What are Typical Mexican Engagement Traditions?
The family are involved in the wedding preparations from the proposal all the way through to the exchanging of the vows.
Proposing in Mexico
After the couple are engaged, the bride-to-be’s family organises a meal to officially formalise the proposal. In Mexico the whole engagement affair is known as “La pedida” (which translates in English as “the request”).

Frequently asked Questions
How big should the diamond of an engagement ring be?
There is no unwritten rule about the size of the diamond in an engagement ring. You simply choose the ring that best suits your loved one, from fine and elegant to striking and imposing. Some choose for various small diamonds above a solitary example, because these cost less for the same carat weight. With a halo engagement ring, where a central diamond is encircled by various smaller stones, the diamond is made to look bigger. When the ring really must really stand out, the diamond can weigh up to 5 carats. However, most of the diamonds in engagement rings weigh between 1.00 and 1.09 carats.
How should I give an engagement ring?
Traditions are to be treasured, so why should you deviate from them? No woman is indifferent to a marriage proposal on one knee, especially when it happens at a special place. The place where you first met, an exotic beach, an iconic location in a world city, etc. Supply the necessary romantic accents like candles, torches, flower petals: always make sure the ambience is right. And of course a magnificent diamond engagement ring from BAUNAT! In short, do everything possible to make your proposal an unforgettable event.
What is the romantic history of diamonds?
The diamond is used in many pieces of exquisite jewellery and comes in various sizes. It is, however, in its smallest form that it catches our interest the most: the diamond ring given in token of love and marriage. The actual history of this tradition transcends the perception of its creation as marketing hyperbole. The modern solitaire is just the most recent step on a long road from the past.
Rings date back several millennia, but those that are given as a token of love are first noted by the comic Roman poet Plautus in the 2nd century BCE. In those times, wedding rings were known for their interior inscriptions that recorded the marriage contracts signed in the presence of the Emperor's image. This custom was continued and Christianized by the 4th century, when priests would not permit weddings anymore without the exchange of rings.
