Filipino Wedding Traditions

The elders believe that going through the whole ceremony will bless the couple with a long lasting marriage. Taking part of the union of both bride and groom are the sponsors. The sponsors are there to serve as support and guidance to the couple.

There are also items that are commonly seen in a traditional Filipino Wedding. Some of which are the coins that symbolize prosperity, cord to bind the couple, and the veil. All of which serve as good luck charms to the newlyweds. Filipino weddings are also known to finish longer than the typical straight to the “I do” part of the Western culture. This makes it a more memorable for the couple and to everyone who attended the ceremony.
