Throwing rice at the newly married couple dates back centuries as a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Food has represented plentiful crops in that the tiny “seed” may grow into a large bountiful plant.
Tossing birdseed is more of a modern trend. This stemmed from the urban legend that birds would eat the uncooked rice which would expand in their stomachs causing the birds to explode. However, uncooked rice is harmless to birds.
Rice and birdseed may be more hazardous to guests attending the wedding. Some people have slipped on both items that are on hard floors or steps of the church.
Even more contemporary trends include tossing rose petals or fall leaves as well as blowing bubbles and waving sparklers.
