In a traditional mexican wedding, what are the expectations of the wedding party?

I have never felt more stress in my life. My soon-to-be mother-in-law has a completely DIFFERENT view of what a marriage should be. My boyfriend and his family are from Hidalgo Mexico. Nearly every plan I make, she argues with me telling me that it will not work. More specifically, she claims that it is not acceptable to have a best man or any groomsmen be paired with my friends if they are married or have girlfriends. She wants me to change my bridesmaids so they include the wives and girlfriends of my boyfriends wedding party choices. I do not have any special plans or dances made for the wedding party, they will ONLY be walking down the aisle with one another. She also claims that my wedding invitations need to match the color of my dress - my dress is white... I have a themed wedding of yellow and blue. Are there customs and traditions regarding marriage that I am not aware of, or is she just being stubborn and insistant for no reason?

You could tell her that you both have your rules and you can't make sure that the wedding would be perfect for both of you due to the different cultures and traditions, you will try your best to satisfy both of you, but you all have limits, there must be something cannot be avoided, let her to understand you.
Wish you good luck.

There are a lot of beheadings going on in Mexico right now. Unfortunately she was not one of them. Tell her to stop ruining your wedding.

I think it's nontraditional for a married best/grooms man to walk down the aisle with a single maid of honor/bridesmaid or vise versa. But it seems that your not that traditional, so plan your wedding the way you want it. Unless your future husband to be has a problem with it, it shouldn't be an issue with your soon to be mother in law.
