"Despideda de Soltera" Traditional
Dinner at The Peninsula |
| >>> |
One
of the loveliest Filipino marriage traditions
is the despedida de soltera, farewell to the
single life. As the Spanish gender clearly
indicates it is a feminine leave-taking: the
send-off dinner for the daughter of the house
by her family close to the wedding date. One
might say it is the ritual show of the family's
consent to the marriage and bestowal of its
blessings, capping all the parties and showers
honoring the bride-elect.
To the despidida de soltera are invited the
family of the groom, close relatives and close
friends of both the bride and the groom. This
is a great occasion for the relatives from
both sides to meet and to know one another,
at least enough not to be total strangers
at the wedding and at the reception. The despedida
may serve as the formal introduction of the
two families or clans to each other. |
