Bro. Epley...I really disagree with you on this one! Perhaps we should also make the bride show the bridal bed sheets the next morning as well!?????
No, I think that is going too far. Let the bride wear whatever she wishes. What is important is that the couple is making the union official, and that should be encouraged.
Just curious: What do you make the men wear that is different from the virginal groom? Wouldn't they also "deserve the difference?" Or is it only the bride that bears the shame of the indiscretion?

I'd bet that no such distinction is put on the man at Epley's church. Just the women bear the shame!
That's a shame!!

Prevention is worth a pound of cure...but when there is a problem...I think Jesus' response to the adulteress woman is a good example that we should follow. He did NOT proceed with any public humiliation, even though the law called for it, and far more.

Good post, Abigail.
I was married before I even heard about the Holy Ghost. It only lasted 6 or 8 months. I can't remember.
When I did get married, after getting in church, I didn't wear white out of respect for the older saints in the church. I felt like my past was behind me, but I still respected them.
My only regret was letting the ladies of the church take over. I hated the decorations and flowers, but I didn't want to be rude. lol

I have heard about pastors who refuse to allow the couple to marry in the sanctuary. They are allowed to have a ceremony outside on the church grounds or in the church hall, but NOT in the sanctuary. This is ridiculous. Even if it was a 'church' couple that slipped up, if they have repented -they are forgiven. Who are you or I to hold their transgression against them? It's a slap in the face to say "God forgave you, but we didn't.. so you must get married outside of the sanctuary.." If it were up to some, they'd stitch a scarlet letter into the wedding garments...

They are forgiven I personally will perform the ceremony in the church however I think a couple who keeps themselves clean deserves a little honor in this perverse world. A white dress does just that and I mention they have kept themselves every young person does not commit fornication.

So how do the men signify their purity? And how do the impure ones share the shame with their brides?
