Another Super Bowl Halftime show has come and gone! This year’s Bad Bunny performance featured so much- walking sugar cane, an actual wedding, pava hats and Concho the frog. But there was one moment that instantly stuck out to me, and to many El Pasoans I’m sure.
Bad Bunny didn’t just deliver a halftime show, he delivered a core childhood memory. During the Bad Bunny Halftime Show, one quick scene stole the spotlight: a kid asleep across a row of folding chairs at a wedding reception. And if you’re from El Paso? You didn’t just see it, you probably lived it!
El Paso Knows the Folding Chair Wedding Nap
If you grew up in El Paso, chances are you’ve fallen asleep at a wedding, quinceañera, or family party at least once in your life.

Maybe it was at your cousin’s quince. Maybe it was at a backyard wedding with a DJ blasting cumbia past midnight. Maybe it was after three plates of rice, beans, and cake. At some point, the music kept going- and you didn’t!
So, you have to get creative. You grabbed two or three metal folding chairs, lined them up, and passed out under fluorescent lights while the adults danced like it was 1999 (it probably was!)
Bad Bunny’s Halftime Wedding Scene Hit El Paso Hard
The second that sleeping kid flashed across the screen during the halftime wedding scene, social media lit up, and for us El Pasoans, it felt deeply relatable.

This borderland city lives for family celebrations. Weddings aren’t short. Quinceañeras don’t end early. And parties definitely don’t shut down just because the kids are tired…
