The old days

I remember a custom from the last century (not sure which decade it might have died out) when couples who were newly married got into a car decorated with white ribbons and with tin cans tied to the tailpipe and honked horns driving all over town, announcing they were "Just Married".

I swear I haven't seen this for at least twenty years. Yes, couples still might hire a limo, but what happened to the noisy hoopla? And where did this custom originate? Please send me what you know. I'll post your description. Also tell me if this custom is still practiced wherever you live.
