Well, I certainly don't abuse my Bride. But as mentioned, the veil comes off easily and even it's been only a week or so, the constant dropping off and putting it back on has visibly taken its toll on the cloth. Also, as you mentioned, it's made of cloth. So fingers touching it so often will also make it look dirty after some time. By the time the Groom gets produced, she'll be a filthy looking partner! LOL!
