Goin' To The Chapel

There is one big difference between wedding traditions in the US and in Peru. In the US, it's traditional for the bride's family to pay for the wedding. In Peru, it's the exact opposite: it's traditional for the groom and his family to pay for the wedding. I discovered this difference when I married my Peruvian bride!

One day I was explaining this difference to a Peruvian pastor, and I asked him what he thought about it.

His response: "In Peru, have daughters. In the US, have sons!"
