Red dress theory

[@jerryferreira8960]

The red dress didn't cause the drama, the bride did!

[@m0L3ify]

Girl, you caused the drama. That fact that she still starts with "I don't know if this is because he really did cheat or..." tells me she still doesn't trust him. Annulment time!

[@rebecky5ever]

she's based his so called infidelity on an antiquated wives tale and decided to accuse him of it AT THEIR WEDDING. thinking is free i cannot stress this enough

[@redemption101caleb]

She’s STILL fixated thinking he might be the problem. Okay wow

[@colleenmarin8907]

I don't even know what to say about this one

[@goldengryphon]

The bride did this to herself by listening to a podcast and taking it for something commonly known about and practiced. The groom should get an annulment if, several days later, she's still blaming other people for her lack of discretion and common sense - not to mention that shear idiocy. She needs to grow up a bit and re-evaluate her life.

Even if the "red dress" is true, it does not mean the bride was cheated on. It means they slept together at some point. For those that believe it, it just shows how tacky the woman is.

[@cherisebeekman]

Wait… Can someone explain what a red dress has to do with infidelity?

[@jonimerchant5954]

Maybe the SCARLETT LETTER.

In previous video, the bride accused her new husband of having slept with one of the female wedding guests. Her evidence? The guest happened to be wearing a red dress, which according to some old wives’ old tale, meant that the groom had slept with her prior to the wedding. It turned out that the guest not only was the groom’s cousin (whom the bride was presumably meeting for the first time), she also was a newlywed who was expecting a baby with her husband. BTW, am I the only one just learning about this particular superstition for the first time? ISTR that the Victorians considered it for unlucky for the BRIDE to wear a red dress (obviously, this was only applied to Western countries); but I’ve never heard of any negative associations with a wedding GUEST wearing one. Is it specific to a particular culture?

@@maryanntoner4520 I'm American and I haven't heard of it. I do know that much older folks (silent gen+) will get very upset about black & white weddings because they think it's bad luck for the bride to wear black, but that was a very common wedding dress color back in the 1800's because it doubled as a mourning dress and there were plenty of funerals to go to. Saved them money in the long run.

@@m0L3ify My understanding was that, prior to Queen Victoria popularizing white for wedding dresses, most brides got married in whatever was their best dress, regardless of the color. (Though I’m sure many 19th century brides chose a black dress for the reasons you mentioned.) By the late 19th century, however, there was a rhyme that circulated in the US that warned brides against getting married in pretty much any color except white and possibly blue: marry in black, “you’ll wish yourself back”, marry in red, “you’ll wish yourself dead.” ISTR Ma Ingalls quoted it to Laura when she announced that she was going to marry Almanzo in her black dress. 😉

@@maryanntoner4520 Yeah that sounds about right

[@sidkemp4672]

In the US, and I think in parts of western Europe, as well, a red dress was the defining costume of a "lady of the night" or "streetwalker," a street pr*st*t*te. I could easily see this extending into the idea that a woman who wore red to a wedding is making a subtle or not-so-subtle announcement that she slept with the groom. For those who had trouble finding the previous video, as I did, here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaPdnXVvdpZsZtU . The red dress story comes near the end.
