enough to show bottom of pan when stirring. Pour into a
greased dish and let cool to room temperature (or chill in
refrigerator for a few minutes). Grease hands with butter and

don´t hold their shape, cook an additional 5 minutes so it

Weddings in Brazil can be colorful and are always joyous. At the time of engagement, the ring is first worn on
the right hand and crossed to the left during the wedding ceremony.

The marriage license is acquired before the wedding day. It is expected that the bride arrive late, sometimes an
hour or so late! Ending the ceremony, witnesses chosen by the bride and groom sign the license making it
official.

A full meal is served to the guests at the reception.
Salgadinhos (little salty pastries) and drinks are served first.
Then the guests receive a plate full of rice, meat and vegetables, followed by sweets and the cake, of course.
The party only ends when the food is completely gone!

One particular custom originated in Portugal. Someone carries one of the bride´s shoes around the reception
while everyone stuffs it with money. Another person walks around with the groom and a pair of scissors. Pieces
of his tie are sold. This money is to help with the honeymoon.


Following are recipes for a few typical wedding or party sweets.
