Rice
White rice is traditional, for fertility for the newly wed couple. Rice isn't usually used anymore since it can kill the birds that eat the rice. Some alternatives are blowing bubbles at them or throwing bird seed. Also, seeing that pelt means to assail, you aren't really supposed to "pelt" them with it. You throw it in their direction, but it is supposed to be a nice seeing off, not an all out assault.
