White Dress
"I hate white for two main reasons: First, it looks boring, second, it looks awful on me. Doesn’t suit me at all. Also, most wedding dresses look just like that: a wedding dress. You spend a ridiculously high amount of money for a dress you’re probably only gonna wear once in your life. I’d rather wear something in navy blue or a really dark purple. Looks much more interesting in my opinion, and you can also wear it in the future."
Why? Because they don't want to follow every standard traditional thing?
If someone tells me that they don't understand some tradition a take them as an illiterate person. You don't need to follow, but understand? Just research it.
You can choose what you want.
