Congratulations!

Traditional weddings in Mexico are full of customs and rituals that are steeped in Mexican history and the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. Many traditions still practiced in Mexican weddings date back as far as seven centuries. These traditions are rich in symbolism, and include a mix of prayer and festivity. Mexican weddings are almost always held in a Catholic church, and the couple are considered married for eternity. From the ceremony to the mariachi music in the ending procession, Mexican weddings are beautiful celebrations of love.

Visit to the central square, or "Jardin" this afternoon, and were fortunate enough to see this wedding procession, including the burro, who was festooned with flowers for the occasions. I LOVE SAN MIGUEL!
