Everyone keeps asking me, are you going to wear white? Like its some kind of scandal if you do. Listen, virgins are a rare breed and I figure they should be the ones wearing an off white color to set them apart. I really dont see the big deal, and yes, after much thought, I have decided to wear white. Not only have I been true to my love for 6 years, but I plan to be with him, and only him for the rest of my life. So share with me why you think the color white is so scandalous, or even if you agree with me.......inquiring minds want to know!!

I am wearing Ivory because it looks so much better on me than white, and my family is fine with it and so is my FI. His family on the other hand, is doing nothing but making comments. So, I came to the conclusion, you cant please everyone.

I didn't even give thought to the color, I just went with the dress I loved.

Me too - 8 years for me and I'm wearing white I wouldn't want to be any other way.

6 years for me and I don't care what anyone says.

WHITE

Does anyone really think only virgins wear white dresses? Come on, this is 2004, who really believes that? Because I know it seems like the majority of brides wear white, and I know they're not all virgins.

These days I think it's more tradition than virginity. If that were the case, mine would be a bit dingy!!

I didn't take offense when people asked the color of my dress, I figured they were just curious if I was following tradition or not.

I wore white & my son who was 22 months was our best man!

As I told my husband it's 'pure of heart'

I actually wanted to NOT wear white because I am so so pale and also I spill things on myself all the time! LOL.. so I said to FH, 'what if I wore a blue dress' and he just looked very scared..so ivory it is, not white.

I don't really associate white with being virginal anymore. For me it is basically just a traditional color associated with brides dresses...when I picture a bride, she is in a white dress.

Ditto
I think ivory is just as common as 'pure' white now anyway....which is what I'm wearing and, as you can probably tell by my name, I sure the heck am not a virgin!
