    Hi Atty! I think it's all about your guests and how you think they would react! I can't wait to hear what you choose to do! Smiley smile

    I think it's so uncomfortable to watch so doing it would be even more uncomfortable so no way not doing it

    I kinda don’t want to- seems very cliches and like calls out all the single people (weird) but my FH really wants to do the garter thing. He caught one at the last wedding he was at, wants to fling that one into the crowd. I think it’s weird, and we aren’t doing many traditional things in our wedding but I caved because literally everything else he’s caved on for me and what I want Smiley tongue

    I’ve decided to just give him the garter to have in his pocket on the day off that way we still keep somewhat of the tradition of tossing it but he won’t be going up my dress 😂

    If it was up to me, I'd definitely OMIT this ( I feel like this is something to be shared privately between husband and wife) but I know my fiancé will say otherwise. We'll try to see if we can meet half-way on this lol

    Hi Kelitha! You can always do a garter toss without a public removal! Smiley smile

    NOPE! To me it is just far too awkward to have my FH fondle under my dress for everyone to watch. Hard, hard pass.
