Oh, gosh, that idea seems sickeningly grotesque to me. I rather like the idea of ceremony first....
Leastways, I always thought better of the elves.
Aaannnyyyy way, I think the topic wandered down a road I am not comfortable with. Now that we are aware that there was at least some sort of ceremony for weddings (regardless of whether it was before or after the act of acting like man and wife), can we not speculate that they might have worn a new dress of some sort? Surely they would have! It is, after all, a special occasion.

P.S. Mith, I will find those parts in the bible that it mentions white, and the bride, and purity, and will PM them to you.
