Wedding traditions of Bogota

Colombian weddings in Bogota mix a Catholic Mass, a long party and the Colombian arepa.

Colombia legalised same-sex marriage in 2016 by a Constitutional Court ruling, as of 2026. Bogota has many churches, including the Cathedral Primada, and a famous salt cathedral nearby.
