• In mexican weddings you ask padrinos (literally translates to godparents but in this case means wedding sponsors) to pay for these gifts and present them to you during the ceremony.
• Traditional foods include spicy rice, beans, tortilla dishes, using chicken and beef. Sangria is served. It is a cold drink made from red or white wine mixed with brandy, sugar, fruit juice and soda water. Enchiladas baby!!
• In some cities of northern Mexico, there is the tradition of giving a ring called "of promise" that occurs before the ring of commitment, sometimes up to a year before giving the one of commitment.
• Prior to leaving the home for the ceremony, the bride's mother (or parents) offers a prayer with the bride.
• The Thirteen Gold Coins-(Trece monedas de oro): The groom gives the bride thirteen gold coins as a symbol of his unquestionable trust and confidence. He pledges that he places all of his goods into her care and safekeeping. Acceptance by the bride means taking that trust and confidence unconditionally with total dedication and prudence. Thirteen gold coins (arras) are given to the bride by the bridegroom, signifying he will support her.
• The madrina de copas carries the wine glasses for the toast. Madrinas or padrinos carry a prayer book, a rosary, a guest book for signatures and an embroidered pillow to commemorate the day. There also is a madrina de velacion, who the bride has chosen to turn to for guidance throughout her married life. God parents of the bride and bridegroom give the couple a prayer book, rosary, and kneeling pillow for the ceremony. The last persons in the procession carry the recuerdos, which are remembrances given to the guests. In addition there can be several sets of wedding sponsors, similar to god parents, who look after the couple promising them financial and spiritual aid.
• The Sign of the Cross-(Muestra de la cruz): The priest makes the sign of the cross over the groom's head. The groom kisses the cross. The bride kisses the cross. (This represents the swearing of faithfulness to one another.)
• As part of the ceremony to symbolize unity, a large loop of rosary beads or a lasso (cord) is placed in a figure eight shape around the necks of the couple after they have exchanged their vows. It also is beautiful when made of entwined orange blossoms (which symbolize fertility and happiness). A double rosary lasso may also be given by one set of the parents and may be blessed with holy water three times in honor of the trinity.

A special person/couple places the lasso around the shoulders of the bride and groom, groom's shoulder's first. The lasso may also be tied around their wrists. The couple wears the lasso throughout the remainder of the service. (The loop is symbolic of their love which should bind the couple together everyday as they equally share the responsibility of marriage for the rest of their lives.) At the end of the ceremony, the lasso is removed by either the couple which placed the lasso on the couple, or the priest. The lasso is given to the Bride as a memento of her becoming the mistress of the groom's heart and home.

• Favors could be wedding cookies wrapped in tulle, Spanish fans, note cards of Mexican painters, or pieces of pottery could be given.
• The guayabera is the traditional wedding shirt worn by the groom. The shirt style is about 200 years old. It is a very detailed shirt, which includes embroidered panels or pleats sewn close together vertically. The design covers both the front and back. Commonly worn with a tuxedo in a church ceremony, it is also the shirt of choice for Mexican beach weddings. A popular color is white.
• As the newlyweds leave the church, red beads may be tossed at them, to bring good luck.
• A traditional bridal veil in Mexico is known as a mantilla.
• Another child role often included in Mexican weddings is the "madrina de ramo", who carries a special bouquet of flowers for the Virgin Mary.
