Question
What Pittsburgh area wedding traditions can we expect?
Answer
1. A cookie table with various homemade cookies to celebrate the bride and groom. This tradition is thought to have originated around the Great Depression given the expense of traditional wedding cake (don't worry we will still have cake). According to various legends, the more cookies, the more luck for the bride and groom as they start their lives together. 2. The bridal dance. Traditionally Polka music is playing while people put cash into a bag to dance with the bride followed by the guest taking a shot of alcohol. Once you have your dance (and shot), join the other guests by circling around the bride waving a napkin. Once everyone has a chance to dance with the bride they circle around her as the groom attempts to break into the circle stealing the bride away.
