A while ago, we wrote a post about the weirdest things about American weddings, according to non-Americans. Many of our readers from the BuzzFeed Community around the world shared even more American wedding traditions they don't quite understand. Here are the interesting results:
1. The huge wedding parties
2. The rehearsal dinners
3. The looong cocktail hour
4. The cost
5. The live bands
6. The showers and registries
7. The cake smooshing
8. The first date at a wedding
9. The buffets
10. The save-the-date cards
11. The wedding party paying for their attire
12. The all-white weddings
13. The cash bars
14. The ~showing off~
15. And finally, the garter toss
