Hungarian wedding traditions that will be observed:

Menyasszonytánc (”bridal dance”)

Also known as the “money dance”, the bridal dance involves all guests and the bride. Traditionally, the father, best man or a master of ceremony would announce that the “bride is for sale." He would hold a large pot to collect money from all the guests to “pay” for the privilege of dancing with the bride (usually just a couple of seconds of spinning her around). Originally, this was a way of providing the couple money for their new life together. Nowadays the amount of money thrown into the pot ranges is symbolic, the emphasis is really on the gesture of contributing to the couple’s new life.

Please bring cash if you'd like to participate in the "money dance."
