Stole from 06-What ethnic traditions are you incorporating into your ceremony and or reception??

I'm not sure about this one. My mom's Irish/English/German/French total mutt and was mostly raised with German traditions but not really. My dad's 100% Italian-- like off the boat. So I've been raised Italian, Italian is my first language, I have dual citizenship etc. However, biologically I'm more Irish than anything else. See, I'm adopted and so my birth parents are both 100% Irish. (For the record when I talk about my parents, these are the ones who've raised me my whole life, not the ones I'm genetically linked to).
My fiance is half Italian half Colombian, but was raised with more of the traditions of his Colombian side. He doesn't think we should incorporate any traditions during the reception (ie- the tarrantella) since it's like how do we try not offend-- have a tradition from all of our heritages? I don't know, probably looking into it too much.
However, we will be having bomboniere (Italian favors for the give away) as wll as a boxed grooms cake. This is only because my mom said she and my dad had this at their wedding and that she would pay for it at mine. So that was an easy decision to make!
So other than that and just some spanish music to dance to because I love to shake my booty, that's about it.

I am Greek, but since I am Catholic, we will not be having the traditional Greek Wedding Ceromony. But I will definitely be incorporating some of my heritage into the reception:

We will be doing the traditional Greek Wedding dance and other Greek dances and I think the Traditional Greek toast. Hopefully no one will break any plates because that would be !!! Not sure what else yet.

For FH, the traditional Italian dance (don't remember the name) and of course a lot of drinking for his Irish side!
