How does a Mexican wedding work?

Many people get married in churches- the flower girl and ring bearer walk down the aisle, and then the father walks the bride after all those people walk... something along those lines.



But what about a Mexican wedding? Do people walk down aisles, and is there someone up front waiting to bless them and give them their cues for their "I do's?"

How does a Mexican wedding work?
Mexican Weddings rituals are unusual but extremely interesting. They tend to be large with many attendants. The attendants are called madrinas and padrinos and they have special roles in the wedding. Some of the customs of a Mexican wedding originated in ancient Jewish and Pagan worship, adopted by the early Catholic Church.



The flower girl and ring bearers are dressed as miniature versions of the bride and groom. The madrina de ramo carries flowers for the Virgin Mary. The madrina de laso carries a jeweled or beaded rope that is placed around the couple as they say their vows to symbolize their union.



One unique custom of the Mexican Wedding is that it is customary for a Mexican groom to give his wife a wedding present of thirteen gold coins or arrhea. These coins are blessed by the priest during the marriage ceremony. The gesture of presenting gold coins signifies the groom's commitment to support his new wife and his unquestionable trust and confidence. Acceptance of these coins by the bride means taking that trust and confidence unconditionally with total dedication and prudence.



The other very special and peculiar custom of Mexican Wedding ceremony is that during the marriage vows, a white ribbon or rosary, called a "lasso", is wrapped around the necks of the couple to symbolize their joining.
