    1.) I don't understand how this is a blend of both cultures because all I saw represented from the Philippines was the male traditional clothing.
    2.) This was very much a "lawyer" type of wending (I can't explain it but if you get it, you get it).
    3.) The venue is absolutely beautiful and I wish them nothing but the love and happiness.

    • @durianqueen
      @durianqueen 6 років тому +11

      I agree. The title is misleading as the wedding influences seem more skewed towards Mexican traditions. Not an offense, but an observation. I was thinking the same thing about the barong being the only representation of Filipino culture, aside from the Filipinos at the wedding.

    • @darylburke8741
      @darylburke8741 6 років тому +5

      the complexion, the infinity sign is also used in mexican weddings so the wedding is still very much the brides traditions with a few of the grooms

    • @darylburke8741
      @darylburke8741 6 років тому

      LagiNaLangAko23, the infinity symbol was first recorded in history by being used by Early Greeks 'the earliest attestable accounts of mathematical infinity come from Zeno of Elea (born c. 490 BCE), a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher of southern Italy'. It was then used by the Early Indians in 'The Jain mathematical text Surya Prajnapti (c. 4th-3rd century BCE) classifies all numbers into three sets: enumerable, innumerable, and infinite'.
      After that 'European mathematicians started using infinite numbers and expressions in a systematic fashion in the 17th century'.
      So the symbol itself has been used by many cultures thought the ages, but the lasso used in this video comes from Christian Catholic wedding ceremonies. It is a representation of a loop of rosary beads which is looped around the bride and groom forming the shape of the number 8. 'This cord symbolizes lifetime unity or the everlasting union of the bride and groom when they officially become husband and wife, as well as a symbol of marital protection; while the loops formed signifies their love for one another. After the wedding, this marital twine is typically kept by the bride as a wedding souvenir. Use of the traditional wedding cord for weddings is common in Hispanic countries such as Mexico, the Philippines, and Spain.'
      So the tradition comes from Spain and both Mexico and the Philippines are former colonies of Spain so they both practise this tradition. What I was saying is that that part of the infinity sigh while it is part of Filipino culture it is also Mexican so in itself it represents both of them and not just the groom. The wedding itself is still very much a Mexican inspired wedding (inspired because like the original commenter said its quite a 'lawyer' wedding) Most of the traditions were either Mexican or from both cultures. Since the video was marketed as a combination of two cultures it would have been nice to see more of the Pilipino side.

    • @darylburke8741
      @darylburke8741 6 років тому

      LagiNaLangAko23, Yes the Spanish do. I couldn't find anything on indians using it. I know they use a Mangalsutra which the groom ties around the brides neck but I could't find anything of a loop on both necks... But I did find something called a varmala after looking into Hindu weddings. Its a cord tied around both bride and groom made of large rose flowers but I don't think its tied in a infinity loop if you look up on google varmala pictures it seems more like a circle enclosing them. Its possible though they also use an infinity cord but have another name for it so I can't find it.

      Well there are some Mexican traditions they did that are equivalent to some Filipino traditions in different islands but sadly was not credited nor said in it's Filipino terminology. I can attest to that because the Mojigangas are called Harigangas in my region while the El Lazo is also seen in some Filipino weddings.

    • @25angeli
      @25angeli 6 років тому +7

      Christine Eliana Atoy you made some good points, but in my own perspective, it’s not right to project an example of two traditions (especially when the title says it itself) combining a meaningful celebratory when in reality they’ve favored more towards one side. It’s not a hate towards any side, it’s just a disappointment on my part when all I don’t recognize (as much) any significances from my culture.

    In my opinion as a mexican myself, I don't see how this is a fusion of both filipino and mexican traditions. I see many comments from filipino ppl saying how there was no actual filipino representation in this and as a mexican this wasn't very accurate to even a real traditional catholic mexican wedding either. As I see it, it is more of a white or americanized version of what a filipino/mexican "traditional" wedding would look like

    This is a really cool combination of cultures but it’s kind of weird to have it in the title as a Catholic wedding when they didn’t even do any of the religious ceremonies or traditions that are very meaningful to practicing Catholics. They are of catholic origin but don’t seem observant so it’s not really advertised the right way. It was beautiful and a great couple though

The only place you’ll see an extraordinary amount of Spanish culture is Northern Mexico next to the big cities like Mexico City and even north than that because it is next to the Border that separates the States and Mexico. I’m not going to judge Filipino culture and say they’re all Spanish and Japanese just because that’s all I know about the country.

    This is an Americanized Mexican version of a wedding she’s I believe ( an interpretation im seeing I may be wrong) a third generation Mexican.

As a first generation Mexican woman who’s first language is Spanish and was raised always going to Mexico and learning the culture and living in a rancho and a pueblo there is nothing Mexican about this wedding besides the colors, mariachi, tequila. There’s so much more to show and if you’re going to make a video on a wedding please show a first gen so you can see a deeper meaning of what a Mexican wedding is

      Well, aside from the traditional Filipino barong,
      1. Mojigangas - we have a similar festival in the Philippines (Gigantes Festival)
      2. El Laso - in Filipino weddings we use a cord and veil
      3. Las Arras - (Arrhae) same ritual with the coins
      I mean the video pretty much states that these practices stem from the Catholic faith and can’t categorize these as plainly Filipino or plainly Mexican

      same thing, i mean, it should have been inside a church. i dunno if is? not sure if its required too but all i know is in filipino tradition plus catholicism, it shold be in front of God. So.. but the wedding is awesome.

    The title and description very misleading. Click-Bait!. This was NOT Catholic Mexican Filipino Wedding. It's not even in a Church and in a Mass. So technically, their marriage is not recognized and blessed by the Catholic Church. The most SAD part is they talked about being Catholic, and so as the Culture for both Mexican and Filipino.
    BUT, I can totally understand why they did it their way. I'm Filipino and married to a Chicana (Mexican Woman, born and raised from California) for 21 years now, We are both Catholic, and are now both devout Catholic. Our kids are raised devout Catholics and both of our cultures and traditions are present at home and in their up bringing. Both of us, have been to each other's countries. Funny that they talked about the clothes but for the wedding, it was abandoned, its all Americanized Also, their perception on marriage was so construed instead of coming to Sacrament of Matrimony. Obviously, both of them are not formed Catholics. Just Culturally Catholics. This is really a secular wedding, so not sure where the whole culture and religion this video is talking about. This is more of a viewpoint to challenge the perception of traditional marriage. They had prioritize their support to Same Sex Marriage, than the teaching of the Church on Marriage.
    I agree with the comment besides showing the Barong and the guy, where is the Pinoy Culture here? In any case, God Bless them both and their family! May God's peace be with them. Praying for them that they find in their hearts and mind, to one day get their marriage blessed or convalidated in the Catholic Church.

    I know I'm late, but I think it's important to mention the 200 year connection that Mexico had with the Philippines when the Galleon trade was connecting Asia with the rest of the world (Acapulco-Manila Galleon or Nao de China). This explains the barong and guayabera similarity (the former influenced the latter and the mandarin collar versions in Yucatán are legit called camisa filipina). Additionally, 1/3 of Guerreros population has 10% Filipino ancestry. Mexico got coconuts, mangoes, and tamarind from the Philippines as well so this connection cannot be denied.

    Beautiful ceremony. With Filipino weddings, there are three other parts of the event at church. Those are "The Veil," on which a thule cloth is placed on the shoulder of the groom and on top of the bride's actual veil. After that comes "The Cord" which will be placed on top of the veil. Both symbolizes unity. Then comes "The Arras," which in most cases are old coins that are welded into a crown or are in small cages (gold plated) to symbolize prosperity. I just can't remember if "The Unity Candle" is lighted by the couple before or after the actual wedding mass. The BARONG TAGALOG was called "The Poor Man's Tuxedo" until that time when Ramon Magsaysay decided to wear it to his Inauguration as President of the Philippines. What a wonderful blend of cultures. Congratulations and Best Wishes!

    RESPONSE ON BEHALF OF TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS ONLY:
    We have both Mexicans and Filipinos rightfully complaining about the lack of Filipino background and the a watered down Mexican wedding in this video. But we do not have enough traditional Catholics responding to their catholic traditions claim, so to let me do the honor. As a devout Catholic, in response to the couple, you both claim to care about your catholic faith or “religion” as you call it but obviously lack knowledge of what it truly means to be a catholic. Like people are saying, there isn’t really anything truly Mexican, Filipino, or catholic about this. The Catholic Church isn’t against interracial marriages as this guy assumes but they are against same sex marriage for a reason, based on what Jesus himself taught about marriage, and because it goes against God’a natural law (will). Since you two chose not to get married within the Church, and if you truly care about the faith, you would know that your marriage is still considered invalid and therefore are living in the constant state of mortal sin if you are cohabiting and having relations.
    FYI:
    This marriage could have totally been truly catholic, Mexican, and Filipino. I’m Mexican and my girlfriend is Filipino. We are both truly catholic and already know that this ain’t it. Praying for this couple!
