Save Some Moolah

Did you know?

Family is very important in Venezuela, and the groom is expected to ask the permission of his prospective father-in-law before proposing. A civil ceremony will take place two weeks before the religious service, at which the couple are officially married. A reception follows both events, but the religious wedding ceremony is the bigger celebration.

During a traditional wedding ceremony in Venezuela, the families of the bride and groom will exchange 13 gold coins, to symbolize prosperity and good fortune. The coins are known as arras. These may also be exchanged between the couple themselves.

In Venezuela, it is traditional for newlyweds to sneak away from their own wedding reception without saying good-bye. This is considered to bring good luck to the union.

Cheers,
