Default Why Does a Bride Wear a Veil

hey guy,
I am a jewish religion person.
I'm getting married in a a few weeks, and I want to ask about one Jewish wedding custom. What is the meaning behind the bride wearing a veil? I want to do things right, but I'm not particularly turned on by the veil thing. It seems a bit outdated!

hey guy,
The horned Moses is an old inaccuracy, which originates in a Greek mistranslation of a verse in the Hebrew Bible. After coming down from Mount Sinai, Moses is described as having rays of divine light beaming from his face. But being that the word for "beaming" and "horns" have the same letters in Hebrew, an old Greek translation mistakenly rendered this verse, "And Moses had horns." Based on this, many medieval artworks depicted a horned Moses, most famously Michelangelo's sculpture.Moses' face was so bright with holiness, no one dared look at him. He had to wear a veil whenever he spoke to the people in order to filter the divine glare.
