In Spain at wedding receptions, someone will cry: "Vivan los novios!" and everyone shouts in reponse: "Viva!" and the whole room toasts. This happens many times, many times throughout the wedding night (and everyone gets very drunk!)</p> <p>Sometimes there's also a chant that starts and spreads around the room: "Que se besan! Que se besan!"</p> <p>I'm wondering if these are only Spanish traditions, or if similar traditions exist in parts of Latin America?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/traditional-mexican-wedding-dress-san-francisco-bay-area#post-3210686 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:40:04 +0000 fresitachulita 3210686@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't call this traditional...this just has an indigenous flair to it. It's pretty though.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/hey-latina-bees-one-more-wording-question-for-inviations#post-3210013 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:20:53 +0000 springwedding2013 3210013@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Im doing some in spanish for my guests back home and the rest in english for all of our guests here.

I have an okay relationship with my dad, and my FI's last name just runs into my first. But, my last name rhymes with my first so it's like there is no point.&nbsp;It will literally sound like "Lee-Lee" if I just take his, or if i take his and keep mine. Sigh.... I feel so stupid because my name is going to sound retarded, but I really want to take his name. I like the "de" solution, but FI and his fam don't use it. :P</p>
