Firefighter Garters

PH03N1X, on February 7, 2017 at 2:21 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

Since I was previously married, in my young twenties, but had a courthouse affair that was quite pathetic (so was the supposed marriage, but you live and learn right?) my amazing FH has almost insisted that we have the full wedding when we tie the knot, with all the trimmings. We've booked our venue, gotten engagement photos taken, done STD's and the invitations are almost ready to be sent, I went wedding dress shopping, he'll be in a tux, and we have a bridal party! This is no lame courthouse situation people, it's the real deal and this time I have a real man (and my best friend) to spend the rest of my life with.

Having said that, we've decided we want to do the garter toss, so now I need garters! I have a few options to go with and want your advice. FH is a firefighter and loves his job. Our wedding theme is a fire wolf and phoenix, with wedding colors fiery orange and charcoal grey. My options are listed below:

    I can go with turnout garters, made to appear like they are made from the bunker gear they wear... Option #1

    I can go all out fiery colors... my dress is ivory and I'm having my shoes dyed orange, not sure if this would be too much color? Option #2

    Courthouse weddings aren't lame. I've seen very loving and meaningful ones. Some people here are having courthouse weddings.

    I like the fiery color one.

    Looking at it more, I think the bunker gear one will resonate well with him. Both are nice and symbolic.

    I like the 1st and 3rd option. My FH is a firefighter too so this would be a great way to honor him during our wedding. Smiley winking

    I didn't mean to imply all courthouse weddings were lame, just that mine most certainly was! With the right person it doesn't matter how you get married or even if you do, as it's the commitment that's important. My courthouse situation didn't have that and I was too naïveté to realize. I have also been a part of lovely courthouse unions for friends and they are going strong. I didn't mean to imply the courthouse method was inferior by any means, sorry about that!

    No worries, I'm just protective of all of the posters, some of which have made the courthouse their choice. Have fun deciding on your garter!
