So you play a little of each. Play your family songs in English, play his in Spanish and then let the DJ have fun with everything else.

I'm a Hispanic woman and my husband is an all American man. When we got married 3yrs ago we had the DJ play both English and Spanish music all night. Let me tell you my husbands family had so much fun trying to dance to the Spanish music. Now you and your fiance just need to decided what type of Spanish (bachata,salsa,meringue) you would like and just let it go from there. Congratulations and good luck. Remember ENJOY your wedding day to the fullest because it goes fast.

This is not a problem. You play both English and Spanish language music. Plus here is the good thing, you and your fiance get to pick the music, not your families. Our families wanted us to play nothing but easy listening music, no way that was happening. Talk to the DJ before hand and tell him or her that you have the final say and if anyone has a problem with that to come and talk to you.

Blend it. Have sets in Spanish and sets in English. Be sure to include some "crossover" music: Spanish-language music that English speakers know (like "La Bamba" or "Mexican Hat Dance" or "Eres Tu" or music by Santana), and English-language music that Spanish speakers like (your fiance would know better than I).
You can also include some sets of Anglo music done by Hispanics, and Hispanic music done by Anglos. I'll include below a couple of links to Beatles songs sung by Hispanic artists.
Katherine R: the word is Quinceanera, or Quincenera (with the curved line over the n).

I agree with everyone who is saying compromise, some spanish and some english. For songs that you use during the ceremony, you can print a program (I would especially in your case) with translations in both spanish and english. Weddings are about the blending together of 2 different families, and in your case, 2 different cultures, so celebrate the differences!

Compromise. Alternate songs between English and Spanish. Compromise is good practice for marriage.

I think that you should compromise and play both Spanish and English music. You don't want to insult your family nor do you want to insult your in laws so just play both.

Compromise and have some of both. Music is loved by all no matter what, it sets the mood for happiness and fun. Eapecially at weddings where you pick what you want played yourself...

You combine them! Teach his family the Funky Chiken and teach yours the Macarena! Culters can blend very easily if both party's are willing to accept the differences! I was once the only white girl at a Kinseneta (kin-sen-ye-ta) and I loved it! It was very different and beautiful and opened my eyes to something new!

Good music is good in any language...Mexican music usually sucks but there is some good Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican music. Just make sure it has good rythum and drum beat and everyone will probably be happy.
