You are so right!!!!!

But this is what I heard about:
Lazo - Lasso
A lazo (lasso), is a large rosary, a ribbon or a decorated cord that is symbolically draped around the neckss or shoulders of the bride and the groom, groom first. It is placed in a horizontal figure eight (infinity) while they are kneeling at the altar, to affirm their union and their committment to always be together side-by-side. The lazo is associated with a wedding prayer and takes place during the ceremony, after the bride and groom have exchanged their vows. Optionally, the lazo may be tied around their wrists.
The couple wears the lasso throughout the remainder of the service.
At the end of the ceremony, the lasso is removed and is given to the Bride as a keepsake.
Though not a Latin country, a wedding ceremony in New Zealand features the Infinity Loops (Lasso) placed around the necks of the bride and the groom, to symbolize their never-ending love.

Arras - Thirteen gold coins
The groom gives the bride thirteen gold coins blessed by the priest. The 13 coins represent the Christ and his 12 apostles. The Arras is given to the bride as a symbol of the unquestionable trust and confidence the groom has in her.
Most often, he presents them in an ornate box, a silver or gold jewelry box, or on a siver or gold gift tray.
Doing so, he also pledges to be a good provider and to support and care for his bride as she becomes his wife.
By accepting thes arras, the bride pronounces her unconditional trust and confidence in her groom.
These coins become a part of their family heirloom.

Way to promote stereotypes V!

For the ceremony you can do the lazo or exchange of coins. You can also chose to wear a mantilla veil.

For the party you can have traditional music/food. What nationality? If you're mexican you can have a Mariachi Band or if you'r spanish Flamenco dancers.

You can also think of a creative favor or serve Tres Leche cake.

Yup...
We are doing things different too,...
Not kids as of right now...
Most hispanic ppl ASSUME right away since we got 'engaged' we are living together n I AM PREGNANT!!!! I HATE IT!!!

I hate when ppl already Assume I am marrying Luis bc IM PREGNANT!

Not that anything is wrong with that but yea times are changing, sadly.

To be 31 and no kids is rare - for both of us too.
