Today I am off to the beach in the Riviera Maya, Mexico! I am not sure if I will be around a computer with internet so I thought I would do blog #6 right now. I thought in honor of my trip to Mexico I would talk about wedding traditions they have because it has to do with love and I thought it would be interesting.
A couple getting married are sponsored by godparents, "padrinos," who act as mentors throughout the engagement. As a thank you, the couple has the godparents be a part of the wedding. The groom gives his wife to be 13 gold coins as a symbolize the man's commitment to support their family. As the newlyweds walk down the eisle, red beads are thrown for good luck. It is amazing to read about how different people do common things like a wedding in different places.
