"The Mantilla Veil is a win-win situation. There is no denying that this is a traditional veil--and your parents won't be able to contest it. At the same time, it will not suffocate you, and it will still look very chic." -- RB
Whichever way you look at it, a veil is just not practical in this tropical weather.
I don't care if it's "tradition". The way I see it, you should not be forced to wear a veil because:
a) you pay good money for your make-up which will melt by the sheer sight of the veil,
b) it's your big day, and you can barely keep it together and what the veil will do is just add shortness of breath and the feeling of being suffocated (worse, it can also stick to your face and you need to be careful not to step on it),
c) and the reason for a veil is so outdated in these times.
In fact, I have friends who are not of the rebellious kind--and yet they have decided to eventually lose the veil during their big day.
