getting married in white!

[mrs.Rodriguez_to_b]

I don't know if i should be getting married in white due to the fact that i already have 2 kids. I was told by my mother that it really doesn't matter if i wear white or not as long as i get married.

Wear whatever color you want to wear. It is YOUR wedding. In fact white wedding dresses weren't meant to symbolize purity or virginity when they were first worn in Victorian times. What a white wedding dress meant was that you were wealthy enough to have someone take care of a white dress in the pre Clorox and dry cleaning days. So go ahead and wear white or whatever color you want to it's your day.

I also read that it the white wasn't meant for virginity or purity of the bride, but I read that it was meant to show hope for a pure and good marriage. So wear white if you want to wear white! I have to second with Lacey, it's your day!

I think that i will wear white after all i am marrying the father of my children! I just thought that by me wearing white having 2 kids the priest that will marry us will look at me strange and i will feel like a bad person. anyways that is none of his business wether i have children or not many other people have done it. So i shouldn't be ashamed of my children and getting married in white!

White is just a color. No one will care one way or another. Some people even get married in red now adays.

My to-be sister-in-law wore black to her second wedding. The color of your dress doesn't matter...it's your day! Enjoy! You want to wear hot orange than wear hot orange! :)

I say wear the color that you like the best. I have been married for 10 years, I never had an actual wedding and we are renewing our vows next year. I am wearing white and could care less what others think. I think that old tradition is just that - OLD! Don't pay attention to that and I say throw all those etiquette rules out the window. You don't want any regrets after your wedding, you don't want to question yourself and wonder if you made the right decision based on others.

GOOD LUCK!
... and remember, you can have champagne taste with beer money!

wow, I had no idea about the history of white wedding dresses... very interesting

[heathercap2002]

Wedding dresses before the first Queen Elisabeth were red or any other color of choice so don't worry about wearing white. More power to you if you do wear white.

Hi Heather. Welcome to onewed. Just to let you know, this thread is very old (like over a year). I'm not trying to be rude. I hope you don't take any offense. I thought you might need to know though.

[cowboysbride]

Well don't I feel like a jack@ss!!!!!! OMG DOH! Excuse me while I bury my head in the sand!

[Kacie_bride]

It's okay. I almost posted a comment about the white dress too! Then I looked up at the date!

[AngelinLove]

I agree..you should wear whatever you want!!! It is YOUR day and if you want a white dress wear a white dress!!! If anyone has a problem with it...screw them!!! JMO!!!

[katieandalex]

I say, wear what you want to wear. That was the thing years ago, but the times have really changed with the colors of dresses that brides are now wearing. I doubt that years ago they would have ever dreamt of a bride wearing an all red dress to get married in...but people are doing it all the time now.

If you want to wear white, wear white! It's your wedding.. do whatever you desire!

[nikkiana]

If you want to wear white, by all means wear white! You shouldn't care what everyone else will think. :)

[bridalbonnie]

Wear what you want. You're the bride and if you want to wear white or bright pink or whatever color, you should wear it and everyone should respect it. It isn't 1915 anymore, women have come along way and if you want white, wear it proudly.
