Well, I understand, but was furious when my husband decided not to teach my
children Spanish….I said he should speak to them in Spanish, and I would in
English…but he refused…and now both children regret not knowing the gift

was a wide spread practice…particularly in communities that had not set up
accepted rituals. My father-in-law- “robo” my mother-in-law…and their
stories naturally differ…but when I was first exposed to this practice, I
realized that this was not new…indeed the practice of having a best man results
from the European ritual of taking a bride with the assistance of friends…
