Andean Wedding Ceremony a Unique Ceremony Amid Nature

The stunning Andean region of Peru still upholds and practices its ancient tradition. And one of them being their way of marrying. The tradition of the couple’s unification in the presence of Pachamama, the revered Goddess Mother Earth, is a kind of celebration that has remained within the folds of the local people. They are spiritual unions of two people who are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together. It is believed that the marriage of these two people cannot be broken by any human, since it is conducted under the blessings of the Pachamama.

So what makes it different? These two people create a connection with nature, rituals that have been passed down through ages and generations. The Shaman performs the wedding ritual, by invoking all the Pachamama energies and one that has spiritual value. In the Andean wedding ceremony- the Pachamama, representing the feminine side, and the Apus, representing the masculine side, are the two essential components. A mystical atmosphere is created during the ceremony through Andean music that makes one feel merged with nature. The environment is such that all the energies of all the natural elements- earth, water, fire, and air are merged in the ceremony. The couple is not only conjoined with each other but also infusing all the natural elements of Andes in the ceremony.

The bride and the groom have to bring for each other the following items as a symbol of their union:

• The groom has to bring lliclla, a shawl for draping around his wife. It is the symbol that the husband will always be with his wife as his protection
• The bride brings one pair of sandals for her husband. It is the symbol of strength, that the wife will always go wherever the husband goes and will be the support of their family.

After the Andean wedding ceremony, to strengthen the union a special toast of Andean beverage, known as T’Inkay is offered to the sacred mountain. It is done to seek the protection of the mountain towards the union from then on.
