puerto rican wedding ceremony
Everyone forgot the arras, or wedding coins. these consist of 13 silver or gold coins that the groom gives to the bride during the ceremony. 13 symbolizes Christ and the 12 apostles. The arras represents the groom's unquestionable trust and confidence in her, knowing his responsibility as a provider as he pledges to support and care for her. by passing the arras to her he is giving her control as his mistress of all his worldly goods. by her acceptance she pledges to take that trust and confidence unconditionally with total dedication and prudence.
