one tradition in Iranian weddings is that the bride n groom roll the tip of their fingers in honey and put it in each other's mouth. What is a wedding tradition in your culture?

The bride is only allowed to wear white for that first wedding. Any wedding after that she should wear an off white, eggshell, or cream, something soft but NOT white.

In Pakistani weddings, everyone wears bright vibrant colors. You'll never see white. The wedding is seperated into 3 days, 3 parts. First and foremost, all the paperwork is done and the bride and groom are recited verses from the Quran in front of their families. The first day is called the "Mehndi" in which the bride wears yellow and no makeup. She is in a room with all the women in her family and the groom's family and they apply henna and sing songs. The men usually hang out somewhere else and eat. The second day is the actual wedding. the bride usually wears en elaborate red gown with lots of embrodary and lots of jewelry. Basically everyone eats, dances, and throws in their own details. At the end, the bride and groom are excorted outside to their car, the whole time someone holds the Quran over their head and its usually a sad moment. The third and final day is called the 'Walima" its a party thrown by the groom's family, and it is a time where the families get to see the Bride and Groom for the first time as a married couple before they start their lives together.

wedding soup (that has little rings of noodles in it), feeding each other, banging on the glasses for the couple to kiss, everyone (even children) get to dance with the bride, the groom must ask the bride's parents for her hand in marriage, the groom pays for his bride's dress (it is the very first dress he will buy her), the parents of the bride pay for the wedding, the bride has a hopechest (of the basic and expensive things to start their wedding), a honeymoon, a bridal dinner (which includes the wedding party and the parents, plus the minister and the bride and groom to be), the groom pays the minister, the bride wears white and has a coin in her shoe and wears something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, her mother gives her a set of pearls and she gives her mother a dime, bride and groom don't see each other after the dinner the night before the wedding until the bride appears ready to walk down the aisle in church, the bride throws her flowers at the end of the wedding day and the female who catches it will be the next to be married, the groom throws the garter to the males and the male who catches it will be the next to marry. The bride wears an apron and carries a pan and everyone dances around her and throws in a donation for her to start out with (basics for her kitchen). It has to be a church wedding, and, the church requires several weeks of instructions and three weeks of wedding band announcements in their church bulletin.

Saudi Arabia: The women have a big henna party the night before the wedding and the mothers, aunts, and sisters make a big feast for the guests. In the rural villages we invite all the poor so that they make take part in the wedding and enjoy a good meal. I think the men just sit around and talk the night before. At the wedding, the men and women are seperated by a curtain, with the bride with the women and the groom on the other side with the men. The wedding in Saudi Arabia lasts from 10:00 PM until Fajr prayer which also includes the huge feast. I think after an hour the bride and groom go the husband's home or his parent's home (it depends on the man where they will be living) and the guests just stay to enjoy the party until Fajr. Then they pray Fajr and go home.

The wedding traditions in Indian cultures are similar to ones described by Corky.
Mehndi ceremony is also called 'shagan'.The nikaah ceremony is called 'anand karaj' in my community and Hindoos call it 'vivah'
One important detail which has escaped attention is that in Pakistani as well as Indian wedding traditions 'there is a sabala and sabali which means best friend of groom or bride respectively.
Well Randy S shall be disappointed to know that these days the custom of riding away with bride has vanished, and instead the groom and bride ride away in a car after the ceremony.
But merry-making, dancing like bhangra and jhummar on the loud beat of drums and rejoicing to the accompaniment of loud music is common in all the weddings in the Indian sub-continent.
Even among the Christian communities in this sub-continent merry-making, rejoicing and dancing like bhangra are widely prevalent.

Outdoor Indian ceremony with full ceremonial dress. The groom rides in on a horse, the ceremony, and then he places her on the horse and leads it away. I would only get married in an Indian ceremony, I think.
