No White on Wedding Day if You’re Not Pure

So this guy tells his fiancée that she can’t wear white at their wedding because in his words she’s “not pure.” When she got upset, he took to Reddit in surprise to ask users why.

This man is from a very religious family with strict traditions. He was able to convince her not to wear white, but has been slammed as being “controlling.”

The unidentified male is 32 years old and comes from a very strict family. It’s against his families wishes for her to wear white.

“So me and my soon-to-be wife are planning to get married in a few months. He said.

“I come from a very religious household with strong Christian beliefs and one of the traditions in my family is if the woman getting married isn’t still a virgin they shouldn’t wear a white dress on their wedding day.”

“My family knows my soon to be wife wasn’t a virgin when I met her because my mom asked me when I started dating her if she was pure, and I was honest and told her she had boyfriends before she met me,” he continued.

When he said this to his fiancée, she was understandably upset.

“My wife was really upset when I asked her if she could wear a coloured dress on our wedding day but she agreed, so we’re looking at getting glittery blue dress instead.”

She’s not happy about it though. And now she’s having second thoughts.

“She’s saying she won’t marry me because she’s too humiliated by the whole situation, but I really don’t see how it’s a big deal.”

The man is confused by this and posts to Reddit, but users quickly tell him off.

One user said, “This is sick, and I can’t believe your GF stayed with you after this.”

Another explained: “This is not a Christian tradition, nor is it a modern tradition. There is no ‘Christian color’ for virginity in marriage or anything else. Biblically, unmarried/virgin women wore multi-colored robes.

“Until the early 20th century, blue was the ‘traditional’ color of purity, and weddings were generally held with people wearing whatever their best clothes were. White became en-vogue because of Queen Victoria’s white gown.”

And yet another added: “Making her parade down the aisle in something so ridiculous it’s like you’re trying to pin a giant scarlet letter on her.

“I think if you have such a poor opinion of her and want to cause her public embarrassment you should do her a favour and break up now.”

So that’s that. Don’t tell your fiancée what she can and cannot wear in her own wedding, or you will never live it down.
