Husband-to-Be Wants Everyone at Their Wedding Ceremony to Know His Fiancée Is Not ‘Pure’
In November 2022, a woman shared her story on Reddit’s “Off My Chest” forum about her fiancé’s controversial reaction to her wedding dress choice. After six years together and eight months engaged, her fiancé, Ryan, shocked her by suggesting she shouldn’t wear a white dress. Initially thinking it was a creative choice for wedding photos, she later discovered Ryan’s belief that brides should only wear white if they were “pure.”
Their argument escalated when Ryan insisted on a red dress, linking it to his perception of her past relationships. Despite their six-year relationship, including OP’s previous high school sweetheart, Ryan couldn’t accept her loss of virginity before they met. The disagreement turned emotional when Ryan sought support from his mother, who sided with OP, further straining the relationship.
Two weeks before the wedding, OP bought a white dress, which led to a heated confrontation. Afterward, she began to seriously question their future together. This conflict ultimately led her to break off the engagement. In a follow-up post, she sought dating advice after her first date in years.
Do you agree with her decision to end the engagement, or would you have chosen differently?
