"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."

Traditionally, it signifies purity or virginity. More recently it has come to signify a first marriage. Nowadays, however, many brides - even marrying for the second or third time - choose to wear a white wedding dress (and that's OK by me!).
