Weddingbee boards
Great! 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.
I agree, Latino is a much more inclusive term. Sure, there are huge Spanish influences in Latin American culture, but indigenous and African cultures also had a significant impact. Good idea!
Awesome! 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.
cool idea to change it! actually, i'd never heard of the word "Spanish" person until i moved to the east coast. 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.
Thank you for changing it! 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.

I agree with others, IMO "Spanish" is refering to people of Spanish decent only, vs. latino/latina that covers a wider range of backgrounds.
I think it’s great!, actually the first time I saw that there was different boards I thought this was just for people from Spain, lol
Thank you!!

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!
