Our marriage traditions mostly come from ancient Roman ceremonies. The white dress and veil came from them, as well as the ring finger. However, we have very distinct differences. Girls did not choose their husbands, their fathers did. Also, girls got married when they were 14. We also get the busiest month for marriages from the Romans, they chose June because it was lucky. There was much more power for a woman in Rome than in Athens, so after marriage, they could make many more decisions.
