I hate clicking on hyperlinks. Does anyone want to provide the Reader's Digest condensed version of why brides where veils?

Is that history?

The list of negative explanations make this read like a "just-so story" (or ad hoc fallacy). Reminds me of the witless sagacity of those annual hodgepodge articles on the origins of halloween, without the author ever having read anything about its function in esoteric philosophy.

Here's a different view of the question:http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/267679/jewish/Why-Does-a-Jewish-Bride-Wear-a-Veil-on-Her-Face.htm
