Money dance

Okay, little one, let me tell you about the money dance. You know how sometimes at a wedding or other special event, people like to dance to celebrate? Well, sometimes during the dancing, the bride and groom (or sometimes just the bride) will do a special dance called the money dance.

During this dance, guests will come up and dance with them for a little bit, but then they will also give them money as a gift. The bride and groom will put the money in a special bag or container, and the guests will keep dancing.

Why do people do this? Well, it's a tradition that started a long time ago in different cultures around the world. The idea is that by giving the couple money, you are helping them start their new life together. It's a way to show them how much you care about them and wish them well as they begin their journey as a married couple.

So, the money dance is basically a fun way to celebrate and give a special gift to the bride and groom as they start their new life together. Pretty cool, huh?
