It was traditionally believed that weddings are susceptible to evil spirits and bad luck. There are many wedding superstitions and these are the ones I found online:
1. It is bad luck for the bride to remove her engagement ringbefore her wedding
2. It is thought to bring bad luck to buy engagement rings and wedding rings at the same time. It is also considered bad luck to wear the wedding ring before the ceremony.
3. It is considered bad luck if the groom will see his bride on the wedding day or see her in her wedding dress before the wedding ceremony in church.
4. Sunny weather during the wedding is also a sign of good luck.
5. It is considered good luck for the bride to glace in her mirror just before leaving for the wedding but bad luck to return to look in her mirror after she had left the bedroom to start her journey to her wedding.
6. The the groom drops the wedding band during the ceremony, the marriage is doomed.
7. If a bride sees a pig, hare or lizard running across the road an open grave or to meet a nun or moon on her wedding day.
8. There are certain day that are better than others for a wedding.
9. Wearing a garter is believed to bring good luck.
10. Throwing rice at the couple leaves the church and enhances their fertility.

M$The exact origin of the wedding ring is uncertain and is rife with superstition and mythology. Papyruses dating back to the ancient Egyptian civilization depict wedding rings, and historians credit the land of the Pharaohs with originating this tradition. Engagement or betrothal rings were in use as far back as prehistoric times, but the wedding ring is a relatively new tradition, and unlike the engagement ring, is steeped in religious ritual.
In ancient times, accepting a wedding ring constituted a legally binding agreement between husband and wife. The wife became property of the husband, a holding of sorts. It also represented protection to the wife—a protection against challengers seizing her legal and rightful position in a power grab.
