Padrinos de Velacion
Padrinos de Velación (Godparents for Candles) These godparents participate in the unity candle ceremony by purchasing three candles and lighting the two outside candles to symbolize their sponsorship of the marriage during the mass. It’s a lifelong promise to support and guide the couple on their journey as a newly married couple. It is an honor that commit to checking up on the newlywed couple and offering any words of wisdom they might have to share. <<<<We are family on the father of the bride's side. We are honored for this grand role in our niece and now nephew's wedding (Welcome to the family Paul!!). We cannot wait to meet everyone on their grand day!!>>>>
