In Peruvian wedding traditions the suitor asks for her beloved's hand for marriage from her parents. After the approval of the parents the wedding ceremony takes place following the traditional wedding customs.
A Peruvian custom is to include wedding charms between the layers of the wedding cake, attached with ribbons. Before the cake is cut and served to the guests, each single woman pulls a string. It is believed that the one who pulls the ribbon with the 'ring' on the end is the next one to marry within a year.
An old person starts reading and reminds the couples about their marriage responsibilities. The couples exchange their marriage vows and the elders bless them immediately after the wedding.
