White wedding dress?

I am a Christian and a big believer in God! I am not pure so therefore I will not ask God to bound me and my husband together in a White Wedding dress.

I am a Christian and a big believer in God! I am not pure so therefore I will not ask God to bound me and my husband together in a White Wedding dress. I am coming to him humbly and asking for forgiveness of all my sins by joining me and this man together so I will not come in purity (white) if I’m not pure I’m coming as I AM. I sinner asking to be whole/one/united. Do anyone else think like this? What’s your thoughts on purity and wearing white dresses even if your not pure?

    Hey Lauren,

    im guessing there’s other translations but this is def in the findings!
    In Rev. 19:7-9 the Bible says, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God."

    I am not pure but will still be wearing white because like PP having a white wedding dress will make me personally feel like a "true bride".

    Like PPs have said, True white, Ivory, champagne - all shades of white. No correlation to purity/virginity. There are hundreds of translations and interpretations, best not to nitpick.

    Thanks. I guess it's a question of interpretation as it doesn't actually mention purity or virginity, I'm guessing that came after it the wearing of it was popularised.

    Thanks - that definitely fits in more with the history of wedding attire as it was often brightly coloured pre-Victoria!

    I completely understand where you are coming from, although I don't believe wearing white would be a sin, or disobeying. Its your day. I'm not the most religious person but God will bless you either way as you are his child. I have friends who have felt this way. One worse a red dress, the other wore white anyways. As long as you are true to yourself, and your beliefs- God has forgiven way worse than wearing a white dress on your wedding day. The bible was written long ago, things change and evolve, its the 21st century, wear whatever you feel is right! Let him guide you!

    See that’s the thing it actually states a sign of ready these terms are all through the Bible it regards to being a virgin. It takes s different level of reading to know these things and a different level of belief. But I understand what you mean him thanks for your input 😌

    Lol it is for sure not in the Bible!

    I’m a believer who reads the Bible everyday and there is for sure not a verse that states or even implies that white wedding dresses are associated with purity. The biggest stretch I can imagine is connecting Jesus, who is referred to as “the light” and God and angels blinding people with their brightness...but that’s to do with holiness not purity and is never connected to women’s attire, much less wedding gowns.

    You definitely wouldn’t understand that part if you didn’t know the Bible it says “she has made herself ready” but thanks for your opinion......,...,

    That verse from Revelation refers to believers (all, men and women) and their symbolic marriage to God. It clearly has nothing to do with the earthly marriage of two people. Major, major stretch.

    Hey there thanks for joining us Kylie 😘
    it actually does say it and anyone knows that white is PURITY. That’s common sense without even looking up anything but I’ll be glad to share this with you since you jumped in on the discussion lol. Oh and thanks for your comment !



    oh here’s the other meaning of white but to each is own no one is wrong it’s opinions right 🤗
    White: White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. This color of choice for the traditional bride is and will always a staple in bridal fashion.
