Valencia, Spain – May 30, 2025 – Emiliana Artagaveytia Ascheri, a Uruguayan immigrant living in Valencia, Spain, recently shared a surprising cultural difference she's encountered: the custom of 'cuvierto' at Spanish weddings. Unlike in Uruguay, where the couple traditionally covers all wedding expenses, Spanish weddings often involve guests contributing financially towards the cost of their meals. This contribution, known as 'cuvierto,' typically ranges between €100 and €200 per guest. As Emiliana explains in her recent TikTok video, "In Uruguay, it's the couple who pays for everything. Here, it's shared between the guests and the couple." This practice extends beyond the wedding dinner; close friends and family may also contribute to the bachelorette party, known as 'despedida de soltera.' Emiliana's video highlights the interesting contrast between these cultural norms, sparking discussion about social expectations and financial responsibility surrounding weddings in different countries. The video's popularity shows a clear interest in this cultural comparison, suggesting a broader audience would appreciate learning more about these unique traditions.
