Good live entertainment always helps, and the Peruvians at our wedding loved&nbsp; dancing to salsa.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-to-address-peruvian-in-laws-please-help#post-466616 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:40:54 +0000 bluebutterfly 466616@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I do have a question for you too!&nbsp; Did your husband incorporate his culture into your wedding?&nbsp; My dad plans to make some tasty Peruvian dishes and maybe hire a salsa band.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-to-address-peruvian-in-laws-please-help#post-466612 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:39:14 +0000 bluebutterfly 466612@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I can ask my father...he is Peruvian and I do know depending on your social class over there things can be rather formal..perhaps I should ask my mom too!&nbsp; She had to spend nearly a year in Peru with my father after there marriage.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-to-address-peruvian-in-laws-please-help#post-466532 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:13:32 +0000 jamie80218 466532@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Maybe you should stick to the Mr. and Mrs. If they want things to be more casual, I'm sure that they will say "oh, please call me firstname." It is always better to be more formal than casual as to not offend anybody.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-to-address-peruvian-in-laws-please-help#post-466508 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:06:27 +0000 bumblebeeme 466508@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hello Fellow Bees,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm a newlywed, married to a Peruvian. I don't know what the proper way is to address my in-laws. The most natural thing for me to do would be to call them by their first names, but I don't know if they want that.&nbsp; My parents told my hubby straightaway that he should call them by their first names, so he's got no issue.</p> <p>Until the wedding my inlaws they were Mr and Mrs to me, but it's unnatural to call your inlaws that once you're married, I think.&nbsp; I've asked my husband to ask them what they want to be called and whether I can call them by their first name, but he's resisting that conversation. He says things in Peru are a lot more formal than here and he thinks I should stick to the Mr and Mrs.</p> <p>Does anyone know what to do or what the custom for this is in Peru..Since my husband has been in the US since he was little and his grandparents live in Peru, he doesn't know for sure what the customs are.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/any-colombians-or-puerto-ricans-out-there#post-456808 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:49:27 +0000 future mrs w 456808@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I am Puerto Rican and FI is half Puerto Rican and half West Indian (Barbadian). We both grew up in the Bronx so don't really know of many wedding traditions from Puerto Rico and since PR is so americanized anyway I am not sure there are myny like the other hispanic/latin countries. I do know that in PR it is customary to have Padrinos but not sure if we're having any</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/any-colombians-or-puerto-ricans-out-there#post-456566 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:58:02 +0000 floridabeachbride 456566@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My fiance is puerto rican! His parents are both PRican, but they haven't made any request except salsa/latin music and there has to be rum! lol.</p> <p>His grandparents only speak Spanish so we were going to have the vows in english/ than in spanish or try to add something in spanish for them. even though my spanish is VERY bad, I still try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/any-colombians-or-puerto-ricans-out-there#post-456548 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:45:53 +0000 stine_white 456548@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My FI is Colombian as well and I've been asking what traditions he wants to include. &nbsp;He can't think of any specific rituals or anything that he wants to include, but we've come up with a few ways to include his heritage. &nbsp;We are having our rehearsal dinner at our favorite Colombian restaurant, will be serving aguardiente at the reception, and will have Colombian candy included somewhere (still figuring that out.) &nbsp;We are also playing a lot of Latin music (still debating about the DJ v. band) and will be dancing a cumbia for our first dance. &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/spanish-brides/page/2#post-439678 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:14:56 +0000 future mrs w 439678@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ok so another BORICUA(Puerto Rican) here. My FI is half Puerto Rican and half West Indian(Barbados). We are not really incorporating any of our heritages except for the live band and dj which will be playing Salsa,Merengue,Bachata all night. FI was born and raised in Bronx, NY and I was raised there so we don't know what traditions there are in PR. I am thinking of&nbsp;using Padrinos though&nbsp;</p>
