¡Parceros! creo que aquí no conocemos ese término, Méx. :) - AntMexico, Jan 3, 2011
By the way, we don't like "México" written with "j" ;P - AntMexico, Jan 3, 2011
A poco no? Antoine, anything else you wanted to add? ;P - bomberapolaca, Jan 4, 2011

Which state? In the countryside or in the city?

That will be Cuernavaca, most probably :) - bomberapolaca, Jan 3, 2011
As far as I know it will be in Cuerna, so in the city. - bomberapolaca, Jan 3, 2011

Bueno, hoy en día se regalan electrodomésticos en las bodas de las ciudades, planchas, licuadoras, batidoras, etc, esto lo hacen por lo regular los familiares y amigos muy cercanos al matrimonio. Pero considerando que vienes del extranjero el regalo más bonito sería que trajeras algo tradicional de tu país, por ejemplo: una escultura, una pintura es decir algo novedoso para decorar la casa del matrimonio, los esposos estarán maravillados de tener en su casa algo diferente a todo lo que hay aquí en México.

Sobre qué decir, pues se dicen cosas como: Les deseo que sean muy felices y que la vida los colme de cosas maravillosas. Pensando especialmente en ustedes escogí este regalo especial que traje desde mi país. Ojalá que les guste mucho

Se acostumbra poner todos los regalos sobre una mesa especial, así que envuélvelo, ponle un gran moño y adjunta alguna tarjeta de felicitación que lleve tu nombre para que así sepan quién se los dió.

 " no estoy segura que comprar para recién casados pobrecitos"  

` Mi marido y yo asistimos a una boda mexicana hace dos semanas. Los novios no son adinerados; de hecho, tienen pocos recursos. Les compramos una vajilla bien bonita en LANS; recibieron otra vajilla, dos baterías de ollas, varios electrodomésticos, toallas, sábanas, e incluso ropa.

Taxco es un pueblo de artesanías en plata. Te sugiero que regales un juego de té o algo de Polish pottery smile A los mexicanos nos encanta presumir objetos que vienen de otro país lejano.

I'm not Mexican...so I can't answer your question as well as I'd like to. All I know of Mexican tradition (from friends) is the following:

Food, drinks and other merriment

Traditional foods at weddings 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. Salsa, merengue and the flamenco guitar music add a Latin flare to the reception.

Mariachi music consists of trumpets, drums, guitars, as well as harps and violins. The men wear black suits, their pants laced with silver. They may also dress in white. Music from the Veracruz region is played with more delicacy.

Musicians from northern Mexico dress in blue satin, with white frills and wear cowboy boots. Their music has a distinct staccato beat. Although the snare drum leads, accordion sounds will also be heard.

Wedding traditions

In ancient times, weddings were held in the bride's yard or house. The groom traveled by horse to the bride's house and after the wedding ceremony took his wife in a palanquin (cart) to his parents' house to live. The bride and groom wore formal court costumes for the wedding ceremony. Ordinary people were permitted to wear the luxurious clothes only on their wedding day. Hand lanterns are used for lighting the way from the groom's home to the bride's home on the night before the wedding. Traditionally, the groom's family would carry a wedding chest filled with gifts for the bride's family.

Wedding ducks are a symbol for a long and happy marriage. Cranes are a symbol of long life and may be represented on the woman's sash.

In larger cities, luxury hotels will have 'wedding rooms' used specifically for wedding ceremonies. These rooms are decorated with a wedding motif and rented to couples.

Oh God, that looks life a fairy tale. The first part is all about the countryside, I guess, no? - bomberapolaca, Jan 3, 2011
