But in addition to consuming those goodies there's also the tradition of the Wedding Cookie Dance. The cookies are built up into a cake and set up in the middle of the dance floor. With the bride and groom leading the dance off, everyone dances around the cookie/cake table and takes a cookie. This traditional wedding cookie dance originated in Italy but has become increasingly popular at Italian Weddings in the United States. And the fun thing about the Italian Wedding Cookie dance is that even if you can’t dance, you can still bounce around the table and eat a cookie!
Italian Wedding Cookies are sold year round so you can buy prepackaged ones at almost any supermarket. It might take a bit of patience to build one into a cake, but if you can buy the cookies you can build the cake. At least you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen baking the cookies!

This just might get my dad to dance w/my mom!
Not sure this would go over at an African themed wedding tho! But it sounds like a lot of fun.
LOL Funny Latoya! But am sure you could be 'italian for a day' if you wanted to. I can see my groom really getting into this dance, anything for cookies!
Must admit I've never heard of it, but you guys are right, it might just get the men on the dance floor, as long as there isn't an eagles game on in the bar!
any idea where I can get those wedding cookies?
Lisa B: just check your local italian bakery (or even your higher end grocery store may sell them) Of course you can make your own, but it's a lot of work when you're about to get married!
