In Indian Catholic weddings, during the Bachelor's Party, the guests break the glasses after raising a
  toast.

  In a tradition followed almost everywhere in the world, the bride stands left to the groom which has an   interesting historical reason behind it. In days of yore when the marriage by capture was common, the   groom would hold his bride to the left, so that his right hand could carry the sword so as to refute any   sudden attack.

  In China just after the wedding, the couple have to exchange red handkerchiefs, with a picture of   mandarin ducks on them since ducks always stay together.

  Wedding rings are usually circular and without any break in between, to symbolize eternal love.

  In Kashmiri weddings a pair of pigeons are set free on the arrival of the bride.

  In olden days the bride and groom were quite young and Hindu weddings would mostly take place at   unearthly hours. To keep the bride and groom awake, an older sister or cousin of the groom would carry a   small metallic pot filled with coins and betel nuts, covered with a cloth. The metal pot with its contents   were shook from time to time and produced a jingling sound, to ensure that the couple stayed awake   during  the entire proceedings!!

  Honeymoon is the first vacation taken by the couple soon after they get married and has an interesting   history wherein the groom would capture his bride and go into hiding with his wife.

   Bread, salt and wine have a significant place in Polish Weddings. The parents while presenting the   newly  weds with these three items are blesssing their children with food (bread), reminding them of life's   ups and  downs (salt), as also wishing them good health and cheer (wine).
