crap that white midwesterners like...

I've been to Illinois and Arizona weddings and there were no dollar dances.  Never heard of it.  Sounds terrible.

Why only those 2 places?

I've been to Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, California off the top of my head and each one had a dollar dance. It's not really a big deal. Everybody who wants to just comes up and dances with the bride or groom for 30 seconds. The best man/maid of honor collect a dollar or whatever you want to give. This is a pretty established tradition that comes from European immigrants.

At the Mexican wedding, they literally pinned cash to the brides dress during the dance. My reaction to this triggered some wholly unfounded allegations of cultural insensitivity.

I just remembered a Mexican wedding I went to that involved a tequila shot taken from the groom's shoe. I don't remember if there was a dollar dance or not.

This one was in the gym attached to the local church and the priest kicked everyone out after the bride's family tried to sneak in a bunch of kegs.

Yes to this. The first one was awesome, until I saw the second one. Then the first one sucked just like all of the rest of them.

Probs not a priest. Catholics/Anglicans don't mind a few kegs

When there is a quarterback competition and one of the leading candidates shows up at a youth camp to help the youngsters learn to throw laser spirals, and then the other leading candidate is nowhere to be found.

The other one was probably in a parking lot somewhere grabbing his junk and flipping the bird.

no.  nondenominational ceremony took less than fifteen minutes by design.  the sole focus was fun for everyone at the reception.  did the table rounds by way of thanks/greeting.  no garter toss or bouquet toss.  did cut cake and have a first dance.  limited fanfare.  only two speeches (maid of honor/best man) both concise and sufficiently funny/endearing.  i actually had fun.   

Welp.  Evidently Mr. Bread is Mrs. CNS. 

Love you, Hon.

Was going to make this same joke.  You both must be studs. 

Also, Bread is correct in that the dollar dance is for poors.
