Answer:

well, i could tell you my traditions. In colombia, marriages are very similar to American marriges, although we do have some differences. For example, the food and the music are totally different, Most families will host a dance as part of the celebration. Couples will dance to Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Vallenato, just about anything. But, they will dance. And so will most of the guests. and usually the party goes on until really late at night, there is a lot of drinking , specially aguardiante , which is a colombian drink. Also , many Colombian couples will follow the tradition of Las Arras. The Arras are little coins that are exchanged during the wedding ceremony. These coins are given by the groom to the bride as a symbol that what is mine (monetarily speaking) is now yours. The way and number of coins is not as important as the actual exchange of the coin.
