Her hair was worn in an up-do finished with a lace edged mantilla. Her bridesmaids wore deep plum gowns with silver belts and carried bouquets of white roses, orchids, and baby\u2019s breath. Joey donned a black tuxedo with white shirt and black tie to marry the love of his life. His groomsmen were dressed the same. The couple chose to be married indoors where the altar was decorated with a gold, glittery AMOR sign. Candles burned around the sign. The ceremony included a Mexican coin ceremony in which the bridegroom presents 13 coins, blessed by the priest or deacon, to the bride as a symbol of his pledge to care for her and the home they will build together. Her acceptance means she will work with her husband to care for all in need. A lasso ceremony was also performed where a rope is placed in a figure eight around the bride and groom\u2019s shoulders &#8211; the infinity symbol &#8211; after the couple has exchanged their vows to symbolize their everlasting union.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Nissle-Photography-260.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Nissle-Photography-260.jpg\" alt=\"Nissle Photography-260\" width=\"332\" height=\"499\" \/><\/a>\n<p>During the reception a Mariachi band played and Mexican cookies were served.
