That would be the opposite of coming? -- Someone else 05:32 Mar 27, 2003 (UTC)

An old tradition has it that the first bride to wear white was Mary Queen of the Scots, on her second wedding: white was used for royal mourning, and she was a recent widow of the king of France.

I don't know about Scottish monarchs, but English queens apparently dressed in I think it was gold. Queen Victoria, if my memory serves me right, broke precedent by marrying in white, setting of a renewal in the tradition. Between her dress, Albert's trees and and Albert's penis jewellery, that couple sure set off a lot of styles. FearÉIREANN 22:26 29 May 2003 (UTC)

The image caption was just changed from

to

Gaffes at a "white wedding" at Thornbury Castle, England, where even the mother of the groom is hatless and a member of the party has also worn white

This seems POV to me and I think it should be reverted, or at least softened. fabiform | talk 12:45, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
