The traditional wedding entails a wedding dress, whose white color represents the purity of the bride. The reality of the situation is: If this tradition was properly upheld, white wedding dresses would be as infrequently encountered as The Beatles original Butcher album.
The Tactical Fidelity Squad
roams chapels the world over in search for violations of this arcane marital tradition. Background checks are conducted on the Bride to be. Should a wedding dress violation occur, the Tactical Fidelity Squad will burst through the chapel doors and open fire upon the bride with paintball guns as she walks to the altar. One paintball per violation.
Pure as the driven...splat

Trouble in your personal life, [MikeD]? |
|
| |
No problems. She will have quite a pristine dress, when the time comes. The last one, however, would have looked like she just made it to the top of hamburger hill... |
|
| |
Meanwhile the groom is allowed to shag as many birds as he pleases, while he is still young and free. [-] for double standards. [+] for visual imagery. [ ] net. |
|
| |
when did Mike say a colored dress is a bad thing? |
|
| |
He didn't. [pocmloc] is just bemoaning the lack of a crossfire situation. |
|
| |
//Meanwhile the groom...// |
|
| |
Have to acknowledge the double standard that
[pocmloc] bristles over, but the groom is pretty
much always draped in black. A waste of paint,
really. |
|
| |
Still, there is something mean-spirited about this
idea (not you, [Mike]). I mean judging and tagging
people? It's a celebration, for pity's sake! |
|
| |
Essentially every wedding would become a
paintball mess. [-] |
|
| |
So a paintball version of the Taliban, then? |
|
| |
//Still, there is something mean-spirited about this idea// |
|
| |
Absolutely true. This idea is not meant to be implemented, nor is it proposed as something which would be good or proper. It is just a hypothetical counter-part to the hypocrisy of the symbolism of the white dress. |
|
| |
And to address your concerns, [Poc], a promiscuous woman has much higher risk of infection than a promiscuous man; ergo nature herself propagates this double standard. How would you expect society to not call a spade a spade, (at least at a subconscious level)? |
|
| |
Are you suggesting people see a bride in a white
dress and think to themselves "Fancy that! She's still
a virgin!"? |
|
| |
Are you suggesting people don't see a bride in a white dress and think to themselves "What is she doing in a white dress?"? |
|
| |
Eh, I think the white dress thing has gone way past Symbolism and headed deep into the region of Tradition. |
|
| |
I would have liked to do the paintball thing in divorce court!! (to HIM!!) |
|
| |
//groom is pretty much always draped in black. A waste of paint//
Well, he's wearing the appropriate black-velvet canvas; might as well take those little tiny paintball beads with flourescent colors, and, by the hand of a true marksman (a la Sherlock Holmes), execute an image of the object of said groom's impure devotions. |

Sounds like you need to hire someone skilled in the art of physical persuasion and lacking in scruples. |
|
| |
[2 Fries], I just saw your link. You continue to amaze me. |
|
| |
You will say "I do". You have 20 seconds to comply. |
