At most of the greek weddings I've been a part of, including my own, it is NOT custom to start strolling at any point in time. Now of course, the sweetheart song/hymn of the bride and/or groom's organization has been sung, but I find it so G-E-T-T-O to be hopping/strolling around your, what, WEDDING RECEPTION! Come on!
And being from Chicago, where the 'lectric slide and the new Casper slide are mandatory cultural dances, as is the bus stop, I cannot let these symbols of love and togetherness be called ghetto. They are tradition at every wedding, birthday party, fundraiser (yes, my chapter's big la-di-da event featured both the 'lectric slide and the Casper slide), graduation party-hell, even some baby showers get live with the slide around here!
I have so many ghetto wedding reflections, my mind can't focus on just a few. Suffice to say, my mother-in-law wore a white beaded dress to my wedding, that looked MYSTERIOUSLY bridal, then approached me after the ceremony to tell me that though she tried to outdo me and look better than me, she just couldn't do it!!!!!!!!!!!! Mmph, mmph, MMMMM!
