Here in Pittsburgh, the cookie table is a staple but we have never encountered in in the nearly dozen other states where we have photographed weddings.  Some traditions are more standard and predictable that others. In the tiny town of Ridgway, Illinois, their tradition stops people on the streets- literally. At some point during every wedding reception, a convoy of firetrucks descends upon the site to escort the bride and groom. The tradition is that the groom, at times unsuspecting, has the honor of pushing his new bride around an entire block on a wheel barrow. Wedding guests, as well as onlookers, line the streets and in impromptu mini- parade unfolds. Jennifer and Justin were no exception, and the only thing that drowned out their hysterical laughter were the booming sirens from the firetrucks!
