Just a quick doodle I did for probably no reason except that it's been an idea in my head for a while.

I'm pretty satisfied with this, and it's pretty close to the image I had in my head. Jut damn, it looks so goth with just those colors..... Maybe I should make a happier, more colorful version later....

A little explanation:

In American weddings, as far as I know, women have this big fancy white dress and such. In Japan, the color of mourning is white.

So I did a little philosophical thinking (I think that's what it's called?) and I figured: If white is the color of mourning, why do women wear it on their wedding day? What are they mourning if it's supposed to be the happiest day of their lives?
Though I'm sure 90% of Americans aren't virgins by the time they're married, I know that some girls loose their "innocence" when they get get married. Figure it our from there.

I hope that's explanation enough. Just ask if you're confused.

This might just be part 1 of a series I wanna call "White". I'll go more into it later if I do decide to make that series.
