A specific dance at start of wedding reception that invites the family & friends to dance with bride & groom to give them money (pin cash to their dress/tux).

Think of it as old school gofundme for new life of wedded couples.

Trash or not, will reserve judgment.


Amazing. Never seen this at a wedding ever.

Guessing you are not familiar with S LA.

Poster asked what is different about S LA and Hou, TX just this week.

Nothing. Two peas in pod.

Not!

My son’s wedding was this afternoon. In fact I’m posting this from the parent’s suit at the wedding facility.

There was no money dance. I didn’t even know such a thing existed.

Side note: if you are looking for a great wedding venue, I highly recommend White Oak Falls just outside of Savannah, TN. The place, while a bit remote, is a fantastic place to host a wedding. It’s absolutely beautiful. And the staff is top notch.

Damn, y'all missed out. I know it's the wedding night and all, but we can get them up to speed honeymoon-cash-wise if she's hot. Pics, please.

Oh damn. Your bride was ugly? You didn't miss anything. You would have been spending half your wedding night digging nickels and dimes out of her crack anyway. All good.

Walked away with ~$800 from our reception at the Piedmont Club. In 1989. It helps to have two drunk coonass Sort-of-Uncles trying to Win the reception. And while indeed a trashy south Louisiana tradition, it paid for our move and first few months rent in a Houston apartment a few months later. Otherwise we might have been stuck with jobs in trashy Baton Rouge for the last 35 plus years.

The only other wedding gift I can remember is a rice cooker. I used that bullet proof Hitachi fricker just this week for perfectly cooked jambalaya. And while still kicking arse after north of a thousand servings of rice, its still not worth $800. Close, but not quite.

Right because in North Louisiana daddy/uncles/brothers/cousins slip meth and crack into their bodices during their marital grind dances...

Def a south Louisiana thing. Grew up going to many weddings that had that.

I married a northern girl, NJ girl. Been to lots of wedding in NJ. No money dance there, people show up with a congratulatory card that will have a check in it and drop it into the wedding box.

I let my wife know not to expect this from anyone that came in town on my side for the wedding.

We did a money dance at our wedding. It’s been a long time so I can’t remember how much we got, but someone put it all nicely a bag for us and it felt like a lot to us (being dead broke at the time).

When we got back to the hotel that night, Mrs Cotten took that money bag and emptied it onto the bed and we had sex on top of it.

Trashy? Sure. But who cares, we laugh about it now.
