Since wearing white and having a veil is supposed to represent that they are pure and have never been with a man before, do you think it is shameful and a disgrace for a woman who is not a virgin to wear white? To me it is very wrong. Women who are pure on their wedding day should definately be honored but women who are not and have never been married before do not deserve that same honor.

I think it is more of a tradition now a days. The same as carrying flowers or having a cake. I don't think it needs to be taken so literally. Although, you make a good point. I never realized that they wore white as an "honor". I thought it was more of a representation. I don't think it is wrong if a women decides to wear white. I will note however I did wear white and I was not a virgin. I didn't really want to wear white (I wanted a dress with some color to it). I felt pressured to. I was taught that women who wore off white or ivory were the ones who should feel shame. I'm not sure what to think now. Very good question.

.....
Wearing white on your wedding day is a tradition, and (whether you like it or not) premarital sex is very prevalent now. In other words, you'd want the vast, vast majority of women to go against tradition and wear darker-colored dresses? The tradition should stay the same, even if the reasons for it change a little bit. Also, what if a virgin wanted to wear- let's just say- blue on her wedding day? Should everyone that sees her think she's a whore? I disagree with premarital sex too to a certain extent, but what you are suggesting is a bit ridiculous. ;-D

Mostly every woman wears white on her wedding day. And it's going to stay that way. What were you suggesting that the other, "not pure" women should have to wear? The only person who should care if the woman is a virgin or not is herself, and she'll know.

Well, wearing white on your wedding day didn't represent virginity at first. I understand your point, because it doesn't seem fair to women who are actually virgins. But in today culture, rarely their is a bride that is a virgin on her wedding day. But it is purely for fashion and a tradition that continues. So let the bride wear whatever color she wants. Statistically, 96% of people are sexually active in one form or another, so nobody would be wearing white if that is the case.

Nope. The advent of wearing white on the wedding day is actually a fairly new thing. The tradition was started when Queen Victoria married in 1840 in what was considered and "extravagantly" white gown.

It is the bride's day and they can and SHOULD wear whatever color they want. If you want to hold women to a "virgin only" white standard, let's see how many GROOMS could meet your criteria. Or is it only women who need to be "virtuous"? I hardly think that a white wedding is an advertisement of the state of a woman's hymen. It is a tradition that has moved beyond archaic interpretations.

I have no problem with a woman who has bee married before wearing white. It's kind of like in the Bible when they brought the woman before Jesus, she and been caught in adultry and the law was that she should be stoned. Jesus said let him who is without sin throw the first stone. So lay down your rocks brother I don't think either of us is in a position to judge her or anyone else. She can wear any color she wishes and you shouldn't care judge not.

No. I don't think it's all that important. A wedding is about being in love and finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. The people there are to celebrate that with the couple because it's not the easiest thing to do. Everything else like color of the wedding dress is superficial.

I agreed. It's shameful and dishonorable for those who choose to sleep with a man before their wedding night to wear white on their wedding day. I mean, it's their fault they're not virgins. But if it's really not the person's fault then I don't think they should be treated badly for it. But I do agree; it's not right. That right is reserved for virgins

Who are we to judge if it is wrong? God judges and knows. The wedding dress is outward appearance, but the Lord looks inside. I dont know what people think of non-virgins in white dress, but i know it is ugly not in physical sense but on the inside. Sex is to be kept pure till marriage. I will be wearing a white dress on my wedding. ☺
