Many Filipino Catholic weddings include the veil, cord and coin (arras) rites during Mass, with sponsors (ninong and ninang) taking part. The reception often features the money dance. In the timeline tool, the cord and coins appear as "Lasso and arras".
What to plan for
- Tell the secondary sponsors which item each person carries: veil, cord or coins.
- Confirm the church's rules and the length of Mass.
- Large families mean big guest lists. Plan buffet lines and seating to match.
