Both civil and religious wedding ceremonies are available and acceptable for marriage and, as would be expected, there are various forms of ceremony. However, the ceremony begins when the father's wife walks alongside his daughter towards the altar; it is accompanied by “Bride Entry Song”. This is the “give it” moment. Family and friends will witness the climax of the engagement for the couple to become one unit. As the ceremony progresses, the spouses will express an interest in changing their status by requesting a religious blessing. The couple's wish will be heard in the church and quickly, and they will exchange the rings which symbolize the spouses' commitment to marriage. The moment the groom says: "I marry you with this ring, I honor you with my body and I endow you with all my material goods", the ceremony will reach its climax and will be followed by the blessing of the priest. "In Mexican weddings, after exchanging vows, El Lazo, a symbolic rope made of ribbon or adorned with fertility symbols such as orange blossoms, as well as crystals, satin and tiny jewels, is ceremonially placed around the couple's neck to symbolize their new unity."
