Rice is native to tropical and subtropical southern Asia.
Wheat originated in Southwest Asia.
Rice is generally mentioned in Vedas as staple food. Rice is used in all auspicious occasion in Hindu ceremony.
Kumkum is used as a symbol in religious ceremony. Not just woman, In all temples, pujas, and holi. In south India the Iyangar men also use red tilak.

These things are normally used in a hindu marriage... and here is the significance of each of the items that are offered to the fire...
Fresh flowers - to signify beauty;
Coconut - to signify fertility;
Rice, jaggery and other grains - to signify the food necessary for sustenance of human life;
Ghee (purified butter) - to feed the sacred fire;
Kumkum (vermilion) - red powder used for marking the forehead to signify good luck and to say that your soul (husband) is with you.
The arrival of the bridegroom's party at the venue is heralded by special musical tunes played on the shehnai (flute).
Rice is used coz... its the staple food of all hindus....and the country.... maze jowar and other grains are secondary.... but u rarely see a house without rice.... so its kind of a significance of abundity of food... to the couple.......
the red sindhoor or *** *** is a sign that the woman boost on her forehead saying that...
"my husband has come and iam married now..and this will shine on my forehead till he is with me.".......
it is also taken as a sign of wellbeing of the husband........
