This is something that I guess is very popular in weddings down south- my FH family keeps asking if we are going to do it- one of his GM said his wife got 1000 in cash doing it at their wedding- but to me, it seems a little tacky?
Did anyone do this at their wedding- where people give you money to dance with you?

My DH is greek orthodox and every wedding we've gone to on his side of the family has done this. But I am told it's a greek tradition -or something to that extent. No one is shoving dollar bills down your dress-they throw it at you. I guess its Good Luck.
I'm not Greek and I always loved watching this at my Greek friends weddings. My friends just recently told me that all of this money goes to the band! Not the couple I would throw bills like crazy thinking it would go to the couple. I didn't think it was cheesy until I heard that the money went to the band. All the money SHOULD go to the couple always at these dollar dances for the honeymoon or something.
This one is a little different. The one the greeks do is throw money in the air while the bride/groom or someone is dancing the zembekiko. The money goes to the band. It's more of a tip for the great singing and instrument playing. It's always been like this in Greek weddings.
