Is it a nice day for a white wedding? Not if black's on the menu. Picking up on Vera Wang's bold line of black wedding dresses this year, we ran the idea by SodaHeads to see what the public thought about it -- and got a ton of votes.
Black Wedding Dresses: Cool or Creepy?
63% Dig Black Wedding Dresses
Looks like black is the new... black....
One commenter wrote, "Traditional white was supposed to show the bride as being innocent and virginal. Why can't we have sexy, sensual, and just on the dark side of witchy black?" It's true, in America white is used to symbolize purity -- a traditional notion, but probably not very cutting edge. We guess it's all about how you look at it.
Not for Married Couples...
If you've already worn white, there's a 50-50 chance you're sold on the color. Only 49% of married voters thought the trend was cool. And that first ceremony is the kicker: Divorcees and widows were similarly skeptical, but engaged couples were on a completely different page.
...But Those Who Are Engaged Embrace the Color
Engaged voters were more likely than any other relationship-based demographic to like black wedding dresses. 77% of them voted "cool," a notch above singles. Does this mean we're about to witness an explosion of ebony gowns? Possibly. After all, they're the ones paying attention to contemporary bridal fashion.
Not So Slimming After All
We've always heard black is slimming, but based on our results only voters who already felt thin or fit were down with black wedding dresses. 78% of those who listed their body type as "slim" or "athletic" think black wedding dresses are cool, compared to 67% of voters who selected "average" or "love handles."

Needs texture, glitter something so you know you are not at the wrong place
why do the woman have to wear something that announces their purity anyways? then man just wears a tux, nobody seems to care if HE banged every skank that came his way, and nobody would know anyways because he doesn't have a hymen to break.
Do your research before judging others. I'm a virgin and I plan on wearing red and black to my wedding.
Besides at a wedding I think the priest wears white vestments (traditionally he would wear black vestments during a funeral), so it would make sense for the bride to have a white dress too.
Black White or Red? Who cares? Maybe she's in morning for the death of her Partying Days.
I wrote this review way back on Oct 8, 2011. The Sodajerks buried my post immediately and then buried their own abysmally wrong review of Real Steel. Real Steel is still going strong and hitting all the buttons in the great movie about where boxing may be going
This is typical of many of their posts. Written by hack writers and in most cases skewed toward the liberal progressive agenda.
I have already seen it and this is definitely one of those sleeper box office hits. The movie is so good that if you don't have any kids to watch it with, you'll borrow some neighbor's kids to take to go see it. Hugh Jackman delivers a knockout punch of a movie and hits all the right buttons at all the right times. Excellent comedic and dramatic and action sequences. All in all a great movie. Seems this reviewer is a little jaded. This is not a cartoonish movie like transformers and has a great story line and even better action and animations. This is another example of the Sodajerks jerking off any posts they screwed up.
