Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What did you miss?
What was with the dude in the mask that was about to do the slice and dice on Christian's face? There hadn't been anything about that up to about 2-3 episodes before the end. I got it that they thought he was going after Sean/Sean's family and he went for Christian instead. But who is he? What happened that they thought he was going for Sean?
eta: Sorry, ita. Fixed.
A white wedding dress signifies that it is the bride's first marriage.
Ha ha. White symbolizes virginity.
I read that it was a display of wealth, as you'd have to be pretty well off to afford a dress you could only wear a few times.
Sail, can you whitefont that? It's technically current season, and verboten in blackfont here.

A few times? I thought it just the once...

Back in the day, you were married in your best dress. Basically disposable clothing it pretty recent.
No, I meant if you buy a wedding dress, you only wear it the once.
Unless your best dress was also white -- otherwise I don't see the connection between white wedding dresses and a dress you only wear a few times.
In high society, a woman would often wear her wedding dress out as a formal dress at some point in her first year of marriage. and I thought that the white symbolized "debt free"
People used to wear their best dress, generally a brand new one. They'd wear it again after the wedding.
If you were really loaded, you could afford to have a white dress that you woudn't get much subsequent use out of. It was a display of wealth.
I guess we owe white to Victoria.
Queen Victoria put the wheels in motion by marrying in white. Though brides continued to wed in gowns of different colors, white was now set as the color of choice for weddings and has continued ever since. In Godey’s Lady’s Book, 1849, this statement was printed: “ Custom has decided, from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue, whatever may be the material. It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of girlhood, and the unsullied heart she now yields to the chosen one.”
