The wedding ceremony is often followed up with a huge celebration that includes dinner, drinks (including the necessary pisco sour and local wines), and dancing. This often begins late and ends at 5:00-6:00 am the next day, sometimes with breakfast.
After getting married these young couples (most Chileans marry in their early- to mid-20s) start families rather quickly and often move into their own house (prior to marriage most young people live with their parents). Divorce is not allowed in Chile (although an annulment can be made) so couples almost always remain together for life with their growing families, which tends to end with two children, although some couples only have one and others have more kids.
Generally, men are expected to financially support the family in Chile as women more often take on the role of caregiver to the children, while also running the house. This position women take in the home is one of truly caring for the family and many families would struggle to adjust without this role, which is viewed with great respect. However, today many women are going to work, especially in Santiago.
