Recuerdo Matrimonial Design 2
Front view of Church, usually with couple
I believe that the church depicted is the old
Basilica of Guadalupe. I had assumed that the couple is shown leaving the
church after the ceremony, but I have discovered that weddings were traditionally
performed at the church door, so these tokens probably depict the wedding ceremony.
