WEDDING IN SPANISH

-



In Spain, one likes the traditions and all the subjects are good to justify the organization of a feast. We counted more than 25,000 a year, a celebration every twenty minutes, with my preference for that, over three days, entirely dedicated to our friends snails.
 A Spanish marriage must respect a certain number of usages, witnesses always active of a tradition more than secular.
"Las Arras":


 the groom will not come to the church empty-handed but will have in his pockets thirteen old pieces of silver or better yet of solid gold. He will spell twelve in the hand of his promised before the ceremony and give the thirteenth to the priest to help the needy.
On the eve of the marriage, he asked the hand of his fiancee to his future father-in-law and, to thank him if he accepted, he would offer her a watch.

 To bail out on the day of the wedding, his tie will be cut into several pieces on the wire of an estoque (a kind of sword) and the pieces will be auctioned at the participants of the ceremony. The bride may be in white but the tradition is black, a black silk dress and a veil of black lace coordinated. The groom will wear a shirt embroidered by his future wife (today, just his initials).
 During the dinner, the couple will be linked with "El Lazo" (a sort of rosary) as a symbol of perenniality for the wedding.



 the engagement ring, the Spanish tradition is still surprising since it is the bride who will offer one of her rings to her hidalgo so that it takes her to the " Ear earphones. That the lovers of Javier Bardem reassure and do not change their program because under Anglo-Saxon influence, this tradition has most often been abandoned
Orange Blossoms

 Although, many brides tend to choose white flowers, the brides in Spain prefer orange blossoms for decoration. The orange blossoms have marvelous fragrance and they represent joy and happiness for the couple. They also symbolize fertility.
Bridal Gown

 In Spanish weddings, brides prefer to wear black dresses made of silk, accompanied by beautiful lace mantilla veil. But in recent times, the brides wears white wedding gown. The other materials used for making gowns are taffeta, organza chiffon, tulle, etc. Also, wedding gowns are designed by beautiful diamante, beading and exquisite embroideries. The bride embroiders a shirt for the groom, which he wears during the wedding. Spanish bride wears a bridal jewelry known as earrings with pizazz.

 Bridal Escort

 In Spanish wedding, the bride's father accompanies as escort and makes sure that the groom does not see the bride. The groom is escorted by his mother to the church for the wedding.
Wedding Ceremony
Usually, 200 to 300 guests are expected in a Spanish wedding. Spanish wedding ceremonies are held in the early evening and the celebrations go on till early hours of the next day. Once the couple exchange their wedding vows, they are wrapped with a rosary. This ceremony is known as 'Lasso'. It is a mark of protection and is sacred for the union.

 Wedding Dance

 Spanish wedding ceremony is incomplete without the traditional dance named 'seguidillas manchegas' by couple and the guests. It is also common practice to have a live band perform at the wedding.

 Wedding Dinner

 The wedding dinner is pretty late in Spanish weddings where delicious Spanish dishes are served. Sea food is served as main course in Spanish weddings and it also includes local delicacies such as paella. A rich wedding cake, filled with almonds and fruits is served as dessert. Also, sangria and local wines are served till you are full.

 Wedding Reception
Once the newly married couple comes out of the church, loud firecrackers are burst. It is a delight to watch wedding fireworks and highly entertaining wedding celebration. Also, flower petals and rice is traditionally used in Spanish weddings. At the wedding reception in traditional Spanish weddings, the table is set for 6 members only i.e. the groom, the bride and their parents. Unlike other wedding ceremonies, there are no wedding speeches given in Spanish weddings.
