Cultural Note
Spanish and Latin American weddings are typically grand family celebrations. In Spain, weddings often last well past midnight with elaborate multi-course meals. In Mexico, traditions include 'las arras' (13 coins symbolizing shared wealth) and 'el lazo' (a rope or rosary placed around the couple). 'Bodas de plata' (25th) and 'bodas de oro' (50th) anniversaries are celebrated milestones.
