Cajun traditions

What are some of the Cajun wedding traditions, and where did they come from? I have an Acadian name, but growing up in New Orleans, we did not have a lot of them carry over.  I am looking to go back to some of My "roots"Laughing

Re: Cajun traditions

  • Can I ask what is your maiden name? I actually attended a French  university in Nova Scotia for 5 weeks about 4 years ago to study French. It was a very interesting experience. I am not sure some of the Cajun traditions for marriage, although I had the "money dance" is a South Louisiana tradition. My fiance, who is from central Louisiana, said that he hadn't ever heard of a money dance until he attended a wedding in Lafayette.
