There was 12 pages of Mandelon stuff. Some links back here, and a lot of foreign language stuff too.

Mexican Wedding Customs

For the first dance, the guests form a heart-shaped ring around the bride and groom. There is also a money dance, where guests pin money on the bride and groomÂ’s clothing in order to dance with them.
The young women of the group may grab the bridegroom to sing a song to him. It is called “El Mandelon” which roughly translates as head of the household. They dress him in an apron, put a baby and a broom in his hands and sing, “Now you can’t leave to walk around alone, mandelon, mandelon.”
LOL :D :D
