    Could be the men dying in the Midbar caused them a depression, not wanting to get married which stopped on Tu B’Av, so the girls became happy again and dressed up in white as a sign of celebration similar like in Yom Kippur for forgiveness.

    Chassidus explains that the greatest joy is from light that comes after darkness.

    This idea can be found in connection with all 5 things.

    Generally, 15 Menachem-Av symbolizes the inner light and hope that is concealed in golus.
    This is especially symbolized by the full moon of the month of Av. Of course, the moon is always full, but on 15th, the light shines brightly. That is why ישראל דומין ללבנה – sometimes our light is concealed. The greatest concealement is on Tisha B’av, and therefore, the full moon of the month of Av is the greatest joy and nechama.
    It reminds us that despite being in the darkest golus, we will soon shine again with the coming of Moshiach.

    This is also stressed by the idea of כלו מתי המדבר: in truth, the Yidden stopped dying on Tisha B’av, but they only knew for certain on 15 Av. So too, Moshiach was already born on Tisha B’av, but the revelation and light of geula is specifically connected to 15 Av.

    Gut Yom Tov!
    May we be zoche to celebrate this 15 Av with the light of Moshiach in the most revealed way!

    Eight chapters of Tehilim was designated to say for shidduchim. 32, talks about finding a mate לעת מצאו it does not say מצא in the past but the present, finding now. She should always be like a kallah, who is found now. 38, Hashem should take away the pain of being alone, חושה לעזרתי. turn fast to my pain to provide my help, mate were עזר is a mate. 70, people should be rewarded according to their intentions to alleviate my pain, חושה לי עזרי provide me my mate. 82, the purpose of creation is to populate the world by getting married provided there is proper justice with truth and the bringing of peace. The world stands on the pillars of justice, truth and peace, ימוטו כל מוסדי ארץ, let us not destroy the foundation. 121, we ask Hashem to provide our mate. If it comes with the help from Hashem, עושה שמים וארץ, both heavenly and earthly needs can be provided to each other. 124, similar to 38 to alleviate pain ‘עזרנו בשם ה, the mate should come with the help of Hashem. 127, we daven for a mate to have good children, where בית can mean here asking for building a good home which will have the reward of good children. 128, One who is G-d fearing should be blessed with a good mate and children.
