Everyone complaining there's not much Filipino representation: the guy basically let the bride do what she wants and that's the Filipino way 😂😂

1.) I don't understand how this is a blend of both cultures because all I saw represented from the Philippines was the male traditional clothing.
2.) This was very much a "lawyer" type of wending (I can't explain it but if you get it, you get it).
3.) The venue is absolutely beautiful and I wish them nothing but the love and happiness.

Y’all, I’m Mexican but NONE of these traditions mentioned I’d ever heard of 🤔🤔🤔

This is a really cool combination of cultures but it’s kind of weird to have it in the title as a Catholic wedding when they didn’t even do any of the religious ceremonies or traditions that are very meaningful to practicing Catholics. They are of catholic origin but don’t seem observant so it’s not really advertised the right way. It was beautiful and a great couple though

[blancamorales]

Mexican wedding tortillas is NOT a thing all Mexicans do... actually it’s a first for me hearing about them and my family is also from Guanajuato.... so yeah idk where they got this tradition from.

Is the Filipino part just the dude wearing a barong -_-and the dude himself?

[DaniSaldo]

apart from the barong, this isn't really related to Filipino culture at all? i respect their decision, and wish them well i just wish that the video was titled better or presented better?

[cecb]

i am mexican and i didnt know about the tortilla stuff lol

[lysaace]

As a Filipina/Mexican gal, I adore this video! Thank you so so much for putting this content out.

The only Filipino thing about it was the barong tagalog worn by Keith. Other than that it's mostly Mexican. It's not entirely fusion of cultures.

[emilyluisa]

I’d say a more accurate title would be Mexican and Filipino THEMED wedding.

[andreatorres]

I’m Mexican and this really isn’t our culture in weddings

[montseveraud]

I love this but im mexican and not all weddings have the tortillas🤔 it depends in the part of the country and culture, the other things were spott on

[lyriclanguages]

These two are more American than anything lmao

[ninaerikaeberle]

"Their filipino and mexican traditions come from opposite sides of the world" - what? :D somebody forget for a second that the world is round, i guess? :D

[patrisha]

Apart from the groom and the barest mention of the barong Tagalog, how else was Filipino culture represented in this?

[JumalatarTalvella]

Repeat after me: CA - LLE - JO - NEA - DA
Gurrrll you butchered that word!

[soroa]

Mexican and Filipino wedding? It was more Mexican tbh and I can see the main reason as to why...the wedding was set in Mexico therefore there will be more Mexican culture. I do feel that they should have balanced the cultures but as long as they are happy then it's cool.

[mar]

Where was the Filipino culture in any of this.. lol
