All about a Mayan wedding
1. What is a Mayan wedding?
A Mayan wedding is a purely spiritual and symbolic ceremony, which, although it does not require the signing of papers, it offers couples the opportunity to seal their union in front of the rest of the world.
In this way, the couple celebrates their connection with each other in a setting in which the universe and earth participate. Both come together to bless the marriage.
2. How is the ritual for a Mayan wedding?
In this type of ceremonies, several ancestral traditions and customs are carried out, which involve elements of nature. Therefore, something very particular that you will find during this ritual are the offerings.
Here the altar is filled with the most important elements for the Mayas, such as corn, cocoa beans, petals, regional flowers and other things such as copal, which is used to purify the aura of the couple and their guests.
Also, before joining in marriage, the couple needs the permission of the universe to begin the ceremony, so the shaman in charge of the wedding must ask permission from the 4 elements; earth, fire, water, and air. Which of course is done through Mayan prayers.
While all this happens, the ceremony is accompanied by traditional music where sacred instruments are used and, if desired, the exchange of rings or some other object to seal the commitment can also take place. All this with the purpose of celebrating a harmonious bond full of good energy.
3. What is the dress code for the ceremony?
For those who wish to live an authentic Mayan experience, the recommended garment to wear is the traditional one: a white huipil for the bride and a linen suit for the groom. Although this is not a strict rule to follow one hundred percent.
If you have always dreamed of having a stunning wedding dress, you can wear it without any problem. The only thing you should keep in mind is that both of you should wear white and the lighter the clothes the better, since it is a ceremony that takes place without shoes.
On the other hand, among the guests it is recommended to have a similar dress code, with light and pure colors, which represent the rebirth and purification of the soul.
