In "The Minister's Black Veil," how does the black veil affect the wedding?

In the
sin-obsessedof the Puritan era, the Reverend Mr. Hooper's black veil, which hides the lower
portion of his face and casts doubt in the minds of his congregation that their minister may be
hiding some dark secret, casts a portentous gloom upon the wedding ceremony when he
arrives.

This congregation of Puritans who carry an unforgiving view of human
nature wonder at their earlier church service what their minister is hiding behind "his two
folds of crape [crªpe]." The "gloomy shade" that Mr. Hooper continues to wear to
a funeral and now to a wedding is very unnerving to the people.

Each member of the congregation, the most innocent girl, and the man of hardened
breast, felt as if the minister had crept upon them, behind his awful veil, and discovered their
horrible iniquity of deed or thought. 

Thus, when the
minister arrives at the wedding wearing the dark veil over his face, the mood of the gathering
is greatly affected. Whereas the guests have supposed that the minister would discard his veil
and adopt his usual "placid cheerfulness" for this happy ceremony, he instead enters
wearing this small pall-like cloth. Thus,

...a cloud
seemed to have rolled duskily from beneath the black crape and dimmed the lights of the
candles.

To the wedding guests it appears that the pale
bride resembles the maiden who has been buried only a few hours before, and this deathlike
maiden is one and the same.
So powerful an effect has this black veil of the minister
produced that even when he catches a glimpse of himself in a looking glass, he himself shudders
with horror, spills his untasted wine, and rushes out into the dark night. "For the Earth,
too, had on her Black Veil."

The minister's black veil casts a pall upon
the occasions Mr. Hooper attends so that the funeral differs little from the wedding. From his
donning of this veil, then, there evolves a feeling of dread in the congregation whenever they
encounter the Reverend Mr. Hooper, on whose face they can only detect the "glimmering of a
melancholy smile," and he is avoided.
