Our Californian / Honduran wedding was a fuchsia family laugh-fest

We had a Lasso Ceremony which was new for my family, but common in Latin American Catholic weddings.

A prayer is said about how the lasso represents two parts bound together while sharing equally in the responsibilities of the marriage.
