Will there be and what is a Pittsburgh Cookie Table?
The wedding will have a Pittsburgh Cookie Table!
Help bring a little bit of Becky's hometown traditions to HER out of town wedding.
History of the tradition -
"While no one is really quite sure when the cookie table tradition began, the general consensus is that immigrants started it out of necessity. Elaborate wedding cakes were expensive, and many immigrants were unable to afford them. Cookies could be made for the wedding by grandmothers, mothers, and other family members at a relatively low cost that was spread out among many people. By bringing old-world cookies to weddings, the tradition was also a way for immigrants to honor their heritage in their new country."
If you are interested in baking cookies for the reception, please let us know!

Will there be and what is a Dollar Dance?
There will be a Dollar Dance at the Wedding!
Bring your cash but not for the bar! The Bride and Groom will be paying gratuity to all staff at the wedding. DO NOT TIP THEM YOURSELVES!
Instead, any tips or extra "somethin-somethin" you would like to gift to the happy couple, please do so during this fun traditional dance.
"The money dance is a cultural tradition at many wedding receptions in where guests offer the newlyweds money to dance with them, or they shower the couple with money. The custom—which you'll find variations of in Poland, Greece, Nigeria, Philippines, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Portugal, Cuba, Latin America, Mexico, Eastern Europe, the United States, and more—is meant to help establish the couple in their new life together or to show how much they are loved and appreciated."
