Getting Married To A Mexican American

I`m assuming you mean "hispanic". I also hope you aren`t serious (like the silly little girl who also answered). Any woman who automatically assumes that people of mexican descent can`t have elegant and sophisticated weddings is definitely a racist.......and doesn`t know many "hisanic" people.

Forget the BIGOT who replied the nasty message about Mexicans. I am Mexican...my family is a very proud family. One RICH in cluture and diversity. She is obviously a closed minded individual who hates anyting that it not white. Anywa...to answer your question on "Hispanics" - the proper word would be LATINO...you could incorporate many tropical themes. That is what we`re doing. Not everything has to be "Fiesta" like. Also, at the ceremony you can incorporate the lasso, the coins, the rosary etc.

I just want to say all of you supposedly WOMEN are ADULTS should not be IGNORANT. Life is to short to be saying nasty things wether your black white hispanicand it it spelled HISPANIC NOT HISANIC or blue. It`s a wedding and whom ever you marry it`s because you love them and you are ONLY asking for advice! There is no need to be RUDE to the other signifant other!

Obviously the person that posted that nasty remark doesn`t realize that the people she insulted are some of the most loving, respectful and hardest working people on this earth. She is also obviously a product of her environment and is to ignorant to think for herself only spitting out the negitivity that she most likely grew up with. Anyone who has a lack of respect for others has a lack of respect for themselves. People like you are the reason why I am sometimes ashamed to be white. (Oh, and I`m dating a man from Argentina and I`m damn proud!!)

If you really want to incorporate the Mexican culture into your wedding that way honoring your future husband, why don`t you try real authentic mexican food? Also some good tequila; that must be present. By the way, "burritos" are not authentic mexican food. Try tamales, chilaquiles, maybe pozole, or chicken in mole. Ask your future husband, he will know all these types of food.

No she didn`t say that! I bet she thinks that we are all short and dark. Everyone that looks that way is supposed to. We come in all colors and shape. We might even look like her. With light skin and colored eyes and mistake us for being "WHITE". Plus we all just don’t come from Mexico. There’s Latin American, Central America, Cuban, Pico Rico, Spain and you get the point. We are proud to say who we are as people and where our Ancestors came from. I wonder if she knows where her family came from and there history. This county is made up of many different ethics backgrounds. I`m proud to stay that am fifth gerenation American Mexican, Spaniard, Native America. Which means that my family was here when U.S.A. Was Mexico? I’m proud to be who I am. Can she say that? So in reality most of us have been here longer then her and her family. She sounds so ignorant. I just don’t know why people talk so negative about one another. We should all live in peace with one other. Life is to short! I bet she love are food and drink Margaritas!!!!! Peace, much love to all my people!

Hi, I am going to say one thing to the person that was not very nice......... I feel sorry for you that you have no respect for yourself and I hope that one day you will learn to have that respect and learn to love yourself. Please for those that reply after me do all a favor and do not acknowledge what he/she said that gives hate the power....thank you. Now onto your question hispanics/mexicans/latinos are one of the most elegant cultures there are. I take it that even though you plan to marry this man that you do not know anything about him for he is his culture. Quinceaneras` are very elegant (the young lady wears bridal style dresses). Weddings are also a very elegant occasion and very much about family not just about food and pinatas(hope I spelt that right). My suggestion to you is to take the time and learn more about your husband to be. His culture is very important and you need to learn about because one day it will be your childerns culture as well. I am not hispanic/mexican/latino I am Italian and my husband is native american and I regret that we over time have lost our cultures. DO NOT let that happen here.

I;m Mexican/Latina and my husband is a "chicano"Mexican/American And he does not speak spanish so I feel you, you want ideas well you can try mexican food that is very traditonal also you can add "madrinas" that means family members that help you with the expensses of the wedding for example the person you and youre feuture to be husband choose lets say limo will be the madrina. And in regards to the colors I think its what you want it is youre day but you may want to ask youre fiance what is his mexican traditon good luck!!!

How to plan a wedding by April 2006?

Can some one let me know if it is posible to plan my wedding in two months.

Well it`s going to be alittle stressfull! But you can do it. I`m planning mine for May of this year. I`m doing it with some help from my sister. Instead of a big wedding (Church& Hall) I`m getting Married in a old Chapel and having the dinner and reception at my sister house. My buget is $2000.00. Instead of having a cake , We are going to do cupcakes About less then $20.00. (cupcaketree.com). Table and chairs rental $275. I`m also going to make my own invites. You don`t need a dress that going to cost you mega money. I belive you can do it. Unstead of 300 people go for 175. Invite the people you have been there for you and your future husband. Good Luck.

Pamela,
How did your wedding turn out. I hope everything went well. I also married a man of Mexican decent. I didn`t have to do much at all, his entire family took care of everything. We just picked out our clothes and some decorations and they made the cake, decorated the hall, arranged for the church. Everything was taken care of and we had a great time. I hope everything goes O.K. For you. Good Luck in your future.

I`m sorry that all those people were so nasty to you. You were just looking for wedding advice. My fiance is Mexican and I want to incorperate his family`s traditions into our wedding. I really like the idea of using the lasso and the gold coins. I love the symbolism.
