Why do brides wear a veil?

In the old days, it was customary to keep the bride hidden from the groom until the wedding day. This was the case in Egypt. During the wedding ceremony, the bride’s face would be uncovered. Arabs, Hindus, and other peoples of Asia and Europe too had this custom. Among the early Romans and Hebrews, too, brides wore veils. The reason for this practice had to do with modesty perhaps.
