade blue bridal dress. At the reception, I spoke to her and asked about the dress.
Her reply "To hell with tradition, I don't need to prove anything to anybody.....and I love the color blue....".

Well, it's tradition and whether or not the bride deserves to wear white is really no one's business.

There is a lot of symbolism in our traditions and ceremonies. This reminds me of the line from "The Thurber Carnival": "She's always living in the past. Now she wants to get married in the Virgin Islands."

Their lives will be totally altered by their marriage, perhaps a purity of mind and resolution to leave their past behind can be symbolised by wearing white. In my Gran's day it was the colour of the flowers that counted, if they weren't white there was talk!!!
