Latino Wedding Traditions

I`m marrying a catholic man from mexico and some of the traditions of a mexican wedding involve a really long rosary called a "laso" and gold coins. The laso is draped over the bride and groom in a figure 8. The priest then blesses the couple. The gold coins are presented to the couple by a member of the wedding party or a friend to symbolize prosperity.
I`m not sure if these are solely mexican traditions or if they might be found throughout latin american. I hope this helps!

Another Tradition that is Mexican is pinning money on the bride and groom when you dance with them,money for there honeymoon or whatever. But again I don`t know this might only be a Mexican tradition

What about a Mariachi Band? They sing very beautifully...no Hispanic wedding is complete without them.

There is a really cook website called hispanicweddings.com. They sell hispanic wedding supplies, and interracial cake tops. I emailed them and asked if they were getting any more products. They said that they are new and they are adding new items every week.

Correction to the website www.hispanicwedding.com no "s" in weddings.

HERE `S A GREAT BOOK I FOUND.....
VIVA EL AMOR: A LATINO WEDDING PLANNER
BY EDNA R. BAUTISTA.. ALSO ENTER HISPANIC WEDDING TRADITIONS IN THE SEARCH ENGINE AND IT BRINGS UP COOL WEDSITES....

In some places the don`t pin money on them they just pass the brides and grooms shoes around and people put money in the shoes.

Here`s a novel idea-- ASK HIM what his cultures are -- or maybe read a book. You can read, right? Dumb people like you make me laugh.

Message like Maddie`s are pretty stupid. Men lots of times are clueless on what is done in their culture. This board is to ask questions and answers like yours should be kept to yourself. Insulting people doesn`t help.
