ElderlyJokes Two Old Men Were Sitting In A Restaurant. This Is Epic. Two old men were sitting in a restaurant having a cup of coffee when one of them looks at the other and asks, “Why are wedding dresses always white?” The other man thinks for a moment and says, “Well, you know, I think it means the bride’s love is pure.” The first old man does not seem convinced so when another old friend sits down, the man poses the same question to him, “Say, do you know why wedding dresses are white?” “I’m not sure,” the newcomer responds, “but back in the day didn’t all household appliances come in white?” See more Previous joke John Celebrate Their 40th Wedding Anniversary.
