lifitng the veil

My MOH and I have been debating this (she's engaged too).  I want my new hubby to lift my veil when he kisses me at the end.  BUT I don't think I want the veil in my face the whole ceremony.  So far we have come up with this set up:Walk down the aisle with veil on.Dad lifts it to kiss the bride (then lowers it again??)Then we're lost.  Did anyone have their DH lift their veil?

I'm not sure the type of ceremony you're having but you can have your dad lift it and leave it up and then during the Covenant/Wedding Prayer/Intercessory Prayers/Blessing/Reflection, which ever you chose or are doing have it lowered again.  It would show the repect for that part of the ritual and you wouldn't have to wear it through the whole ceremony.  Try wearing your veil for a while and see how it feels, maybe you will wear it the whole time if it's not a bother.

For my first wedding my father lifted my veil after he walked me down the aisle. However I remember going to weddings growing up and, being Catholic, seeing the bride have to lift her veil slightly in order to drink the wine during the Mass. Maybe that has fallen out of fashion, though.I think you should do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Try wearing the veil around your house for a while and see how much it bugs you.
