As the other ladies have mentioned there is a difference. I much prefer Latino/Latina over Spanish or Hispanic. Anyway, WMForever you are correct in that the word Spanish is used loosely on the east coast in describing anyone who is Latino. Nothing really wrong with it, it just isn't 100% correct.

From what i gather everyone here, even "Latino" people ask me if i'm "spanish" and i'm guessing its related to the language. So I say yes. Most people mean no harm in it, its just the East coast word for "Latino". So either one is fine. But I'm most comfortable with Latino.

There is a definite difference.  Thanks for changing it! There may be a need for a Spanish board if there are some Castellano brides or even brides getting married in Spain on here but Latino/Latina is the term for people from Latin America, which - like NoMeDiga said - has heavy Indigenous and African roots.

Sure, there are huge Spanish influences in Latin American culture, but indigenous and African cultures also had a significant impact. Good idea!

I was never quite sure if that category meant the culture of Spain, the country in Europe, or latino culture which could be from all over Central America, South Anerica and the Caribbean. mrbee on "Spanish versus Latino" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/spanish-versus-latino#post-53714 Sat, 24 May 2008 10:10:11 +0000 mrbee 53714@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Hey guys!  We got some feedback that the word Latino would be a better name for this category... so we went ahead and renamed it.  Let us know what you think!
