I am Paola, and I live in Orlando, Florida. My family used to go to a lot of weddings in Puerto Rico when I was young. Before th
e wedding, the bride and groom would not see each other because it was bad luck. That’s similar to what I know about weddings in the United States. In Puerto Rico before entering the reception, the guests received small gifts or keepsakes. The tables at the reception had dolls dressed like the bride as part of the decorations. During the reception, the guests danced traditional Puerto Rican dances. Finally, they ate rice with pigeon peas, Puerto Rican-style tamales, and wedding cake that was beautifully decorated. Based on the text, if Paola wanted a more traditional Puerto Rican wedding, what would she include?
Fish or seafood
Large presents
Merengue or salsa
Pastries and cake
