I like to see the pony races as different in culture,which is only strengthened by the episode Hearth's warming eve.

My theories are given the information given from the show,more accuratly Hearth's warming eve.

The pegasus where determined, fearless warriors.The unicorns where regal and reserved.The earthponies are hardworking and strong workers. Maybe;

The pegasus have a ceremony which could involve weather and speed.When two pegasus fall in love they enter courtship in a set of trials that would help the two not only be strong as a mother and father but as two parents. These tasks would have to be something the pegasus are responsible for. (A sun pegasus would have to help the sun shine brightly,or a rain pegasus could gather a large amount of water...just examples.)

The unicorns could pass on the rings much like how indians(Not native americans) hold onto gold as a financial dowry. It is a status symbol of your wealth and your family's worth to the unicorn society.( Which is strongly hinted to in Rarity's trip to canterlot) There are no poor unicorns,and we dont even see any "middle class" ones either.

A considerable amount of earthponies live as farmers/traders or handyponies. They do manual labor. A farmer's life isn't highly profitable(from what I've seen) most farmer's are middle class to in the brink of poverty. A wedding no doubt would be a serious investment or food and time,time and food they could sell or spend on thier growing crops. Maybe in the case of a earthpony marraige it is a feast of the family's crop,since buying a ring or jewelry wouldn't fit to well with a harkworker's gritty posture.(Do you see applejack wear jewelry?)
