Do these two go hand in hand? Someone told me you cant just do one or the other, you have to do both. I was just planning on doing the lazo, would this be ok? Also, would it be ok if I borrowed my cousins lazo? Someone also told me its not something that can be borrowed, that I would have to get my own. Any opinions?? Thanks!!
Re: If you do the lazo, do you also have to do the monedas?
No, the lasso and the arras are two totally separate things, you don't have to have both. What is indespensible for the lasso ceremony, however, is something you can kneel on, because you will have to be on your knees for this part of the ceremony. Most people use cojines, and my father, an ordained minister, says during the ceremonies that he performs, that the cojines represent the support husband and wife give to one another.
As far as using your cousin's lasso, I don.t see anything wrong with it. But you could find a fairly cheap one online so that you can have your own as a keepsake for your home
