Where’s<br />
The Virgin?<br />
Part of this virginity <strong>and</strong> purity<br />
concept is mainly influenced by some<br />
biblical occasions <strong>and</strong> the Victorian<br />
Era. A lot has to do with newspapers,<br />
magazines <strong>and</strong> well-known<br />
publications of that time. They made<br />
a big fuss over the notion of brides<br />
wearing white <strong>and</strong> cemented the<br />
idea that white always has been ideal<br />
for brides because of the chastity <strong>and</strong><br />
innocence it highlights. There was<br />
more to wearing white other than the<br />
virginity of the bride.<br />
In simple words, white represented<br />
wealth in its purest form. In the olden<br />
days, the norm was to exchange<br />
vows in anything good the bride<br />
owned, no matter how rich or how<br />
poor. Setting a theme to the precious<br />
event of nuptials makes that only<br />
the leisure class could afford a white<br />
dress <strong>and</strong> the maintenance it required<br />
to preserve its snowy hue. Which,<br />
middle <strong>and</strong> lower classes even if they<br />
tried, couldn’t manage to afford.<br />
