I am Paola, and I live in Orlando, Florida. My family used to go to a lot of weddings in Puerto Rico when I was young. Before the wedding, the bride and groom would not see each other because it was bad luck. That's similar to what I know about weddings in the United States. In Puerto Rico before entering the reception, the guests received small gifts or keepsakes. The tables at the reception had dolls dressed like the bride as part of the decorations. During the reception, the guests danced merengue with the bride. Then, they all used to dance salsa. Finally, they ate rice with pigeon peas, Puerto Rican-style tamales, and wedding cake that was decorated beautifully.

If Paulo wanted a more traditional Puerto Rican wedding, what would he include?

Dancing
Tamales
Small gifts
Wedding cake
