One of the possibly most underrated components of a wedding is the bridal veil. It has its place in the decisions about gowns and details, but rarely do people seem to center their attention on it. Yet just think of all the tradition, subtle mystery, and visual effect it has in the entire ceremony.

The veil has a major part to play in the ceremony itself. When the marriage is pronounced, the groom is invited to kiss his bride. He then lifts the veil and places it behind her head, letting the entire gathering see her face for the first time, kissing her openly in front of the world as his wife. The mystery is gone, their relationship has altered; they are open to each other now.
