Traditions That Make It Yours
From cultural customs and meaningful rituals to family traditions and expressions of faith, we'll help you create a ceremony that reflects what matters most to you.
Available in English, Spanish, or both.
Many couples weave a tradition into their ceremony. Tell us which one speaks to you and we'll explain it to your guests and build it into the moment, so everyone understands what it means.
El Lazo
Your sponsors (padrinos) place a decorative cord or rosary in a figure eight around your shoulders: two lives bound together as one.
Las Arras
Thirteen blessed coins pass from one partner to the other, a promise to share everything and to care for each other in every season.
Unity Candle
Two candles, lit by your families, light a single candle together: two families becoming one.
Sand Ceremony
Two colors of sand poured into one vessel, a blend that can never be separated. No flame to fight the wind.
Handfasting
Your hands are bound with ribbon or cord as you make your promises, the origin of "tying the knot."
Love Letter & Wine Box
You each write a letter, seal it in a box with a bottle of wine, and open it together on a future anniversary.
Ring Warming
Your rings pass from hand to hand among your guests, each one adding a silent blessing before the exchange.
Readings & Blessings
A parent, grandparent or close friend shares a reading, a prayer or a blessing, in the language closest to their heart.
