Ditching the garter and bouquet toss... at weddings, this is the best time for guests to go get a drink because these scheduled "necessities" just kill time and the mood. The worst part of a wedding...other than the tacky dollar dance.

We are doing it because my FH wants to. I am fine with ditching this and the bouquet toss though.

I’m not for him going up my dress in front of everyone. So we’re doing a bow tie toss

Right?! I don’t remember exactly how I found it, but I’m pretty sure I went down a rabbit hole on Etsy one afternoon

Lol, something about your phrasing makes me laugh really hard, Elizabeth!! Did you even consider it? Would you do it if your FS wanted to do it?

What's keeping you on the fence about this tradition, Amber? Have you had a conversation about it with your FS?

My FH and I haven’t discussed this yet but I’m a definite NO on the garter toss. I don’t want to sit there and look awkward while he rummages under my dress. No thank you!

Nope- it was never an option. I just can't imagine the whole retrieval process in front of my brothers and grandfather. EEK.

I do. I hope he doesn't get frisky removing it, I don't want to be embarrassed.
