OMG..he's amazing even my FH was saying he would do him just b/c he's sooo smooth.. We will definitely see him again.. 12th night I'm hoping turns out great but I'm honestly not worried. I'm going to miami next week so we'll do the eg pics the day after w/the banging tan!

I love baladas but we don't want to slow the tempo of the reception from a slamming spanish party.. So I think baladas and boleros during cocktail hour is enough for my guests..and gramdma!!

Of course not, we played most of the baladas while people ate, and then 2 for DH and I to dance real close and everyone followed. The one with abuelito was actually the song he danced with my grandmother on their wedding, we danced it to honor her name.

BTW I love the colors on your avatar..

Im Puerto Rican and DH is Puerto Rican/Cuban/Irish. I incorporated a ton of spanish food during our cocktail hour. We had paella, empanadas, maduros, pernil, tostones...I think thats it but it was all soooo good. I also made sure to have a ton of salsa music played.

Hi ladies..!! I think this idea of posting a chat for OUR desires is great. It's definitely hard to find a place to chat about that incorporates our cultures and traditions w/the etiquettes of this part of the world we call home... So welcome all !!!

My name is Denise and both my FH and I are 2nd genration Dominican.. I just want a classy affair that will leave ppl talking about our affairs for yrs to come. I will definitely have a spanish station at the cocktail hr that comes w/ Coronas & Presidentes on the side of it. The cocktail hr will also have lots of baladas playing in the background..especially Luis Miguel (whom I just saw at the concert on /fri)..back to the wedding.. FH's cousin is singing our first dance which is one of these 2.. 'Creo en el amor' de Rey Ruiz or ' Una amor para la historia' by Gilberto Santarosa.. I can't make up my mind.. Help!!

Good Morning Denise. I'm Angie and I personally love 'Una amor para la Historia' and I also wanted to incorporate that song into my wedding. I think you should use that song for sure. It's so funny that you mentioned it b/c for the past 3 years every time I hear it I say I need to use this song.

I also wanted to do the same color scheme, but I have yet to decide. I do know that whatever color I do use I def want fushia/pink flowers. I might actually use the fushia/pink as an accent color and make my main color latte/taupe/champagne.

Love your possible color choices.. very pretty! How was your weekend?

I was wondering... are you Inc anything from Kirks side ( jamaican ) into the wedding? Food etc.. or just music.. lol! I ask because I was feeling bad this weekend doing so much from the Spanish Culture and having my family there ( jamaicans ) or am I overthinking it... Should I set up a empanada station and a curry station.. lmao! You know what I mean..

Quia, so glad you're getting lots of ideas from this thread. I think you're amazing for taking the time to learn about fh's heritage. A testament to your love for him- awww

I would definitely advise working Corazoncito into the wedding....but as you mentioned, have a song open first. Only because the lyrics of the song talk about a lost love that he's mourning. If you open with something more traditional and then have the DJ mix into Corazoncito- that would be awesome. I would have to start cheering if I saw that.

I would say that would be great or have paella and if your hall offers jerk chicken then go for it. My RH offers jerk chicken as a main course i was thinking of having it as one of the main courses
