Someone told me the Bridal dance at weddings is a western PA thing. Since TOL has a wide geographical distribution, I wanted to ask here. Do you do the Bridal dance at weddings in your region?
Do You Have the "Bridal Dance"?

In Colorado is pretty common.
Have no clue what you are talking about.
I wasn't sure either.
If it just the dance between bride and groom?
Or is it the dance where others give money to dance with the bride?
Is he talking about a wedding reception or wedding, ive never heard of dancing at the actual wedding or a special bridal dance.

It's at the reception actually. Guests form a line and wait their turn to dance with the bride. When it's your turn you will put money in a bag (usually held by the made of honor.). Usually a few dollars. Then you dance with the bride briefly. Usually just a few seconds. Then the groom or other designated person will give you a jello shot or shot of some other alcohol like Apple Pucker or something.
After everyone's had a turn, the groomsmen surround the bride and the groom must wrestle his way to the bride while the guests laugh and cheer him on.
This has been done at every wedding I've ever been to. I thought everyone did it, but I have heard it's a western PA thing mostly. Probably of Polish origin.

Idk. I can't see the gif. Maybe a problem with the TOL app? I'll see if I can find a video.

Its like this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RIBonlHz1bQ
Sometimes you make a line and sometimes dance around in a circle till your turn like this.
Then if ends like this, with the groom trying to get to the bride. In this video he has some guys helping him but it's usually just the groom by himself.

it DOES look like fun, and it includes EVERYONE
If you're not married, do it at your wedding. If you are, suggest that to other people. More people need to be doing this haha
