Any ideas instead of throwing your BOK???

I have no single women at my wedding. The only single people are 16 years old. I would like to do something like throwing my BOK. What else can I do????

I'm in a similiar situation...dont really have any single women or men (for the garter toss)

ETA: One bride once said (in a past post) to give ur bok to someone who you cherish dearly...like to ur MOH.

I heard of some people dedicating their bok to someones special and presenting it to them in lieu of the toss..and forgoing garter toss is common as well..

some people do the anniversary dance....

you invite all couples onto the dance floor and the dj plays songs.... and he asks people who have been married for 1 year to sit down... 2 years... etc... until you find the couple that has been married the longest -- then you ask them for a few words of advice for the newlyweds, and hand them your bok

This is what I did. It was actually really beautiful and I was so amazed how many couples in our families were married 25+ years. My throwaway bo-k wound up going to my dear aunt and uncle married 62 years. It was a really special way for us to commemorate their commitment and marriage to each other. My uncle was brought to tears!
