Panamanian Wedding Tradition

It is traditional for a Panamanian groom to give 13 gold coins (which a priest blesses) to his bride before or during the wedding ceremony as a symbol of his intent to provide for her.

As freuently demonstrated by Jeyko on the dancefloor, Panamanians are very festive people. Parties are typically full of salsa dancing or even folk dancing where women traditionally where beautiful long white polleras or other, more colorful, folk costumes.

The national dance is called the tamborito, in which a man and a woman openly flirt with each other as they dance, surrounded by an audience or other dancers. Several couples can take turns dancing in the circle as well while fast-paced music is played with drumbeats. This is a popular dance during Carnival before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Sounds fun, right?
