    Hey guys!  So we're a few weeks from our extravaganza and I (being the chele chula) have no idea when/how to do the Lasso.  My priest doesn't either (he's from Boston!) and I can't seem to get a straight answer from the church where the ceremony is held or from my fiance's family (you'd think they would know)!  Does anyone have a nice summary of the Lasso for the priest to mention and where in the Mass it goes?

    Thanks so much!

    Check out my answer on this other post below. You can view my wedding program for what to say, and where it goes in the order of things, and there is a link to my video if you want to see what it looks like.

    I have never heard of this. I am marrying in a catholic church. Wonder if I need to know about this too?

    I can attach my wedding program which has it.  Mine will be a bilingual mass, and includes the lasso.

    I think Mrs Hydrangea did this, too; check out some of her archived posts.

    @<font size="2" color="#81a026">MsHymanRoth</font> : The lasso is more of a cultural thing than a CAtholic thing.  It's a Latin or Filipino tradition that takes place during a CAtholic wedding ceremony.

    OMG Chela, that is PERFECT!  I love that it's also bilingual (we're having one reading in Spanish)  Thanks to everyone for their help...if I remember, I'll post my bit in here too.

    Hi guys, you should note that if you use my program it is meant to be printed on an "11X 13" size sheet of paper and folded into three, so that when you open the flap you see the "Thank Yous", and the bridal party is listed on the left.  They came out really nice and it was easy to print as no cutting was needed, just folding.  Also, if the reading was read aloud in English, it was printed in Spanish and vice-versa.

    It's not a lasso its called a cord hahaha so funny

    I'm filipino so I see it all the time; first it comes after the wedding vows, the couple kneel, a pair pre-chosen lights two candles symbolizing enlightenment, another couple pins  aveil on you and your husband another couple then puts a pre-made cord around the two of you

     

    you remain kneeling til communion, they start taking it off, cord, then veil; befor ethis the man exchanges 13 gold coins and puts it in the brides hand a sign he will take care of her; the cord ties you together you shouldnt come apart

     

    it's an old Filipino custom, I didnt know the Spanish did it too

     

    if you are interested I can show anyone a video clip; if its not part of your culture hmmmm thats may be hard to do; theres  a particular sequence
