Glad to hear that you approve of veils. ;);):happy: (runs and hides . . . :cautious: ) :joyfull: You did present some interesting comments, though.

As others have shared, people do what's right for their own situation for personal reasons. Perhaps (for me, back when I was married) I never even considered any of the thoughts above, as I was very secure within myself, and certainly never thought of my role as being anything less than his. The traditional wedding outfit I chose was pretty fashion statement. Plus, at my wedding, I didn't have the giving away part by the dad, due to the fact that my father had passed away. (Although I have to smile here, thinking that if he was alive at the time, he'd probably say, "Take my daughter, Please!!" Reminds me a little of the old comedy gag routine by Henny Youngman.) :hilarious:

Funny, I remember that. Wasn't it "Take my wife, please!"? Or am I thinking about Rodney Dangerfield?

Tens of millions of women choose to uphold these customs for a lot more reasons than "so my man can control me". In fact, you'll find most Muslim women do choose to wear the veil for the sake of modesty before God (same as Catholics covering their hair). Tens of millions of women choose to wear a veil on their wedding day because they find it pretty, or they want to look like their mom did, or they just like them, not because "my dad needs to pass me onto my husband as a possession".

Women can fight for equality without tearing other women down for making different choices than they would have made.

It's all about preferences. I didn't wear one covering my face because I just didn't like how they looked. I had a clip on one that laid down the back of my head. It was such a windy day that my head kept getting pulled as it flew everywhere. It was pretty funny.

I've been to a couple of beach weddings where it was impossible to pay attention to the ceremony because you're on the edge of your seat watching the veil being whipped around by the wind, LOL. Is it going to come off? Is it going to hit her in the face again? I wonder what their pictures are going to look like? Oh, carp, they're kissing... I missed it!

I think it is really up to the individual couple as to whatever works for them in terms of weddings etc. I asked Donna's Mother for her daughters hand (single parent) yet insisted she got me an engagement ring also. She didn't wear a veil because she didn't like the look. We did a small registry office ceremony with a meal and dance after for less than 50 people. The money went on our Disneymoon (which i cancelled :eek:) .

Why did you cancel it?

(you don't have to answer that if it's too personal)

Amen and exactly. If a woman is so hung up on wearing a veil, IMO, they should just not get married...period. My dad told me "whatever you want to do, It's your wedding" and that's the way it went. He was struggling through his chemotherapy and still walked me down the aisle not to give away a "prized possession" but because it would be a cherished memory. It was, he passed away six months later.

And if a future husband thought he would "own" me or control me I'd give him a barrage of f bombs and say Hit the road Jack! Bye-bye.

It's amazing how much I get done without the testosterones underfoot. I went to work for a couple of hours, made a blouse, got a major dent in mount laundry and took a nice warm bath. I hid some food away so the guys are getting leftovers and I'm going to watch a movie. A princess one so nobody comes near me:D Don't get me wrong I love all of them but I haven't really gotten any me time since before the holidays.

Sounds like you earned your me time! Sometimes you just need a break.
