[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in CT, basically a burb of NYC. We had many Italian neighborhoods around us. At the Italian weddings I went to, the bride and groom would circulate among the guests, going from table to table, with a special "bag" the bride carried, made out of white satin, embroidered with pearls, etc. She would place envelopes from the guests in the bag. Envelopes full of money. Everyone knew that bringing such an envelope was expected. It wasn't on the invitation. But yes it seemed to me, even as a kid, as a fancy way to shake down your guests. And it did seem cultural to me - never seen it at a non-Italian wedding. So make of that what you will.[/quote]
