After Megan and Brett's Ceremony at The UGA Chapel, they held a beautiful reception at The Thompson House and Gardens in Bogart.Megan and Brett included in their reception a Western Pennsylvania Tradition (that I'd never seen) called The Apron Dance. I'll try to explain it here, next to the corresponding photo. In this first picture you see the maid of honor with the bag for the cash, the best man who will help hand out the shots, and the caterer with the tray of whiskey.First things first, this tradition is all about the Polka. So each guest is invited to pay a few dollars cash to have a quick, 5-10 second dance with the bride and a shot of liquor.After their dance and shot, the guests start a circle of dancing around the bride. Once all of the guests have had their turn, the Mother of the Bride begins dancing with the bride and the circle of dancing guests closes around them.It is at this point that the groom has to break through the dancing guests to take his bride from her mom.Once the groom makes his way in it is traditional for him to pick up his bride, carry her away and off to the honeymoon. Since we weren't ready for the party to end they had a dance together, and we continued to celebrate into the night. It was a great way to get all of the guests on the dance floor, drinking, dancing, and having a great time! Congratulations Brett and Megan!
