Traveled several hundred miles and just got back from my niece's wedding in eastern Nebraska. She and her now husband have been living in sin for twelve years and finally tied the knot.

Outdoor wedding at a very nice farm. Dinner and dancing to follow. Looked forward to happy event.

Immediately....and I mean immediately after the "kiss the bride", the entire wedding party got into trucks and left. They were gone for about what seemed to be an hour. Turns out they all went to the bar and had drinks.

When I asked what the deal was I was told "It's a Nebraska thing." Ok. My parents came from this exact part of the state and I never heard of this tradition.

Any other wedding traditions to confuse the outsiders?

in our part of the world, part of the best man's duties is to come to the groom just before the ceremony and offer him a ride over the state line, with no questions asked.

I was best man for several weddings, and did my duty. In one instance the fellow nearly took me up on it, but decided to go through with the wedding. It took him 6 months to get out of it afterwards. The bride announced on the wedding night that she was going to remain celebate.

In another instance I heard of after the fact, the groomsmen decided to spike the groom's drinks and after he passed out, took him to the Greyhound bus station. He woke up crossing the Georgia line mid-afternoon the next day. He was hopping mad, but later decided it was for the best.

I’ve heard of some unusual wedding traditions, but heading to the bar right after the ceremony is a new one for me.
One thing I’ve noticed is that groomsmen always play a big part in these traditions, whether it’s something crazy like a chivaree or just helping things go smoothly. And they always seem to look good doing it. If you’re ever in charge of getting the guys dressed, checking out groomsmen's suits in advance might be worth it. The right suits can really make those wedding moments stand out.

Good morning! It's good that I came across your question in my feed. My boyfriend was looking for flowers for me. I was very happy and asked him where he got them, he showed me one site https://cakes-sydney.com/category/birthday-cakes/ where we ordered a large bouquet for my mother for her anniversary. Look, maybe , which is what you will find. Good luck.
