The Big fat wedding was attended by about 180 guests who arrived at the wedding on black Mercedes-Benz buses. A white sign with gold letters read, "Welcome to Our Wedding Unplugged", welcomed the guests, who excelled in strict etiquette.

The mother of the bride, Mercedes Pastrana looked pretty clad in a purple dress. Although, the groom arrived at the church at about 4:00 pm,  the bride arrived half an hour later in a gray Bentley luxury car.

The wedding ceremony lasted about an hour and a half. After exchanging vows, the couple decided to greet the public and pose for the shutterbugs. They both smiled, shared eloquent glances and then planted a kiss on each other’s lips, which was their first official kiss as husband and wife.
