to have or not to have cultural stuff at wedding...

I know I just was talking about vegas and getting hitched somewhere besides here, but I was wondering if any of you guys were planning on having something at your ceremony or reception pertaining to your culture

Im 100% irish Born there and everything, so I would like to have bagpipers (maybe drummers if I can splurge the extra cash) and of course Irish music. Maybe some celtic looking favors...

What are you guys doing? Any traditional dances? songs? rituals?

Since I will be having some of FH's family from Canada I will try to play a popular song from there. However, they mostly like music from here anyway.
I will have to print invitations in French because most of his family doesn't speak English.

I'm Italian and FH is Puerto Rican we are going to incorporate food and music from the 2 cultures. I'm so excited our DJ is amazing and covers all types of music and we are having a guy on drums, and that is going to be hot with spanish music playing.

the only kind of religious/cultural thing we're doing is breaking the glass... jordan just wants to step on glass and crush it. lol. he probably has no idea what it means (neither do i, for that matter) but he got excited when he realized that i'm jewish and that's a jewish tradition and now he can break a glass at his wedding. He's so weird. I know.

we are walking down the isle to irish music
