Portuguese Wedding Tradition

The following is one of many Portuguese wedding traditions, called the “Money Dance”.

The tradition behind this dance is that young men pay the bride for the privilege to dance with her.  As the dance takes place, the bride’s shoe is passed around the dance floor and filled with money to signify a happy long life for the bride and groom.

If you know of any Portuguese wedding traditions,  feel free to share them:)
