Chilean weddings normally get very interesting at around 1 or 2am, with the handing out of party favors to the guests, including fake ties, funny hats and sparkly things. The wedding reception normally lasts until 5 or 6 in the morning.
Traditionally Chilean’s like a lot of music at their wedding receptions from Latin classic’s to 80’s music, which is very popular at Chilean weddings. When arriving at the reception the bride and groom normally make their big entrance via a side door. A particular song will be playing in the background as they enter the room.
Traditionally in Chile wedding rings are exchanged at the engagement but, the bands are worn on their right hands until they exchange their wedding vows. Then the rings are worn on the traditional left hand, symbolizing man and wife.
