AAH!  That's *exactly* what it's called!  The Dollar Dance!  Thanks 
so much, Mo... I've been hanging around online to get verification 
for this, b/c otherwise I would have had to take the long route 
around the plotline I need to hit here.  But if it's pretty 
widespread... (falls off chair laughing at the ideas flipping through 
her head)  Of course, we do have a huge Polish immigrant population 
("Polish Wedding" was shot in Hamtramck, an almost entirely Polish 
enclave of the city), so that might account for this.  I've never 
seen it done in the South at all.

Two more questions:  1)  Has anyone ever seen it done in England?  
and 2) Is this restricted to the working and middle classes?  I can't 
imagine old money doing this at their weddings...  ;)
