You have the right to wear anything you want, or nothing if you choose to.

Your wedding, your choice.
by pagan-babe on May 13th, 2008
Of course you can if you want too!!!Why not??No laws have a nice wedding i expect to see a pic of you in your lovely white dress :):)
Congrats
by FaerieWhings on May 13th, 2008
Who told you that you can't wear white? Wear what you want!
by Lovehearts on May 13th, 2008
Yes. It's your wedding, you wear whatever you like : )
Nobody else's business.
by stunada on May 13th, 2008
its youre day to shine so wear what you want who cares of what others think is it thier wedding or youres?:)
by Major Look at yerself on May 13th, 2008
Yes, you wear white if you want.
by Meg is exhausted on May 13th, 2008
You absolutely can wear whatever you want. It's YOUR wedding.
The days when only a virgin bride can wear white is long over.
by Sugar-licious a bellydancing rum maiden on May 13th, 2008
Puhleese! Of course you can. If you're here in the USA I know it is not against the law to wear white on your wedding day or any other day of the year. That was an unkind remark if someone told you that.

Go for it. It's your wedding, to hell with what everyone else thinks or says.

I think you can go down the wearing a clown suit. You should be able to do what ever you want. I have never been a traditionalist. One of the big mega stars got married in a sari. It's your day do what YOU want.
by Babycakes on May 13th, 2008
You wear white and don't let anyone change your mind. It's your day and you decide.
by Possum on May 13th, 2008
Who says you "can't" wear white and what, if any, reason did they give?
by Galeanda on May 13th, 2008
Anyone can wear white. I've seen lovely brides for the second time and even older ladies after losing their longtime husband remarry in white or off white. Wear what will make you feel beautiful and special. It's your day.
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on May 13th, 2008
Who would tell you that??!!?? You can wear jeans and a T-shirt if you want.
Wear your white, and own it!
by Shadow is Gone on May 13th, 2008
You go, girl! Congratulations
by Yarnlady is happy every day on May 13th, 2008
Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who still believe in that kind of old fashion nonsense. It is no longer the case that "white" means anything, other than a nice tradition. Any new bride who wants to can wear white.
You do not need the permission of anyone else to choose what you will wear.
by Wide Awake @ has closing date woo hoo on May 13th, 2008
Of course! It's your day, wear what you please.
Tell any nay-sayers that they can make rules at their OWN wedding.
by DreAnna on May 13th, 2008
As you said, it's your wedding..if you want to wear white then you go right ahead. Congrats and best wishes on your future wedding :)
by Nitroduck on May 13th, 2008
Darlin'!
You can wear white if you want to. It's usually only prudish biddies that say anything like that in the first place.
It was a tradition for the self righteous to not allow white dresses on non virginal or 2d weddings, anyway.
by E as in egg on May 13th, 2008
It's your day, your wedding and your party!
Wear white.
by Esteban-- Smartest Pumpkin on May 13th, 2008
wear white, and high top converse shoes to piss them off even more.
by Done. never again. on May 13th, 2008
You can wear white if you want. I'm assuming the person said that because of the ancient tradition that no one follows anymore.
by Lady Alathia of Vulcan on May 13th, 2008
You wear whatever you want and a pox on anyone that tells you otherwise!
Good lord, does the righteous judgement never end?
by Taciturnu on May 13th, 2008
I lived with my (now) husband before we were married, so I suppose I technically "shouldn't" have worn white.
I ended up choosing a dress that was white and crimson (found here: http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=2039e191-e45b-4b44-bba1-6a2ac07f9712&categoryID=8b186130-0d63-4e3c-ac5c-aea0d9566e1c&pg=1 ), but only because it's what I WANTED. I debated about it in pure white and ivory.
It's YOUR wedding. Therefore, you can choose to wear what you want, serve what you want (if at all!), play whatever music you want, or incorporate whatever traditions you choose.
Congratulations. Have fun! :)
by SAGE2 on May 13th, 2008
yes, it's your wedding - WEAR WHITE!
by Oor Galooly - on May 13th, 2008
Who told you this? Don`t listen and wear whatever you want.
by Lady Lavender on May 13th, 2008
I think you should be able to wear white if you want to. You're the bride and it's your day. :)
by G_tech on May 13th, 2008
its your day, your life, your memories and you should do what ever will make you and you hubby to be happy.
If its white that make your heart content so be it.
Its nobody business but you, husband to be.
There's always going to be that person in life that feels they need to tell you that this is what you should do or not do, but in the end you look in your heart and always know what right and go with that.
I wish you many years of happiness on your wedding day
by liveyourlife on May 13th, 2008
its your day. do what you want! to hell with old sexist traditions anyway
by somewhere Pll loves her dawgy on May 13th, 2008
Yes. Without any question.
by Anonymous on May 13th, 2008
What do you mean you can't wear white? I've never seen a bride who wears all black, thats sad.
by wilchil on May 13th, 2008
Wear white, and hold your head up doing it. I would venture to guess the person telling you that you can't isn't pure white either.
by fuckyou on October 4th, 2008
Girl, You wear whatever you want!! It's your day, ENJOY!!
by medicgirl on October 4th, 2008
Wear whatever color you want. I don't see that many "traditional" weddings anymore. They all have a new age twist. Plus, they all wore white, and I know they weren't all virgins. Hell, one was pregnant.
by Ruby Doomsday on October 4th, 2008
STOP THE WEDDING!!! You can't wear white! It's after labor day!
I'm kidding. Silly tradition -- wear whatever you feel beautiful in. It's your day, and if white is what's gonna make you feel special, why on earth would you wear any other colour? :D
by Doug on May 15th, 2008
You are so right,
And you can wear white.
And you'll be a beautiful sight,
And people raining on your right,
Well, They aren't too bright.
by linabina on May 13th, 2008
honey, my son was 3 months old when i got married, so i wore red! it is YOUR wedding... do whatever the heck you want. it is your day, you are the princess, go for it.
by miteb on May 13th, 2008
Contrary to popular belief, white is not always the best choice anyway. It tends to wash out your complexion and can be quite harsh. Look into an eggshell, ivory or other off white dress--not because you "can't" wear white (baloney!), but because the other shades are more flattering and you will look even more beautiful. Congrats!!!!
by old chick on May 13th, 2008
It's your wedding. Dress however you want. White tradition, red or black. Aqua is pretty too. Never let anyone tell you what you can wear to YOUR wedding. If you want white, wear it with pride. I'm sure you will be beautiful whatever color you pick. Just make sure you picked the right man. Everything else is secondary.
by squarepeg on May 13th, 2008
it's definitely your wedding..it should be any way you would like it.. Enjoy!!
by Anonymous on January 16th, 2009
First of all I don't know who told you, you can't wear white because it's your wedding and you have the right to dress like a clown if that's what you choose. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can not have at your wedding. It's your day so do what you want!!
by Ec-nal Licensed Bootie Inspector on October 4th, 2008
Of course you can wear white, it's your day yo!...
by Designer4theking...loves her kitties on October 4th, 2008
Who ever told you that. You stand up for yourself now. Wear the most beautiful white dress you can find. Its your princess day.
by Have A Smurfy Day on September 24th, 2008
Wear what you want, just wear something appropriate to your "theme".
by kitty66 on September 24th, 2008
i just got married two weeks ago and i have two teenagers and it is my second marriage i wore a cream dress,i felt amazing and u should make the day your own and enjoy yourself,its about you and your husband and no one else good luck have a fab day be happyx
by Ree26 on September 23rd, 2008
Yes
by Anonymous on September 23rd, 2008
there are no more rules about what you can and can't do at a wedding. it's your wedding and you can do what you want to do. unless someone else is paying and wants some input then you may have to compromise, but otherwise you where whatever you want to wear.
by Butterfly on September 4th, 2008
You can wear what you like, its you're day. Whoever has said to you, you can't wear white they would be definately of my wedding invites list.
by Candygirl on September 2nd, 2008
Yes wear what you want. I wore white at my 2nd wedding and I didn't care what people thought. I was not going to wear a beige dress they look dirty to me.
Where can I get a copy of my marriage license in Phoenix, Arizona?
