Yes, lol I really think traditions are up to the bride and groom and their preferences--it's definitely my fh's HAHA

Well, it's your wedding day, and you should do whatever you two decide to do!

I agree! I hope it does turn out that way!

He can take the garter off of me any way he chooses in private later that night. Not in front of our family and friends.

Idk if we’re doing this..all of the weddings we’ve recently been to the men aren’t excited to catch a garter

Nah! That whole tradition just seems uncomfortable to me

Also undecided on this, but probably no unless we do it for the joke.

If your doing the bouquet, you have to do the garter

Not sure, but probably not.

Not doing this.

I hadn't planned on it but DH found out I had both garters on so we went for it lol. He took the wrong one off first oops

Nope. only if i do the bouquet toss and i dont plan on it. lol

That is too funny! I bet that is a moment you will never forget!

Oh yeah! I'm going to let FH decide how he wants to do that because I know he wants to make it creative lol

It depends on if we do bouquet toss or not

View Quoted Comment You can do bouquet toss without it! My brother and sis-in-law just did!

I personally would not want to have my FH (then H) digging under my dress in front of 275 people including our parents, grandparents, and elderly family members. it's just awkward af to me! but we are doing a garter toss anyways with the guys behind my FH while I'm tossing a bouquet to the ladies behind me! simple and cool way to modify the out-of-date tradition in our eyes.

No garter toss for us! My fiancé thinks the whole thing is weird and after looking up the purpose, I just can’t bring myself to want to. It started because people wanted “proof” of consummation so people would come into the room with the bride and groom and try to get pieces of their undergarments for good luck. So the groom started tossing the garter so they wouldn’t come into the room. That’s summarized, but yeah. Plus I don’t want everyone staring as my groom goes under my dress and I especially don’t want everyone thinking about our sex life.

Hi Anna-May! I completely agree! You can absolutely choose to do a bouquet toss and forego the garter toss!
