German Traditions?

[mary-kathy]

Reecy pointed out that the dollar dance is a polish/russian tradition. Well, my family always has a money dance but does anyone know a German tradition for weddings? Both my FH and I are from German Heritage but we don't know any traditions that are related to Germany. Any Ideas?
Thanks Mary-Kathy

I talked to my Grandmother, and in Germany they used to pin the money to the bride's dress - so its a German tradition as well - but I don't think you want money pinned to your dress, especially if its satin or anything that would retain pinholes!
