So last night FH and I were discussing the reception. The garter toss part came up and he wanted to know what song we'd play before the actual toss while he goes under my dress to "retrieve" it. Well...

I know this is far in advance, but my friends and family members have mentioned this to me and I don't know this works. I know that "traditionally", the bride will walk down the aisle to her groom....

My side is ethnic, his side is not. I want to offer something to explain my family's traditions but not much is out there since we are a rare breed. I found this article, though, which is cute and...
