Are there any cultural customs we should be aware of?

The "Baile de los Billetes," in Spanish, is a traditional wedding custom in Mexico and some other Latin American countries. During this dance, guests pin money onto the bride's and groom's clothing to contribute to their future together and wish them prosperity. Typically, the bride and groom will dance together while guests form a line to take turns dancing with them and pinning money onto their attire. The amount of money pinned onto the couple can vary, and it's often considered a gesture of goodwill and celebration rather than a specific financial contribution. The money collected during the dollar dance is usually used by the newlyweds to help cover the costs of their honeymoon or to start their new life together.
