PoohsHoneyBee,
at my friend's wedding we did all those things! i dont know why we run around the bride, but i do know why we strip the groom down (or so I think...this is what i have heard).
The groom is taken by all the guys and stripped down and the clothes are thrown/given to the bride so she can dress her man back up....you know to symbolize the wifely duties of picking up after him and taking care of him.
another funny one we do is the bride wraps a belt around the grooms neck (kinda like walking a dog) while he sweeps the floor with a broom....sorta to show who rules!
yeah yeah not exactly PC but at least in most of my family the woman seems all wifely and bow down to the man but in reality shes the one that rules and is in charge of the bank accounts. the servient wifey image is all for show! lol lol.
another we do (had it at my wedding) is the dollar dance. i think alot of non-latino weddings do this to but basically you pin money on the bride and groom to be able to dance with them.
