Greek Wedding Money Dance

[Dimitri159]

I think it's a Cypriot and maybe a Pontian Greek thing, not completely sure.

The first Greek wedding I went to was half (Cretan) Greek and half Anglo, and I didn't see a money dance at all. I go to my second Greek wedding this May, the husband is from the island Chios and the wife is from Central Greece, so I'll get back to all of you on whether or not there's a money dance.

Update:

So I went to the wedding yesterday. There was definitely money thrown on the dance floor, but there wasn’t necessarily a “money dance” in a sense that it was wrapped around the spouses like in the video posted. It must be specifically a Cypriot and Pontian custom, but not mainland Greek, although apparently we do throw money around them on the dance floor which is similar enough.
