Discover the Magic of Arras Wedding Coins

A Timeless Tradition with Deep Cultural Roots

The Arras Ceremony (Las Arras Matrimoniales) is a cherished wedding ritual celebrated in Spanish, Latin American, and Filipino cultures. It embodies the values of love, unity, and mutual commitment—qualities that resonate deeply with modern couples looking for meaningful ways to mark their union. Our Arras Wedding Unity Coins Kit is designed for couples who appreciate both heritage and elegance, making it the perfect keepsake for your special day.

Who Is This For?

Our product appeals to couples who:

• Value Tradition and Culture: Whether you come from a Hispanic background or simply admire rich cultural customs, the Arras ceremony offers a unique way to honor your heritage.
• Seek Meaningful Symbols: In today’s weddings, every detail counts. Couples who want their ceremony to reflect a deep emotional promise will love the symbolism of the Arras coins.
• Embrace Modern Equality: While rooted in tradition, the modern Arras ritual has evolved to emphasize the couple’s equal partnership—making it a perfect choice for today’s progressive relationships.

What Is the Arras Ceremony?

In the Arras Ceremony, the groom presents the bride with 13 coins that have been blessed by a priest or officiant. This heartfelt ritual symbolizes a shared promise:

• The Groom’s Vow: A promise to provide for the family and to share all that he possesses.
• The Bride’s Trust: An acceptance of this gift as a symbol of mutual support, care, and responsibility.

More than a mere formality, the Arras ceremony is a moment of profound cultural significance—a ritual that intertwines tradition with modern-day values of equality and partnership.

The Profound Meaning Behind the 13 Coins

Each of the 13 coins carries a rich, multilayered symbolism:

• 12 Coins for the 12 Months:
  Each coin represents one month of the year, symbolizing ongoing prosperity, stability, and a well-planned future together. This aspect reassures couples of financial balance and harmony throughout every season of their lives.

• 1 Coin for Generosity and Abundance:
  The extra coin is dedicated to charity—a reminder that true wealth is not just measured in what we possess, but in what we share. It encourages couples to extend their blessings to others, fostering a spirit of generosity.

• Spiritual Connection:
  In some traditions, the 13 coins also represent Jesus and his 12 apostles, infusing the ritual with a spiritual dimension. This connection serves as a testament to faith, guiding the couple to put values and compassion at the heart of their union.

• Emblem of Trust and Unity:
  Beyond financial symbolism, the coins are a tangible emblem of trust. They represent the commitment each partner makes—not just to share wealth, but to stand by one another through every challenge and celebration.
