re: South Louisiana Bros: this money dance needs to retire. It ain't the depression.

I've been to dozens of weddings all over the country and never seen a money dance or heard of anyone I know having a money dance.
I'm not convinced they're real.

Anyone who says it's a cultural tradition better have direct family ties to Poland or the Philippines
Is the history really relevant once it became standard practice for a family? In other words, even if it has trashy origins, if it has happened in most weddings for 50+ years, I think calling it a tradition is acceptable.
FWIW, there are plenty of ways to screw it up and make it a cringe-worth affair, but in my experience they're tasteful and fun.

History is always relevant when it comes to class and etiquette

I sat a chair in front of the bride and gave her a dollar.
True Story. May I die if I'm lying.
Only sober wedding I've ever been to.

I got married in my mid 20s. We had one. I don't feel bad about that.

People can do what they want, but I'm getting married in a few months and there will be no money dance
Same. Getting married in New Orleans in three months. When I went to the venue they asked if we were doing a money dance. I had never heard of that shite. Not happening.

I don't participate and I won't be having one at my wedding.

Are you really trying to refute that it's NOT a traditionally Polish and Filipino tradition?
