Reply To: Women Wearing Costumes on Purim?

The veil comes from the Torah where Rivkah Emainu covered her face with a veil when she met Yitzchak. By the way,it is implied that the minhag for bedeken is from the idea that Yaakov Avinu was tricked into marrying Leah because her face was veiled and he did not know she was not Rachel. So all chassanim bedek their kallahs, checking to see that in fact it is the right kallah.
