Beto and Bianca cut the cake and eat it, then the toast began and the groomsmen and bridesmaids each gave their toast, sharing stories and anecdotes.

Then the party started with an ensemble of Banda music. Music, food, and tequila started to take center stage and the party officially began.

When they heard the music, everyone approached the dance floor. The newlyweds, the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and the rest of the guests began to enjoy the Banda music. Then the band’s singer started handing out tequila straight from the bottle to everyone on the dance floor, which raised the spirits even higher.

The newlyweds made their final entrance with transparent balloons, which were also distributed among the guests. Then, everybody formed a conga line, dancing, and singing.

Of course, the traditional bouquet toss was not to be missed. All the bachelorettes at the wedding were looking forward to grabbing it.

Later, the garter toss began. The bride sat while the groom danced for her, then the groom removed with his teeth the garter from underneath the bride’s gown and tossed it into the bachelors’ crowd.
