Right. And "traditionally," we know why the bride wore white."Traditionally" the bride's family pays for the wedding, the husband's pays for the rehearsal dinner, the husband for the honeymoon.
"Traditionally" the bride does not live with her future husband before the wedding.
It seems like we (collectively as a society) are picking and choosing which "traditions" we keep because we like them and which we are railing against as unfair or discriminatory because we don't like how they negatively impact us. "Tradition" is great is when it benefits us and it sucks as an oppressive anachronism that needs to be overcome when it harms us, isn't it?
As one example, if we don't expect the bride to be a virgin any more when she wears white, why do we still expect the father of the bride to pay for it all?
