In Thailand, the mothers of the bride and
groom walk to the altar to drape puang
malai -- flower garlands -- around the
couple's shoulders to wish them good
fortune in their life together.

Swedish and Danish grooms sew small
pockets of strong-smelling herbs like
garlic, chives, and rosemary into their
clothes for good luck.

The Indian groom's brother sprinkles
flower petals over the couple at the end of
the ceremony to protect them from evil.

Ancient Greek brides often carried ivy at
their weddings as a symbol of their
never-ending love for their sweeties.

Ancient Roman brides carried bunches of
herbs to symbolize fidelity and fertility --
and to scare off evil spirits.

The Victorians, who were fascinated by the
meanings of different blooms, popularized
the wedding rose, which represents true
love.

Also in Victorian ages, the bride originally
tossed her bouquet to a friend as she left
the festivities to keep that friend safe (by
warding off evil spirits, of course) and to
offer her luck; this came to mean that the
single woman who caught the bouquet
would marry next
