Back in the days, wearing a white dress on your wedding day meant that you were still a virgin. In the 21st century, many brides are seen wearing any shade of white or any other colours. Given the fact that many modern couples now live together before they get married, wearing white on your wedding does not really signal anything these days.
However, this was not the case for this particular bride-to-be as she is rethinking her entire relationship after her fiancé asked her not to wear white on their wedding day.
She took to Reddit to voice out her frustration saying her fiancé is demanding that she in fact wears a red wedding dress because she’s not “pure.”
“I’ve been with my fiancé for six years and engaged for the past 8 months. I’ve been doing most of the wedding planning but my fiancé, let’s just call him Ryan, will give his input here and there. So about a month ago, Ryan out of nowhere said he was talking to some of his co-workers and thought that I shouldn’t wear a white dress,” writes the bride-to-be.
She states that because her partner is an artistic person she figured it had something to do with how the photos would turn out.
After finding her perfect dress and paying for it, her fiancé wanted to know what colour the dress was.
“When I said white, he threw a fit. I honestly do not see why this was a big deal, almost everyone wears white on their wedding day. When I asked him what colour he thought I’d be wearing, he told me I should wear red. Again, this was super weird to me. I asked him why I would wear red to our wedding, and he told me that brides only wear white when they are pure.”
“This all has honestly made me question even marrying this man. He’s not even religious so I know this is just about him still thinking about me losing my virginity at 18 before I even knew him,” she concluded.
