Why do they throw rice at weddings? Fertility, some think. Others think that it is to feed any evil spirits at the wedding, so that they have other things to do, and make them happy so they leave the couple alone. Many people say you shouldn't throw rice to birds because it kills them. That's not true. Rice is as harmless to birds as, well, rice. They eat it all the time in the fields. It's just hard to clean up. And you can fall on it, pretty easily. That's why they invented the lie.
