gifts of great monetary value to help them with the beginning of their marital

of various prices that will be included in the gift list. But would you imagine

that more than one couple a year is blessed with gifts that surpass the

What is it about?
Godfather's time
One of the most generous guests is usually the godfather. He is also the most
honored by the couple. This part that marks the beginning of the celebration in
the living room decorated with the decoration of a place for marriage is known
as "fulfillment": appreciation of the bride and groom to the person who accepts
this important position. The sponsor receives exquisite food and drinks, such as:
baked pig, chickens, guinea pigs or kids.
Row of generosity
The dance begins immediately after the performance and the sponsors are the
first to advance to the rhythm of the best music of the place to give their gifts to
the newlyweds. What are usually very generous! With saying that a short time
ago, we learned that a godfather gave the couple of godchildren about S /
30,000 soles and another expensive present, and apologized because their
economic situation was not at its best. So with this we can already get an idea of
such generosity. After them, relatives and friends are still in line. And each one
of them will come dancing and carrying their gift, if the weight allows them.
