Why do hispanic weddings include the carrying of the arras?
The thirteen coins are presented to the bride by the groom to symbolize the groom's commitment to take care of his bride and make his wealth hers. The
passing of coins back and forth is a symbol of sharing worldly goods, for richer or poorer. In Catholic Spain, the number thirteen represents Christ and his twelve apostles. The treasure box in which the coins are kept is
often elaborate and reflects the status of the family.
