The wedding car is just as important in the wedding rites.  The wedding car is the first venue for a couple to be alone and have privacy after they leave the church or the reception.  In older times, it is considered good luck to have the wedding carriage drawn by gray horses.  It is also a good omen if the wedding carriage meets a gray horse on the way to reception. It is considered bad luck if a horse refuses to move or walk to or after the ceremony.  

These days, it is considered ill luck when  the car won't start or breaks down.  It is also believed that after the bride is set at the church door the car should travel for a short distance before going back.  Not doing so would cause the bride or groom bad luck.  

Wedding cars are usually decorated with flowers, or a sign that says Just Married, or hung with tin cans.  These tin cans clank along the pavement as the car moves.  The noise it makes is believed to ward off evil spirits.
