It's not really the concept of virginity or purity per se. A girl who has sex before marriage is not a slut. However, a girl who sleeps around, and a culture which promotes that kind of lifestyle, in the name of "sexual freedom" and "anything goes" i think is very wrong. If white is strictlly reserved for the virginity aspect of a bride, then most, if not all, south asian brides would be wearing white on their wedding day, coz apparently that's our most valuable asset. ANyway, before i derail this thread that i started...nice pix!! luv the first white n gold gown :D
My nephew married a French Canadian gal and she wore a white lehnga....heavily embroidered. I don't think that any other colour would have done her justice.
