Usages Of A Spanish Marriage
Have you ever attended a Spanish wedding?
After reading this article you will be unassailables to the usages of a spanish wedding.
Traditionally, the bridegroom asks for the hand of his wife from his father.
If he accepts, the future son-in-law offers a watch to his future father-in-law.
If the bride’s father gives his blessings for the marriage to be made, the groom gives his future wife a gift of 13 coins.
These pieces are a symbol of his commitment financially, as well as emotionally and will accompany the bride on the wedding day so that the coins are blessed by the priest who will make the wedding ceremony.
The bride will have to return the 13 pieces to the groom to assure him of future property sharing. The groom will accept them as he will accept acceptance of the financial responsibilities of the home.
The 13 pieces representing the 12 months of the year and the offering of generosity to the poorest.
The typical accessory is the “mantilla”. It is a silk or lace veil usually worn by the mother of the bride on D-day. Here, the mantilla is black (picture 7).
And to finish the wedding in beauty rice and flower petals are thrown at the bride and groom at the exit of the ceremony as in many countries of the world.
