No...not a fan...I hate going to weddings where they drag you out there...I'm not doing it to my guests...I think alot of people (our single friends) will aprreciate it...

I've always hated it and I don't want my FH's hand up my dress in front of my dad.

OMG defiantely another reason why I don't like it...my 90 year old 'nonna' would be shaking her head in disapproval from the table

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

Not doing the bo-k toss, garter toss or anniversary dance. I will instead present my mom with the bo-k.

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

Of course, it's tradition. That is one of the best parts of weddings.

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

fh and I are doing the garter thing for sure, but I don't think we are going to force others to do it....I am going to try to think of something to do with the 'winners' so they are not put on the spot....but the groom going after the garter is fun and flirty....we'll see.

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

I am giving my bo-k to the longest married couple. I am not doing the garter because I think it's tacky.

We're not doing either. Instead, we are going to have another dance alone.

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

I'm not doing it. I got a little bit of slack from my some of my friends but I don't care. It your wedding I think you should do what you want to do.

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

I am not doing it either! I never felt comfotable at weddings when it was done so for me it doesn't make sense to do it. I am thinking about doing the anniversary dance, my Aunt did it at her wedding & it was really sweet to see all the married couples and how long they have been married for!

Re: Bouqet/Garter Toss

I am not doing it. The garter I am especially not crazy about. I am not even going to do a formal cake cutting! Just take pics with the cake with the photographer.
