A video of a Mexican wedding in Brooklyn. Giazú and Luís Matías are a Mexican couple who, after studying their PhD in Barcelona, moved to New York to teach at the university. They are very good party people who organized a mexican wedding in Brooklyn style, a very strange mix, but it turned out very well!!! 

This is the wedding that best defines a DIY (Do It Yourself) wedding, a low-cost wedding made by the bride and groom and their guests. To be honest, it is one of the coolest weddings we have been to. 

Each guest was part of a group in charge of something: serving the cava for the ceremony, the mimosa bar, setting up the taco buffet, the hotdog buffet... Only the cooks had to be hired! On the one hand they saved money and on the other hand they generated a great feeling among the guests.

It often happens at weddings that groups are formed and your guests don't mix much with each other: the groom's friends, the bride's cousins, those at school, those at uni. Generating any type of activity that forces them to leave their group and meet other guests is always a very good option.

A first look at an industrial estate

Giazu and Luis Matias wanted to do a "first look", an American custom that is becoming more and more common in Spain, where the bride and groom decide to see each other before the ceremony, the two of them alone before saying "I do". It is always a very exciting moment, and we love it, on the one hand, because the bride and groom can say a few words to each other in private and thus start the ceremony a little less nervous...

During the previous months, the bride and groom and their guests created a cool playlist for when their DJ friend got tired of playing. The decoration was done by the bride and groom, although it didn't need much. industrial-style venue that they had rented for the occasion had a lot of vibe on its own.

A ceremony officiated by friends

It was a very emotional wedding, officiated by a former student of Giazu, where the couple read their beautiful vows during the ceremony and made us all cry. The vows also seem to us a very important part, as many brides and grooms don't do it because of embarrassment. We always tell you that you don't have to read them in front of everyone, you can do it in private, during the wedding report or in the first look.

Once the ceremony was over it was all madness, open bar of mimosas, necklaces with mini-glasses to drink the tequila shots, piñatas, and of course mariachis!
