The Veil Unveiled

I have often wondered what's the symbolism or purpose of the bridal veil. Googled and found many different interpretations of the meaning of a veil, especially when it comes to weddings. Some of the meanings even changed over the years Here're sharing a few interesting ones and let you decide for yourselves.

1. Ancient Greeks & Romans used brightly coloured veils that disguised the bride to protect her from evil curses and harmful spirits.
2. A bride's veil is necessary for modesty especially among Muslim women.
3. To show that a bride will be an obedient wife
4. The veil represents the woman's transition from the pure, virginal state to the married state.
5. Used as an adornment to enhance the beauty of the bride.

So what do you think? I kinda like the last one.
