Veiled Beauty

Did you know that the word "nuptial"  comes from the Latin word "nubo" which means "I veil myself"?

The first American to wear a lace veil was the bride of Major Lawrence Lewis, who was George Washington's aide.  She chose lace because her betrothed had seen her first through a lace curtain and was moved by how beautiful she looked.  (So sweet, right?)

As a second time bride, I frequently get asked if I am going to wear one. We have come such a long way from the days when wearing anything but a women's skirt suit to our wedding was considered scandalous.  I personally have chosen to wear a drop veil, because I want one but nothing dramatic. I did the pinned-to-the-back-of-my-head veil first time around, so I figure I'm due the blusher version.  Wearing a veil turns my gown from a glamorous ball gown to a wedding gown.  It feels appropriate for the occasion - its the element that makes me feel like a "bride".

So second timers, are you wearing a veil?
