There is also a platter of tortillas, and a huge cake that can feed over 1,000 people.
What to wear...
In Spain, you think about what you're going to wear. Outfits for birthdays, weddings, parties, and celebrations are planned weeks before the date. The Clothes are flashy, colorful, bright, and eye-catching! There are also traditional outfits, for example, on the day of her daughter's wedding, the mother will wear the same color of the bride to show she will always be there for her. The father will wear black to symbolize that he is willingly giving his daughter off to an approved husband.
