American and mexican weddings are too similar but in the main cities of each state in Mexico but if we go to rural zones or to villages, people have differents customs. In some villages in the weddings people who give a gift dance with the gift that they gave, the Godfather dance a turkey or a piece of a pig (it depends of the importance of the Godfather). In this kind of events in villages people have huge fields so they only put a biggest tent in their field and they are used to eat mole and rice and in "typical weddings" in the main cities they have another kind of food, more elaborated dishes and with 4 or 5 times of food. Also when guests come to the party, in the entry have some drinks, sweets, etc.
Similarities I see is that the bride wear a white dress and the bridegroom wear a black suit. Also at the end of the mass people through rice to the new husbands. One and unique thing that people do here in Mexico is dance "La vibora de la mar" that is a traditional "ritual" here in Mexico in every wedding or in most of them. Weddings in Mexico are more colorful, funny, etc. We have a lot of different ways to celebrate a wedding depending of the area or the village.
Good!
