IT IS A POLISH CUSTOM FOR THE BRIDE AT HER WEDDING TO
DANCE WITH EVERYONE AND GET PAID FOR IT. THE MEN WILL
RANGE FROM GIVING HER $1-$10 JUST FOR ONE DANCE. I
THINK THIS BEGAN BECAUSE THE WEDDING WAS SUCH AN
EXPENSIVE THING TO PAY FOR THAT THE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTED
TO THE BRIDE'S EXPENSES. BY THE WAY, THE MORE FLAT-
CHESTED THE BRIDE WAS THE BETTER, BECAUSE SHE COULD
STUFF MORE MONEY IN HER BRA.
