If you got married (or were to hypothetically get married), did/would you have a preference on whether or not your bride wore a veil? Why or why not?

I did, twice. I didn’t give it any thought. It’s up to her what she wants to wear.
My wife is Thai and we got married in Thailand. So we basically did a Thai style marriage. 5 bazillion family members showed up to a small hotel we rented out on thr beach, brought tons of food, proceeded to get crazy drunk for three days, and at some point my wife and I sat at a table without heads bowed and our hands in the prayer position as people proceeded to walk up to us and tie little strings of cash and gold around our wrist.
Pretty fun!
But all in all no. I don’t care about any of that. My opinion is we could have gotten our marriage certificates and been done with the whole thing and gone to lunch.
I don’t care about weddings or dresses or any of that nonsense.
Been married once so far, never asked her to wear a veil. I don’t think I’ve ever asked her to wear anything other than things I knew she didn’t feel like she could pull off [when I felt like she could].
Tradition hasn’t ever mattered in my family or hers. I’m setting new standards and starting new traditions this generation.
Doesn’t it vary with the dress they would pick?
Traditional wedding gowns are just not my thing. They’re too big. I don’t know how else to explain it. I prefer a more sleek evening gown dress. One that you could wear again to a fancy restaurant. However, it’s completely her choice and I’m just happy to be there.
Is that still a thing? Do people still wear veils
I had no opinion on anything she chose to wear or do that day.
Let me know what time to be there and if you’d like me to handle anything.
I would leave that up to her
I’m a dude who would marry another dude. No veil.
We didn’t see one at the casino chapel when we eloped to Vegas, so we didn’t use one. We are not ones for pomp and tradition.
Just glad she showed up
Men who aren’t married yet, come in close and listen up: hey. It’s me. Kbean826. I’m going to give you the world’s best dating/marriage advice. Unless it ACTUALLY HARMS YOU in any way, let her do whatever the fuck she wants. Happy wife, happy life. Veil or not, it doesn’t make a damn but of difference to your life. It’s a day you’ll likely never revisit or mention much a couple years in anyway.
We had a traditional japanese wedding, so no veil.
marriage seems really pointless to me, but I knew it would make her and her family happy. in my mind, it was her day, so I was happy for her to make any final decisions.
Doesn’t a veil mean virginity ?
Idk if I can wait til marriage. The woman I’m currently with definitely is not a virgin
2 marriages here. Neither wore a veil.
I mean it’s not really up to you what she wants to wear.
I haven’t yet, but I wouldn’t care. I’m not marrying an outfit. I’m marrying a woman.
I’d leave it up to her. Personally I’d say no but if she wanted to I wouldn’t ask her to not since I don’t see it as a big deal either way.
No veil, want to see the look in her eyes when she realizes she made a horrible mistake.
Didn’t care one way or the other and the whole “the groom can’t see the wedding dress til it’s walked down the aisle” think meant it was entirely out of my hands. It’s the bride’s day and the groom’s job is to agree, nod approvingly, say “that sounds great” and be waiting at the end of the aisle.
For the record there was no veil
Neither of my wives (married twice) worse a veil. Though it’s very interesting for sure
I honestly don’t remember if there was a veil. I don’t think so. I didn’t think about it at all.
Married twice, no veils.
I would marry her in a friggen sweatshirt. You women care wayyyy more about this than we do
I don’t care what they wear. Have fun in life and enjoy yourself. Wear what you wanna wear
I had no preference on what she wore. It was her business. I knew my wife well enough that she would wear something nice. A veil means nothing to me
