Brief story:
On one of his birthdays, Lord Ganesha was traveling around house to house on his mouse, his vehicle. He was accepting sweets from people from the houses. Suddenly his mouse saw a snake and was shaken. Ganesha stumbled and fell to the ground. Ganesha's stomach split apart. Ganesha quickly took the snake and tied it around his stomach. The Moon which was watching from above in the sky could not control itself and burst out laughing. Slighted, Ganesha pulled out one of his tusks and threw it at the Moon. Even to this day, the moon is cursed. If you look at the moon on Ganesha Chaturthi, that is Ganesh's birthday, it is believed that it will bring bad luck.

If we see moon the third day of Ganesh Chathurthi it is good.... When the Moon Pleaded and cried , Ganesh gave a wish to moon that if any one see him third day od Ganesh chathrthi it is good.
The curse was not to see that MOON That day.. If they see they will get a blame of undone mistake...
Remedy:
In case if any of u see by mistake.. u can take a bowl of milk to terrace see the reflection of moon in that milk and pray the moon and dring it

Wedding Supersitions in the West
The poem goes:
Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Blue, you will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Brown, you will live in the town,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink
Also, it is bad luck to use red roses in the bridal bouquet.
Doesnt apply to us Indians at all ! For us, red, pink, yellow are the most auspicious colors, especially for weddings......... and white on the other hand is completely out of weddings...
