The "money dance" originated as a custom in Poland, and is a popular
tradition found celebrated in the weddings of today. It takes place
sometime after the first dance and is usually announced by the DJ. It
is customary for the best man to begin dancing with the bride, pinning
money onto her gown or putting it into a satin bag carried by the
bride, especially for the money dance. A newer rendition of this
money dance includes bridesmaids and other ladies dancing with the
groom, pinning money on his lapel.
