Traditions are pretty much superstitions dressed up, for instance weddings have some odd traditions. Did they just randomly apply them or did they see a good wedding and think, "from now on we have to do all weddings the same way." Whatever the case may be, let's look at a few of these "traditions." In Germany wedding guests break porcelain to bring the couple good luck as their saying goes,"Scherben bringen Gluck", shards bring luck. Sort of staying with the wedding theme, in Denmark if you're not married by the time you're 25 family and friends throw cinnamon at you, and if still unmarried by 30 they throw pepper at you. It kind of makes throwing bouquets and wearing something blue seem tame by comparison.
