In our non-religious wedding, the arras are thirteen coins we exchange to symbolize sharing our worldly goods—but for us, they're borrowed pesos from my abuelo, polished shiny. The lazo is a giant loop of flowers placed over our shoulders, uniting us, though ours was woven from flowers we picked ourselves from the local park. And padrinos? They're chosen sponsors for different parts of the wedding, but we asked our best friends to be padrinos of the party, because their job is just to keep the celebration joyful. Tradition is beautiful, but we make it ours with what we have and who we love.
