When I got married, we did the dances a little differently... when I danced with my dad, the groom danced with his mom, and when I danced with my stepdad, groom danced with my mom. Honestly, I threw in the dance with my dad so he wouldn't feel left out completely-- my stepdad walked me down the aisle, since he was way more of a father figure to me.
Everything else was pretty standard, tradition-wise. I did NOT want to do the Dollar Dance, though...I thought it was tacky, and just another way to ask for money, and I didn't feel comfortable doing so. However, at the reception, about 15 different people asked about it, so I said "fuck it...let's do it."
One thing I wish I'd done-- at a few weddings I've been to, instead of a bouquet toss, the bride gave it to her her maid of honor. I thought that was cool.
If I do it again...which isn't likely...I'm thinking I'll focus more on an awesome honeymoon that the ceremony itself (although, I did find out a few months ago that the science museum in Columbus has rental areas for weddings, birthdays, and conferences. How awesome would that be?!)
