I don't know if it's really a rule but I changed out of the veil because it was kind of a pain to keep it on (mine was fingertip length so I can imagine chapel or cathedral length would be even worse). Also, I found an adorable hair flower to replace the veil with!
I'm wearing a long cathedral length veil and a blusher for the ceremony and then keeping just the blusher on during the reception. I want to look as bridal as possible for as long as possible, just my choice! I say do whatever you want.
I plan on wearing my bircage for the ceremony and the reception.
I took mine off and on as I felt like it, but I think it's totally up to you.
I wanted to wear a veil all night- after all, how many times will I get to wear one? I had a two-tiered veil, with one tier being a full cathedral length, and the second teir was very short and hit just above my shoulders. For the ceremony I wore the whole thing, and for the reception I wore just the short veil. I loved it that way!!!
I am taking mine off. I want the more traditional pics with the veil, but during the reception, I want more candid and real pics of just me and my FH.
I voted only during the ceremony, but really didn't want to call you dumb. ;)
I really think you can do which ever you want to do. I plan to take mine out/off early in the reception. . . if it makes it that far.
I did what elaineathon did -- wore a fingertip length veil for the ceremony, and a hair flower for the reception. But you aren't a dumb-dumb if you want to go for the traditional bridal look for the whole wedding!
I want to just wear mine for the ceremony and some pictures and then take it off for the reception- but I am nervous about messing up my hair!!!! Hoepfully the hairdresser will be able to teach me some tricks!!
I chose to wear my fingertip veil during the ceremony, for photos, and at the reception until we cut the cake and had our first dance. After that my hair "bling" showed up more. Do what makes you happy!! 
I have a cathedral length veil for the ceremony. I am thinking about an inexpensive fingertip for dinner and our first dance. Do what you want. I am with DecemberBride--how often will you get to wear one?
You can do whatever you want! I know lots of girls who take it off after the ceremony, and plenty who keep it on - they might move it to a different position with their hair.
My veil is bulky, so I am taking it off for the ceremony. I am changeing into a different hair accessorie so it's still bridey and fun.
I kept it on until all the major picture parts were over. I think everyone should do what they want & feel comfortable with. If you want to keep it on, do it. If not take it off. It is your day!!!
I wore my veil only for the ceremony and some pictures. Do whatever you want :) And it isn't a "dumbdumb" question!
I think only the ceremony is what's usually done, and probably for the reason someone stated above-it can be a pain to deal with for that long. I've been toying with the idea of the long veil for the ceremony, followed by a birdcage for the reception. Or some sort of combo that let's me wear my tiara/headpiece the whole time.
I wore my veil for the reception. However, if I had it to do over again, I would have taken it off. With all the dancing and running around, my head got pretty sweaty under it.
My veil was cathedral length, it looked great for pictures but was a total pain in the butt to wear! For the reception I changed to a hair piece that had some feathers and sparkly bits - I still wanted something pretty and bridal and it was a good excuse to buy another accessory :) Possibly if I'd had a shorter veil I would have kept wearing it if it was still comfortable (I have heard people say that after all the hugging it ends up being tugged a lot and can give you a headache).
I wore a birdcage veil and kept it on for the ceremony, formal pics, and first dances. Then I took it off and just wore my hair flower.
I was wondering about this same thing myself, so thank you for asking!
My Mom wore hers all through her wedding and said she never wanted to take it off. I'm wearing a cathedral length veil and think it will be a pain in the but to walk around with it all night. Personally if it wasn't a cathedral I think it would be a bit much all night. I think it's just a personal preference and doesn't matter either way.
I wore my chapel length veil through dinner then took it off. I actually intended to have my dress bustled and take off the veil before being announced into the reception hall, but we completely forgot too! However, some of my favorite pictures ended up being during the beginning of the reception with my veil on!
It will depend on how my hair looks with and without it. I think I'll decide on my wedding day.
It's totally up to you since there is no right or wrong. Every wedding I have attended, the bride has kept hers on the entire night.

My mother and I are disagreeing about this - what is normally done?
Do you wear a veil for the ceremony only, or during the reception only?
What did you do?/What will you do?
