FAQs
Question
What is Dia de Muertos?
Answer
Dia de Muertos, or Day of the Dead as it is known in the United States, may seem like an odd choice of date for a wedding. In reality it is a beautiful celebration of life! In Mexico it is a significant holiday, where it is believed that the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolves. During this brief period, the souls of the dead awaken and return to the living world to feast, drink, dance and play music with their loved ones. Ofrendas, or altars, are built to honor loved ones who have passed on. In short, it is the perfect time of year to truly celebrate with our living loved ones and those who are no longer in this realm.
