Wedding traditions of Buenos Aires

Argentine weddings include a civil ceremony at the registry and a long party of tango, asado and the carnaval de cotillon.

Argentina recognised same-sex marriage in 2010, the first in Latin America. Civil marriage at the Registro Civil is the only legal marriage; a church ceremony is added by many.

The party, called a fiesta, begins late and runs until the early morning. The carnaval is a time when guests receive hats and noisemakers from a table of cotillon.

Customs

Wedding cake topped with figures is common. A tradition has the bride's shoe or garter auctioned, and a dance of tango is performed.
