I posted this on the NM board, but also wanted to post here to get more feedback:
I just moved to Las Cruces, NM to be with my boyfriend/FI (we're not engaged yet, but plan to be soon) and I was wondering what kind of wedding traditions should I be prepared for in this area? I come from a caucasian family and have lived in the midwest and also in the southeast, but never the southwest. My boyfriend's family is hispanic. Most speak English fluently, but some don't, and most are bilingual.
Last week, he and I attended a friend of the family's 50 yr wedding anniversary, where they re-said their vows and had a big reception. On each table was a pile of "Mexican wedding cookies" or something like that which I'd never heard of or seen. My boyfriend's mom explained it was a tradition in this area and that we should do it at our wedding. This got me thinking - what other kind of traditions should I be aware of???? I want our wedding to be a balance of cultures and not just about his side of the family (which he is totally ok with) but I also don't want to offend his mom or other family members. If I know what's coming, I can be prepared
