In Guatemala, brides often wear the traditional outfit for their wedding – hand-woven folk skirt and folk blouse called “huipil”. Also, they complement it with a cathedral (or just long) wedding veil and white shoes. The veil must be long because it is believed that the longer a veil, the happier a marriage. It is typical for the groom to pay for his bride’s wedding outfit.
The groom’s attire is much simpler – most often, it is an ordinary dress suit, a tux, or something like that.
