Just bought this for our Cermony (Latinas will appreciate!)
most anyone who is hispanic--should know about this wedding tradition...called the 13 Arras or 13 Monedas. where a 'chest' of some sort is presented from the groom to the bride....with 13 coins in it---representing that he is giving her posession of all his wordly goods & wealth....and the bride's acceptance of these is that she will be the caretaker of his home and posessions. groom pours the coins into bride's hands and rests the chest on top. (as he is giving her his home) is a cute tradition for the ceremony!
this is the pretty silver chest i am buying, with the 13 coins.
the original purpose of 13 is supposed to be jesus & the 12 apostles. but there is a new spin on it--since i'm not reglisous...and now the coins are 'unity' coins and each one represents the 13 things needed for a strong marriage:
Love Committment Respect Joy Happiness Harmony Wisdom Wholeness Nuturing Caring Cooperation Peace
YIPEE!!!!

That is so beautiful! I love the way you made it your own because you are not religious.

I just went to a wedding where the groom gave this to her bride! My mom said my grandma also did this, but she thought it wasn't done anymore. Wait until I tell her
