When there is a tradition you've grown up with it is always odd to hear someone talk about this "new" think they have seen at a recent wedding. Growing up in Western, PA the cookie table at weddings is a given.

In grad school at the University of Pittsburgh one of my classes was a multicultural studies class and we discussed the cookie table. There was a great article in the Pittburgh Post-Gazette with photos of various wedding cookie tables. Naturally I wasn't able to find the article this morning but did find some info:
