There are many explanations. One of the deeper messages of the veil:
The veil signifies that there’s more to life than what we see on the surface. The bride and groom are telling each other: “I am not marrying you just for your beautiful face or for your outer qualities. I am marrying you for something much deeper than that. I care about who YOU really are. It’s not just about what we see on the outside. The veil symbolizes that there is so much more than what we see on the surface….”
This holiday ask yourself:
▪ What are the inner qualities of my spouse? ▪ Do I express my gratitude for these inner qualities? ▪ What can I do to focus more on my own inner qualities?
