I'm stunned by how many "traditions" there are surrounding weddings, and how many of them could be safely done away with. At my best friend's wedding (I was the M of H), there was some weird "parade of attendants" thing before the dance, there were 5 HOURS of photos, lots of hoopla around the toasts and cutting the cake and things...it was just a LOT.
I say ditch what you don't personally find meaningful, or at least replace it with something that is symbolic/meaningful for you. Your guests will thank you for not holding them hostage waiting for the next staged activity.
