Dolores dice...Cuban Boda

Dear Dolores,

My son is getting married in May. His fiancée's family is from Cuba, and they both would like a Cuban wedding. Any ideas?

Dear Future Suegra,

You want a Cuban wedding? Easy. Just buy plenty of limes and yerbabuena for the mojitos and 200 pastelitos de guayaba. The bride's family will provide the rest: Mami will insist on a theme, such as Blancanieves y los Siete Enanitos, for the bridal-party wardrobe; Papi will want to dance el danzon "Almendra" with his daughter; Abuelo will carp that if it weren't for Fidel, they'd be having this wedding at the Havana Yacht Club instead of "this dump;" Tía Raquel will remark that the closest Abuelo ever got to the Havana Yacht Club was when he delivered ice there in his rickety camion; Tío Oscar will wail to the tune of "Cuando Salí de Cuba" after his fifth mojito; and Prima Chela's five monster children will wreak havoc on the Morro Castile-shaped wedding cake. Wyoming will never be the same, but in the end, everyone will have a blast and live happily ever after.

—Welcome to la familia, D
