Don't really have any family traditions but sicne FGH is Jewish we'll be doing the Hora (hope I spelled that right)
I have the funniest story about the Hora -- or I think its the Hora... is that the dance when everyone goes around in a circle? Well if so, I was playing our Code Bleu DVD for my dad, so he could help us decide... and the last song is an ethnic mix -- they play Irish songs and Jewish songs... well my parent's dog starts walking around in a circle, trying to catch his tail! I couldn't stop laughing... I think he's trying to tell us that he is of Jewish decent.

We aren't really doing anything other than the normal everyday wedding traditions. Although my filipino side and even my priest asked me if we were doing any of the filipino wedding traditions like my parents did but we're opted not to.

The only family tradition that I am taking over is making homemade raviolis with meat stuffing for easter. My mom used to make them but since she passed away, I would like to continue the tradition.

My something blue is going to be the sole of my shoes - I can't wait! Other than those traditions and my dad walking me down the aisle that's it.
My mom gave FH her engagement stone to make my ring so that'll be my families new wedding tradition
