The Biblical Understanding of Weddings & Marriage p3
In part 3, we go over more ridiculous and lewd pagan wedding traditions that churchgoers believe are sacred.

Chris said they use seeds to throw  rather then rice for the safety of birds. But yet rice is a grain seed. Just to end this rice kills birds myth, we feed birds all the time ever with rice. We also have to come up with scarecrow to keep birds off rice plantation.

[Jeanne]

He didn't say it was for the safety of birds; he said it was BETTER for birds, since seeds are better food for many birds. If you're going to criticise a quote, make sure you quote it right!

[creationliberty]

No, I said it was for bird safety, but I don't believe anyone was able to conclusively prove that throwing rice was killing birds.

[Jeanne]

My apologies. I got mixed up with what was said in the book.

The first time I got "married" my brother didn't open the sachet of bird seed, he just hit me in the head with the whole thing.
STUPID pagan traditions are EVIL! (Humph.) 

[strangersmind]

Chris makes a great point when he said it is a day that the woman gets worship. For a man most I have talk to over the years hated everything about marriage tradition. They could not wait to get it over with. When my brother was getting married, they sat there for about 3 hours alone to pick wedding invitations. I walk by laughing at my brother on how bored he was. He ask me to pick one so he can get it over with. I told him who not post invitation on fb save so much time and cost. It was as if I kicked a holy sacred cow,  his wife look at me with anger and said that way is so unpersonal . His wedding at the end was a disaster most of everyone was playing on phone and are grandma went to hospital where she ended up dieing.

After mine, I felt like it was a waste of money and wished we put it on a house instead. I think that was the beginning of me not liking doing things for the sake of tradition.
