What is the bridal dance?

Answer

The bridal dance is a tradition on the bride's side of the family. Any guest, if they wish to, may "put some money towards the honey"-moon... for a one-on-one dance with the bride. The guest will then receive a piece of cake and/or a shot of alcohol afterwards. All money donations go towards the couple's spending money for the honeymoon. The dance begins with the bride and mother of the bride and ends with the father of the bride. The groom must officially finish the dance by getting through the rings of guests to sweep the bride off of her feet.
