Wedding Guide produced the following result for Mom's Dresses :

Customs and Traditions ATTENDANTS: This tradition originated during Roman times when up to 10 witnesses attended the wedding with all dressing exactly as the bride and groom. They did this to confuse and “ward off” the evil spirits. RITE OF PASSAGE: The Pomo Indian tribe, from the Russian River Valley, had many “rites of passage” for the prospective bride and groom. The young people did not have the right to choose; to show their approval the bridegroom’s parents would go to the bride’s house and decorate her from head to toe with all sorts of necklaces, belts, and ropes. THROWING RICE: Many of the early weddings revolved around fertility rituals. One such ritual included showering the bride and groom with nuts, grains, and almonds to bring them many children. During the lean years of the Middle Ages, guest began tossing rice. Today the tradition continues from tossing rice, birdseed, or confetti to the releasing of balloons or white doves. THE RING FINGER: The early Hebrews placed the wedding ring on the index finger. The western custom of placing a wedding ring on the “third” finger began in the third century BC. Greek physicians believed that the “vein of love” ran from the “third finger” directly to the heart. 19th CENTURY POEM: (Indicates the many superstitions surrounding the bride’s attire.) Married in white you have choosen right; Married in green ashamed to be seen; Married in gray you will go far away. Married in red, you will wish yourself dead; Married in blue, love ever true; Married in yellow, your ashamed of your fellow; Married in black you will wish yourself back; Married in pink, of you he’ll aye think.
