Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM,
which gave me even further incentive
to pursue my next book idea--
a friends guide to friends'
weddings. In a wedding context
I'm not sure of the tradition
of the veil--except that women
are to save themselves for their
husband's eyes only. It's also
seem as a "protection" for women.
As for the maiden name--true
that it's a sexist practice.
And as for the ring--maybe you
could wear it on a different
finger so it was not an indication
of marriage, but of your unique
bond. I heard a great story
about married couples in Germany.
They wear their engagment ring
on the ring finger of their
left hand and the wedding band
on the ring finger of their
right hand. The reason being
that the engagement ring goes
straight to the heart--since
that is an emotion decision.
The wedding ring goes to the
head since it's a more practical
decision.
