It was said that the spirits might be jealous of the new couple's happiness and that covering the bride's face would keep them from recognizing her. And yet another explanation . . . In ancient times, marriages were arranged by families and were often nothing more than good business deals. It happened more often than not that the first time the couples saw one another was standing at the altar on their wedding day. To ensure the groom wouldn't have second thoughts at the sight of a bride perhaps less attractive than he's assumed, veils were used to cover the bride's face. The veil was not lifted until the very end of the ceremony, only after the groom had already said, "I do." This may also be the reason why traditionally the bride and groom are not allowed to see each other the day of the wedding. Some traditions are rooted in superstition and closely connected with good and bad luck. One superstition proports that it is bad luck for a groom to see his bride on their wedding day. Another, also well know superstition is the tradition of "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a lucky sixpence in her shoe." This most familiar of wedding-related sayings dates back to Victorian times." Hope this helps!

At my wedding. My wife is Lutheran. I am Catholic. The church was Protestant. The minister was Episcopalian. And we had a keg of beer outside the church because it was 95 out. Any way you want.

Just because they are non-religious doesn't mean they don't have any values. It depends on the values of the bride and groom.
