Lorena and Serbando (aka Jessy) had a wonderful Mexican themed wedding last week. It was definitely an eye-opener for Ricky and I to learn all about the Mexican wedding traditions. Their wedding day was a perfect celebration of their love for one another. There was wonderful music playing throughout the day by an amazing Mariachi band. And the fiesta ended with everybody dancing the night away. I am not kidding! It amazed me that every guest was born to be a dancer. We were so excited & honored to be a part of their big day. Cheers to you Lore and Jessy!

A lasso of rosary beads was placed around their neck to symbolize unity and protection of the marriage.

As Ricky and I were standing there waiting for the bouquet toss, I saw Lorena and Jessy climbed up on the chairs and I had no idea what they were doing. So I asked one of the girls standing next to me and she explained that in Mexican tradition, the bride and groom stand on chairs with a veil between them like a bridge. Before the bouquet toss, all the girls form a line and dance around the room and always go under the veil when they pass by. It was so much fun and I think this should be done at every wedding!
