already resolved this question :p i was only checking the answers. and ya i know how to RESEARCH. i am not stupid enough to not google info.

1. Sort of true. In the Yucatan it is 3 days – Altars are set up on Oct 31. Nov 1 is Día de los Angelitos, for departed children. Adults are remembered on the second day called Todos los Santos. (Hanal Pixan is the Mayan name for the holiday)
2. True (this is not a Mexican tradition, you may see parties now but not trick or treating around here. Not in the Yucatan)
3. Yes – a literal translation. It is a sweat bread, sometimes stuffed with cream cheese
4. Not sure. That seems to be true around here. In Merida Yucatan they parade from the main cemetery to the church at La Hermita. In the park beside the church there is a stage and bands playing much of the evening. But I would lean towards false because in smaller towns it really is about welcoming back the souls of the departed and not about the party in the square by the church.
5. True – Las Vegas can be translated as ‘the meadows’ amongst other things.
6. True – In Merida – The evening of Sept 15th theGovernor stands on a balcony overlooking the main square and shouts ‘Viva Mexico!’ 3 times.
7. True
8. True
9. True
10. True and everything else. There are always fireworks.

I want to hire a wedding planner but i dont know if it will go good with our mexican traditions.. can anyone tell me what are some american traditions? and how i can incorporate both traditions together??

I am hispanic as well and planning a wedding for January 2012 and i am planning my wedding however i want my wedding to be. Why focus on what traditions as considered "hispanic" or "american"? Do what you want, its your wedding.
