Garter toss

Skipping it. We both feel uncomfortable about the idea

The garter thing makes me uncomfortable anyway, but lets take a look at those lyrics:

I'm just a bachelor

I'm looking for a partner

Someone who knows how to ride

Without even falling off

Gotta be compatible

Takes me to my limits

Girl when I break you off

I promise that you won't want to get off

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

Sitting here flossing

Peepin' your steelo

Just once if I have the chance

The things I would do to you

You and your body

Every single portion

Send chills up and down your spine

Juice flowing down your thigh

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If we're gonna get nasty baby

First we'll show and tell

Till' I reach your pony tail, oh

Lurk all over and through you baby

Until we reach the stream

You'll be on my jockey team, oh

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

If you're horny lets do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle's waiting, come and jump on it

Ride it, saddles

So to review:

He's talking about your riding him naked (aka having sex), without falling off

Then talking about getting you off

Saying he's horny, let's do it

His **** is waiting, jump on it

Then goes onto talk about your "juices" flowing down your thigh

*Repeat the above again*

Talks about getting nasty

I think that's enough.... do YOU really want your mom, dad, grandma, aunts, possibly children hear that?! WHILE your husband is UP your dress??

I feel weird doing the garter toss but I do love that song...

We're happily passing on this tradition.

We are skipping it for all of the reasons above - so uncomfortable - but both of our parents were surprised because they thought it was a perfectly fine tradition... which I thought was kind of funny. Is our generation more prude than our parents?

He wants to *dance* to a song about sex, while removing an item of clothing from underneath your dress, in front of grandma? There are ways to do a classy garter toss, but that sounds more suited for the bachelorette. Or maybe the honeymoon.

I love the song, too... but not in front of GRANDMA!!

My FH and I have decided to do an anniversary dance in lieu of the garter and bouquet tosses. We both feel the garter toss is a bit awkward as well and want to honor all the married couples. It will start with everyone on the dance floor. Our DJ will play a slow dance song where it will be kind of like a dance-off ("if you’ve been married for 2 years or less, please leave the floor" – and so on and so on...., until the couple who has been married the longest are the only ones left. They will then be the ones to recieve my bouquet.

We are doing it and the bouquet toss. However we aren't going to do "donning of the garter"

I hate garter tosses and I would be mortified if I attended a wedding that had that song playing for one.

We r skipping it

Skipping it. As a guest I'm always amused by it but not in a good way if you know what I mean?

I think that's hilarious! We're grown with a kid...I think everyone would get a kick out of this!

There's a lot of people on here that don't like it, but we did it and it was fine. He didn't strip, we didn't make it sexual, and honestly I find it more funny than cringe-worthy. It's totally your personal preference!

ETA - We used Why Can't This Be Love by Van Halen for the song, so again, not raunchy.

I still don't know why, but my husband was excited about this part and picked the song. He did Oh Yeah from Ferris Bueller. I've never seen him dance like that before. He was really into it. Lol.

We are doing it but I don't know about that song. It's pretty sexy. You know your crowd better than I do.

Skipping it

Definitely skipping it

We're doing it, and probably to that song! It's just meant to be a funny break from a formal event. Like someone else said, we'll be tipsy/drunk by that point and I'm sure guests will be entertained lol.

We are not taking it off that's a little too much for me...he is going to keep one I'm his pocket to throw.
