A drunk bum walked in the church off the street and sat about 3 rows behind the grooms parents. He started hollering and raising hell, all groomens men left the alter and kindly escorted the drunk out of church.

I went to a wedding reception once where everyone at the reception was watching the LSU game on a projection screen. No shite. The reception started after it was obvious LSU won and everyone ate. That was about 6 years ago.
I see nothing ridiculous about this. In fact, it's ridiculous that they had their wedding on an LSU game.

Went to a wedding reception at the Yambilee Building in Opelousas. It is a fairly large building. There was a large Budweiser truck with the taps built into the side that was parked in the building. A guy was serving beer from the taps. There were also folding tables around the truck with about 10 fifths of Jim Beam and 2 liter Coke bottles at one corner. You just served yourself.
There was also a cage of pigeons inside the building and of course some drunk let the birds loose.

I've seen some, but it's been a while. A LOT of "traditions" are fading. Nobody from New Orleans that I've seen marry did it.
I think: bouquet toss, garter toss, cake cutting where everyone watches, toasts, engagement photo sessions, money dance, specified mother-son/father-daughter dances, line dances, etc. are all extremely unnecessary and I plan to do none of the above.

I've never been to wedding that had a money dance or that didn't have an open bar.

My SIL's dad didn't want alcohol at wedding. my FIL said no fricking way. So they agreed that alcohol would be hidden around corner in reception area. Had to walk down a hallway and had dark cups so you couldn't tell what people were drinking. They pretended the sin away.
Edit - got married at Nottoway Plantation and a money dance there was not.

I can understand nixing the money dance and line dances (which are more of a rural South Louisiana thing, but I don't understand skipping the first 3 things and the mother/son and father/daughter dances. Remember, those traditions are the only parts of your wedding that aren't about you. The garter is for the groomsmen, the bouquet is for your single female friends and family in attendance, and the two dances are for the parents of the couple. There's no reason to be selfish.
Oh and nb4 if you don't want me to, don't tease me...

My brother's wedding was dry, but the rehearsal dinner wasn't. There was also no band or DJ. The bride had a lot of issues with alcoholism (not the fun South Louisiana kind) in her family and my brother doesn't drink or dance so both of those were nixed. There were also no hot bridesmaids and my date and I were sick the whole time. The wedding was even in a dry county. That wedding really blew.

well glass, we are obviously from different circles, yet I still find that incredibly hard to believe

Believe what you want.

dry wedding was the worst. Second worst was a wedding that only had beer and wine and the beer was flat.

I don't want a money dance but damn no cake cutting? That seems like something you don't just toss aside.

You can still dance with your parent without having it announced and making everyone stand around watching. My father would hate that anyway

I will be the last of my friends to get married. And provided I end up with ole Jonesie, all his friends will be beyond married and 2-3 kids deep. It's uncomfortable, wastes time, and most people don't actually like it.. at least not a lot of people I know.
I will privately present my bouquet to my grandmother who recently lost my grandfather. I don't see how that's selfish at all

The money dance is a poor/middle class rural thing. If the wedding is in Ascension Parish, Livingston, the river parishes, or Acadiana, it's probably going to have a money dance.
However, many upper middle class and wealthy people in that area (especially those that moved there from elsewhere) don't participate in the tradition. New Orleans has no money dance tradition that I'm aware of and I've never been to any Lafayette weddings that had a money dance.

Some waiter can cut it. We both hate cake, nobody wants to stand around watching, and I don't want to cut it
If anything, I think nixing those things makes it more fun. I won't have to say "my wedding reception was a blur because we kept getting pulled away from guests to do X thing" like everyone else says. Most everyone has told me if they could go back and do it over, they'd nix a lot of the things that waste time, force guests to pay attention to something they don't care about, and overall pause the party.
I'd rather walk in, the band start playing, and we have a blast with guests without other interruptions.
