Photo book in Spanish??

knottied433f797762eafdb — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 23:26:41 +0000

Hi all, I need some advice. My father in law recently got remarried and I wanted to surprise them with a photo book of their wedding pictures (It was a whole last minute hassle). My issue is their primary language is Spanish, mine is not. I can't find a good photo book site that has layouts premade. I had mine made on mixbook and I love it, but they were married in a Spanish Catholic ceremony so none of theirs fits the style. Any suggestions or am I stuck making one from scratch and hoping for the best?

Help!

Ok.. So.. I found out a few years ago that I'm half Puerto Rican.. I didn't grow up with any of the heritage or traditions. But I'm getting married next March and My reception decorations are fiesta themed.. What can I do during the actual wedding itself to maybe incorporate my PR heritage? Should I have multiple colors in my wedding party? What about flowers? I really dk.. Somebody help me please.. My mother is no help and my bio side (PR side) wants nothing to do with me.. But I feel like this is just something I want to embrace..

Music timeline

ggomez1 — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 00:55:10 +0000

Hi, I wanted to jump on here because I was curious to see if anyone had any ideas for a music timeline or template? I am Mexican and my FH is Ecuadorian. But we have decided that we for sure want a DJ and a live banda or grupo and possibly a mariachi. Any recommendations on how to make this work?

Tradition of Padrinos- Question

Knottie32987281 — Sun, 30 Dec 2018 22:09:34 +0000

Please no hate, I am asking a serious question here to try and help make my wedding amazing for everyone. Also sorry if I ramble!

I am American, and my fiancé is Mexican, his parents moved here with him when he was around 7, and he has a few other aunts and uncles that live in America too (most of them go back and forth from America to Mexico), and so much of their beliefs and culture have stayed true to when they lived/grew up in Mexico (which is awesome, please no one take that wrong). One tradition is that of Padrinos for big life events, such as our upcoming wedding. From the conversations I have had with my fiancé and with his family is that being asked to be a padrino is a huge honor among hispanics, something that is looked forward to, and that is also pretty much expected. I want to incorporate as many important traditions as I can for my FH and FIL's because I know these things are meaningful and important to them, however I feel awkward with the padrino aspect because of the whole asking people to give money/pay for things-even though that is part of the tradition and people are offering.

I guess my big question (in all of this rambling haha) is how have you other brides dealt with this or felt about this and did you feel it was ok to say yes and let people take on these responsibilities?

Wedding Mass Outline Including Lazo & Arras

DianaGC2 — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 19:47:58 +0000

My priest has never performed a wedding ceremony using Hispanic traditions (lazo and arras), does anyone know when in mass they occur? He specifically asked "does it happen after the gospel? After vows?" I have been googling and only find an outline or program including one or the other but not both. ANy help or guidance would be appreciated.

Civil wedding first but ceremony 1 year after... (non church)

Knottie9e4abe2f7093e558 — Sun, 10 Sep 2017 01:03:18 +0000

Hi Ladies,

I have been searching like crazy and couldn't find anything. I hope you can help with no judgement please!

I'm getting married via the civil court first and the year after we will do the reception. However the ceremony will be held outdoors not in my parish. Does anyone know if I still need an officiant? I still want someone to unite us in front of everyone with a non denominational speech. Is this even a thing?

Thoughts?

Thank you all!

extremely stressed with cultural differences!

Knottie1472421641 — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 01:19:11 +0000

Hi all!

I have been venue hunting for a few months now and I have nothing accomplished except being overly stressed.

#1 Catholic ceremony is at 2pm and most venues don't want to begin cocktail hour until 7pm! I am so over people at the venues asking if we can just change the ceremony... and then I read threads where people are bashing brides for having a large gap time and saying it is so inconsiderate and they should just re-think having a Church wedding. I don't know... I mean is that a "choice" you make? I'm pretty sure getting married at a Catholic Church is NOT questionable a choice for us, but thats just me.

#2 - weddings ending at 9 or 10. My family is very Colombian. Wedding receptions for us are huge parties- I've gone to some (in Spain) that ended at 4am. Ending my reception at 9 or 10 is not an option. I even think 12 is a bit early and prefer 1am but I will settle for 12. Most of my family would still be wanting to continue dancing and just having a great time.

Basically - I never realized the big cultural differences in weddings when it comes to receptions. I wonder if I will find a venue that caters to Religious Church Ceremony/Culturally different receptions and that wont be double the $$. Maybe I am asking for too much.

Big Dominican Wedding/Small budget NJ

FutureMrsHague — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 01:23:17 +0000

I just got engaged a week and a half ago and I still can't believe it! My fiance and I will be paying for our wedding ourselves with some contributions from my parents (don't know exact amounts). My mom has a party decor business and we are very DYI between her my sister and I so that I am most excited for. We want to have Dominican or Latin food at our wedding and will likely have about 100-115 people. We went to a wedding at Baldpate Mountain in NJ for a coworker and I loved it and would like to find something similar. It was so simple yet so beautiful. I don't care about fancy invitations or big centerpieces so I can skimp on those items. I also already have someone for DJ/Entertainment. My friend brought in the catering to her venue which I would like to do because of the type of food we want. It also had a small indoor area where the bar and bathrooms were. Is it possible to have a simple wedding in NJ for under $10000 that meets these needs? I have been scouring the boards here and on Wedding Bee and so far I found Schooley's Mountain Lodge as closest to what we are looking for. Any advice would be incredibly helpful. We cannot cut the guest list as I have a large family and the number is already without kids included so any other ways you guys can suggest to make it happen would be great! We don't have an exact date but sometime in Fall or early 2018 would be ideal.

Mexican/American wedding-DIY music advice

frolicintheforest — Fri, 12 Jun 2015 20:27:49 +0000

Ok, so I am of Mexican descent and enjoy Spanish speaking music a lot as does a lot of my family. We will be going the DIY music route and wanted to know from fellow Mexican American brides (and if anyone is or knows a DJ that has advice on multicultural weddings) on how you would go about the music order. I LOVE LOVE LOVE both english and spanish. I will dance to pretty much anything. We started making a list of music and asked others for what they wanted to hear. In my head, I thought it would make sense to to a few Spanish then a few English, few Spanish, few English. So switching back and forth and ending with music that I know both sides will dance to like generic party music like LMFAO, etc. How did you music play out at your wedding or what advice do you have on the order of music? I don't think it's a huge deal as I know both sides will dance to each others music but for those who will on'y dance to specific types of music-what do you think?

Thank you in Advance!

Catholic Wedding after Civil marriage

mrspgarcia — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 18:04:26 +0000

My husband and I are getting married through the church and will receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, but I am stuck on the wording for the invitation. I am not catholic but my husband is and our children have been baptized in our catholic church. I would like to include that we are having a mass and refer to the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Does this sound right?

P R and M A Garcia request the honour of your presence as they are blessed before God through the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and celebration of a nuptial mass on Saturday, the eighth of August two thousand and fifteen at one o'clock in the afternoon at (name and address of church)?

Here it is in Spanish, which I think sounds better:

Nosotros P R y M A Garcia nos presentamos ante Dios para recibir su bendición a través del Sagrado Sacramento Matrimonial. Les invitamos a compartir nuestra felicidad el Sábado, ocho de Agosto, 2015 a la una de la tarde

Advice would be greatly appreciated!

little bride, little groom

Knottie8599941 — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:09:05 +0000

Ok ladies so I need your help. when i was younger in all the latino weddings besides the flower girl and ring boy there was a little bride and little groom I always was the little bride and never the flower girl (talk about jealously issues). Does anyone know why they had this tradition and if so is it still common in todays weddings.

Traditions of Puerto Rico

Esther Morales — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 23:55:15 +0000

Everyone I know (especially NY'ericans), inquire about using Puerto Rican tradition - cherishing the rituals of the past, for their wedding.Except for capias and bride dolls, there are no unusual wedding traditions. But you can always give your wedding a Puerto Rican flavor.When you think of things Puerto Rican you think of; coquí, orchids, tropics, palm trees, seashells, Taíno Indians, guitars, coconuts, rum, pig roast, and amapolas flowers). You can use things in the wedding and party that remind us of our Isla del Encanto (Island of Song).The wedding party could be held in the bride's parents house and yard area. That is traditional because long ago there were no ballrooms for rent. A beach, park or somewhere outside is the key to tradition. Perhaps a lovely ceremony in a garden followed by a ballroom or party space indoors - a pool with palm trees set up would also give tribute to the island.Lights were strung on the trees outside to light the yard for the party - it gives a rustic feel, but also makes the night magical. Wealthy families would serve a large banquet, "jibaritos" (country old-timers) served a lechón on la varita. That sounds like an unforgettable event - doesn't it? (Translation: roast pork rotisserie or on spigot as in Hawaii luaus). Serve all Puerto Rican foods and desserts including fresh fruit (pineapple,oranges, lemon/lime centerpieces. Serve "quenapas", a fruit that crosses a lime, a kiwi and a peach. They are usually available in the states for an April wedding. Guava or guava sweet paste on fancy crackers as part of appetizers is a treat before the first course is served or along with dessert/wedding cake.Make the wedding cake coconut, rum, or pineapple flavored or serve a "dulce de leche" (sweet milk with caramel) or "tres leche" (milk and sweet cream) wedding cake. As well, have a rum or vodka/pineapple martini signature drink served in coconut cups or glasses with Puerto Rico flag stirrers.Cake decorations may include seashells,palm trees, pineapple motifs, and flowers specific to the island. The wedding "brindis" used to be made using coconut cups because there were no fancy glass goblets. This was the traditional "toast." The bride and groom may drink a traditional café con leche (espresso) using coconut cups - done more like a ritual and photo opportunity. A traditional brindis may also be included using a flavored coffee liquor or a sweet fruit cognac like Grand Marnier with a toothpick skewer of orange, cherry, pineapple and grape.The "capias" or flower pin are attached to ribbons that hung from the bridal bouquet. At the reception the bride and groom cut off the capias from the bouquet and pin them on the guests, or some prefer to pin the capias on the Wedding Doll (usually a 16" doll with a tailor made ball gown and the capias are pinned below the waist and the entire circumference of the dress. This is a great way for the bride and groom to make contact with each guest. The capias traditionally, had a piece of “abeto” fern (spiny fern used in weddings) attached to it (about 5 inches of fern), and the capia sat in the middle of the fern. The fern lasts a long time. The capias include a piece of folded narrow ribbon printed with the bride and groom’s names on one end, and the date of the wedding on the other. This ribbon can be ordered just about anywhere that sells bridal invites. This is a nice favor or an addition to a favor. The guests where them on their lapel or shoulder of their dresses.The bride's bouquet was made using wild flowers of Puerto Rico – mostly amapolas, but also flamboyán flowers, and margaritas (include local greenery and abeto). Puerto Rico has over 50 native orchid species. Use orchids.The bouquet may include a fan - in Puerto Rico fans were a traditional part of a woman's attire. Wealthy women had fans in different colors to match their clothing. There is a long and detailed history of fans - too long to go into now. Bridesmaids may also carry a fan and an amapola (maybe a silk amapola, the official flower of Puerto Rico. Most people compare them to the Hawaiian Hibiscus flower.During the ceremony - in very low volume - play a tape of coquí sounds - that would be most romantic.The Doll (La Muneca) - At the traditional Puerto Rican reception it is customary for a doll, dressed similar to the bride, to be placed at the head of the main table. The doll can be a Barbie or a larger doll. She wears a wedding dress to match the bride's.The bride and groom may choose a danza criolla, a Puerto Rican waltz. La Borinqueña is a waltz and a very traditional song making tribute and expressing love to the couple and the island. There are many, many beautiful Puerto Rican orchestra pieces for ballroom dancing as well.If you are interested in the Taíno (Native American) culture use strings of seashell jewelry for the bridal party and to decorate the gift or cake table. Centerpieces could reflect our Taíno heritage using petroglyphs somehow. Use lots of candles too.Centerpieces - make small palm trees using “abeto” ferns for centerpieces and decorate with seashells, flowers and the like.If you can afford it, hire a local Puerto Rican folk dance group to entertain during dinner.Of course - play traditional and modern Puerto Rican music, "Bachata,", "Salsa," "Merengue" and hip hop "Reggaeton" as well.Flowers were used to decorate the church, house, and the yard. Again these were flowers that grew wild including amapolas, margaritas and flamboyán flowers as well as local greenery and palm branches.Select a wedding invitation with a tropical theme like ferns, palm trees, or sea shells.Select matching napkins. Also, traditional to the Island is cigars. Many older generations remember their "abuelo" (grandfathers) rolling fresh tobacco in leaves of the Island and smoking them for times of celebration. Now, there are several cigar rollers who go to your reception and set up a table. Be sure to check with your venue if they allow smoking in their outside spaces or each guest can receive it as a flowers. For the children, give them a bag of coconut candies, child-safe sparklers for the Taino Indians worshipped the sun, the moon and used fire as part of their religious practices celebrating the Great Spirit.If you need napkin rings they can be made using elastic and have a sea shell on top with some ferns. The napkin rings are those rings that hold the silverware that has been rolled on a napkin. You could also use "bling" and glue on one of the flowers or add a silver or gold novelty sea shell to upscale the look.Honeymoon – a Caribbean Cruise, or some Island hopping, of course -- including St. Thomas and other nearby islands.!Salud y un abrazo fuerte!Related links:

Married before Ceremony in Puerto Rico

Knottie74855929 — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 13:53:28 +0000

My Partner and I are are planning to get married soon. She is currently deployed and we want to go ahead and get married upon her return. Our problem is a lot of the locations in which family and friends would be able to make a halfway point or a vacation are not same sex marriage friendly. So the plan is to get married in a Legal state and then have a ceremony later, in Puerto Rico. Would we just need to have the officiant treat this as a vowel renewal or are the normal vowels okay? Since would be no need for legal documentation I assume any vowels are pretty much okay? Any assistance or other helpful info would be appreciated

Puerto Rican traditions

leah2489 — Wed, 11 May 2011 21:51:00 +0000

Hi everyone :) So, I am a white girl marrying a Puerto Rican and I have no idea how to incorporate his culture into our wedding. Are there any specific wedding traditions that they follow? I would also like to find a way to make everything bilingual, but it seems like too much to have everything written and spoken in both English and Spanish-i don't want the ceremony to last an hour lol. Any advice or ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

BTW, I asked him these questions and he has no idea.

Thanks!!!

Wedding in Ecuador

amyncarlos — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 13:59:41 +0000

This may be a long shot, but is there anyone out there that is planning or has been to a wedding in Ecuador that could offer any advice on major differences between weddings there and in the states?

My fiance is from Guayaquil and we are planning our wedding in Salinas in March of 2011. I have one friend there that is going to help me with planning but I would like to see if anyone else has any advice.

I put the wedding website together in both english and spanish, and my sister-in-law is designing two sets of invitations and save-the-dates in each language. I already bought my dress here and brought it there on my last trip down and left it at his parents house.

I will be moving to Ecuador in September and plan on living there for the next two years or so, so I will be able to work directly with florists, photographers etc.

My major concerns are that I don't know what is traditional in an Ecuadorian wedding and how to make sure everything goes smoothly for my guests from Minnesota who are coming down for the wedding. Also any advice on appropriate attire for the wedding party, I really like the idea of knee-length chiffon dresses for the girls and khaki suits for the guys.

Thanks!!

Prayers/wording for arras and lazo in Catholic Mass?

aniluisa — Thu, 01 May 2014 16:00:46 +0000

Hi ladies - I'm having a really hard time finding the wording that's used for the part of the ceremony with the arras and the lazo. Does anyone have suggestions?What are you using?

(I'm Cuban so we're actually using a mantilla instead of a lazo, but I assume the wording is pretty much the same or can be adapted easily.)

Introduction- and question

wandajune6 — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:18:24 +0000

Hi there!

I'm not a natural fit for this board but I thought I'd introduce myself as I've been lurking for a while!

My FI was born in Mexico but is pretty Americanized as is the majority of his family. His brothers are married to Puerto Ricans, making his "side" of the family a group of people with different cultural backgrounds and dialects. To complicate things a bit more, he was raised in Catholic schools but hasn't gone to church since his son was baptist (his son turns 15 next week).

My family is mostly Eastern European Jewish, with a healthy dose of hippy. We're not at all religious but the family is proud of our heritage.

We're in sync on a day-to-day basis but are discovering that wedding planning brings out some of our cultural/religious assumptions that we hadn't talked through.

I came on this board because I want our wedding to show respect for his Mexican culture. He's never been to a non-church wedding and, while he's comfortable with our wedding being non-religious, I know that he feels like he's missing out on a few of the traditions that he grew up with. For instance, his family often includes the lazo but he thinks it only belongs in a church. I'm now struggling to find non-Catholic Mexican traditions that we include. I'm the planner of the group so I'm letting this fall on me!

Has anyone been through this? Any recommendations?

HELP! Why won't my Hispanic inlaws return RSVPs?

stacia_faye — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 21:11:44 +0000

I am a White American marrying a Mexican American, who came to the US when he was 10. His parents, aunts and uncles, and one set of grandparents have lived in Wisconsin for 15 years, but they are not "Americanized" at all and only the kids under 25 speak English. None of this is a problem for me and my family. I knew Spanish and lived in El Paso, TX for 3 years before I met my fiance, so I was already familiar with the culture. I eat the food, speak the language, listen to the music, dance.

I love my inlaws, their extended family, and their friends, and they get along great with my family. Even though our cultures are different, our families recognize we all share the same values. My fiance and I are both trying to be very considerate about culture and we are having a mixed culture wedding. Our families have both been very supportive of this.

We are having a biligual Mass, both bridesmaids and padrinos, American dinner with Mexican appetizer and tres leches cake, bilingual dj, mixed music, ect. There is one thing I did not see coming...the invitations and RSVPs.

We sent out a completely bilingual save the date, and my fiance's family was a little confused, but we explained the concept and they thought that was great. We sent out a completely bilingual invitation with a bilingual RSVP. The RSVP was a stamped post card, so all you have to do is write down how many people and put it in the mail. I asked my fiance if his family would know what to do, and he said yes. He also told his mom you are supposed to fill out the post card and send it back. But none of his family has sent back the RSVP.

I realize there is a cultural difference. In the American culture, verbal word doesn't mean anything, but written word means everything. From what I observe, the Mexican culture seems to be the opposite. Also, his family celebrations (weddings, quiceaneras, birthday parties) tend to be in cheaper venues with buffet style meals, so needing an exact count for a meal or seating chart would seem silly. But our wedding is in a country club with a sit down meal and we need a close count. How do I get his family to understand we need them to return the RSVP so we know how many tables and entrees are needed?

Girls i need help..

Rocio2012 — Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:57:21 +0000

I am already married, we just went to the courthouse because we needed to be legally married for many different reasons, anyway we would love to save money and need time to plan a beautiful wedding with all the traditions from my country but i have read that some people consider this a fake wedding since we are already married, we are thinking something small for about 60 people just family and close friends, in my country is very common to have a legal marriage and later or same day the ceremony and party. What you guys think? i really want my dress, cake pictures etc. p.s. everybody knows we are married so i am not lying to anybody.

Mexican Candy

brazilian wedding traditions?

KrissLS — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:16:43 +0000

Hi,
I am not latina but my fiance is from Brazil. I wanted to incorporate some of his culture into our wedding. Is anyone familiar with any Brazilian traditions?
The only thing I can think of is maybe having our reception catered by our favorite restaurant which is Cuban-but apparently very similar to the food his mom makes at home.

Bilingual English-spanish Officiant @New orleans #NOLA

dianablabla — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 04:16:08 +0000

Please Help!!!

This is my second post asking for help to find a bilingual officiant @ New orleans. we are ok with religious, non religious, just civil, anything!

I can't find someone who can speak both. Also finding someone who is willing to charge us something to come to our wedding and translate what the officiant says would be awesome too.. I really want my family (coming from Mexico) to feel part of the ceremony.

I already posted in craiglist and no answer either .

Thank you!! Gracias a todas!

Civil Marriage First. Religious Ceremony Later.

cecilia702 — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:29:42 +0000

Ok ladies, I am driving myself insane with my situation. BTW I am new to 'knot'.

My boyfriend and I have agreed along with our families that it is time for us to tie the knot.
(I know it sounds like we're being forced into marriage, but trust me that is not the case at all, just helps that our families are 150% behind us on this :) Not only because my parents already see my FI as their wonderful son-in-law, but both of our families all want us to start our lives together and start having children. He is my best friend and from the moment I met him I knew he was going to be the one who broke down my walls and taught me to truly love a person.

We can't afford the wedding of our dreams right now so we decided to do a simple civil marriage between the two of us for right now and then in a year or so throw the wedding we desire and can afford.

My concern is this : Can we get married at city hall and then have a Catholic ceremony?
To me that sounds like it would be the renewal of vows, but obviously that is not what I am trying to achieve.

Dominican/Southern Wedding

JennifferBaez — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:31:19 +0000

SO Here's the deal:

I'm Dominican and my fiance is American with all of his family being from the carolinas.

I'm planning for a very rustic outdoor wedding complete with stringed lights and mason jars. One of his best friends has an Indie/Bluegrass band which just goes perfect with the theme

(But I need to make a playlist for when they take breaks)

I need to make sure my family feels comfortable and not like they were just forgotten.

They will actually only be about 10% of the guests there because strangely enough my family is very small.

Has anyone done anything like this before? How should I mix Country and oldies with Merengue, Bachata, and Salsa Music??

any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!!

wedding arras

csantana1978 — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 12:33:01 +0000

I'm looking to purchase wedding arras, but can't find a place locally that sells them. I find a lot of them online, but I'm not much of an online shopper (I still like to see & feel things). I'm just worried I will buy them, and I'll get a cheap looking set. I want something really nice, since it's something I plan on holding on to. Does anyone know of a place in the Washington DC or Delaware area that I can go purchase arras? If not, has anyone had a good experience with an online vendor? I wouldn't be so worried purchasing them online if I at least had some people point me in the right direction.

SALSA, MERENGUE, REGGAETON

Bendición de Biblia y Rosario

Padrinos de Biblia y Rosario

Bendición de Arras

Padrinos de Arras

Bendición de Lazo

Padrinos de Lazo

Which is correct for all of them?

Thank you!

Hello!

So, a little back story, I guess!

My FI is from Nicaragua, and Catholic and I am American, Jewish. With Israeli, and Argentinian Family. LOL So I speak fluent Hebrew, and I understand all or mostly all spanish, but I wont lie I sometimes feel like and e-diot speaking spanish so I purposely add a gringa accent. haha

So, for starters, I dont know too much about Nicaraguan culture as far as weddings are concerned. We will be having an interfaith wedding, which will be light on the religion, but will still highlight the "big" more popular things.

We also live in South Florida, which means that 90% of my guest list is cuban, colombian, venezuelen, peruvian... you name it!

We will be playing all kinds of music at the wedding, from Israeli to spanish, to top 40 I guess.

BTW I am going to need to take dance classes as my FI is good, and Im just the gringa!

WELCOME ME WITH OPEN ARMS AMIGAS!
