This chapter covers the period of time from the start of the reading of the banns until the wedding ceremony. During that time, some practices took and take place, such as those observed with the publishing of the banns, along with the preliminaries for the wedding: the stag night/hen party, choosing the ''padrinos ''or wedding sponsors, sending out the invitations, and the offering of and receiving presents.
Both in the past and in the present, wedding gifts are given by the family unit and not by each of the guests that make it up. There is a certain correspondence between the gifts particularly in the case of near relatives: good presents are given to the couple of those families from whom important gifts had in turn been received. The guests that are not unable to attend the wedding also give gifts, although they are not usually as good as when they go to the reception. The amount of presents that the couple receive and their importance has changed notably during this century.
