I agree - My husband has performed over 1000 weddings and we've never heard of this "tradition". Dgcooley has it right, the receiving line is where the bride & groom do the 'meet and greet' thing. I'm betting a lot of people would be offended by the suggestion that they need to pay a dollar to have that special moment with the happy couple. And besides, how many people carry one dollar bills to wedding receptions (unless they have a cash bar)?

Excellent article! A lot of people call my husband (a non-denom minister) and are worried that the ceremony will have to include God or some form of religious talk. They are quite pleased to learn that their ceremony is THEIRS and they can dictate every single word that is spoken. It's a wonderful time to be getting married (this century I mean) as the bride and groom control it all down to the tiniest detail. We've performed hundreds of ceremonies that don't include any type of 'creator' unless you count Mother Earth! And outdoor ceremonies are the best of the best! Thanks for a great article!
