* The basis for such a minhag is from the Gemara Brachos 50a, which says that they used to throw food at the chasan and kallah at their wedding, and the Gemara Kesubos 15b which says that when a besula gets married, they would give candies to the kids. Rashi in both places says that they would do so because it is a siman bracha. | * The basis for such a minhag is from the Gemara Brachos 50a, which says that they used to throw food at the chasan and kallah at their wedding, and the Gemara Kesubos 15b which says that when a besula gets married, they would give candies to the kids.

* The minhag used to be to throw nuts. Nitey Gavriel (Nisuin 2:3 footnote 4) says that the reason is because nuts have a shell, it symbolizes tznius of kallah. Nitey Gavriel (Nisuin 2:3 footnote 4) gives a second reason, namely, that egoz represents cheit (because in gematria they both equal 18) and the chasan is forgiven for his avonos, so it is symbolic of throwing away his sins. Sheim Mishmuel (Ki Teitzei, page 134) writes that just like when a nut falls in the mud, the inside is still protected because of the shell, so too, when one gets married, it comes with responsibility and dealing with the world of gashmiyus (physicality) as a husband must begin to work so as to ensure he can support his family. Thus, we ensure to give the chasan chizuk by sending him a message that even though he now will enter the world of the physical as he goes to work, he needs to ensure that his inside remains pure and connected to Hashem’s will. | * The minhag used to be to throw nuts.
