Anyone not doing the garter thing??

Original post by cmjd

I dont want to do this tradition at the wedding. Is that weird? Do most people do it?

Re: Anyone not doing the garter thing??

Since we are a little older, and most of our friends and family are married ... many with children .... we wouldn't have had many people to participate in the tossing part of things.

DH did remove the garter from my leg, and it was funny. We got some great pictures when I surprised him with 4 garters from different sports he loves

After that was done, instead of tossing, we did the Anniversary Elimination Dance ... where the couple married the longest got the 'throw-away bouquet'

It was my Grandparents who won that, so my Grandma got the flowers.

We kept the garters. Grandpa didn't need those!

I am the first of my friends to get married and am relattively young and so are most of my friends and im not doing it. I just cant imagine my dad watching my FH remove the garter... it seems like such an awkward thing to do. Plus, I've been to a TON of FH's friends weddings in the past few years and not one person has done it.

I'm not doing it. I know my friends hate standing up for the boquet toss too...so we just took it out.

I'm not. I think it is cheap and classless. We're doing the anniversary dance instead of the BOK and garter toss.

I am going to wear one (as my something blue), but only for FH. I'm trying to find a nice Mets one or a Boston University one (FH is an alum)



WOW i guess i am cheap and classless along with how many other brides on this board?

I dont care if people dont want to do it, hey its their own thing and people should do what makes them feel comfortable but to say its cheap and classless THank you


Meh, I wouldn't take it to heart. I'm not doing it but I AM cheap and classless.

I have never been to a wedding that did it and I have been a bridesmaid 8 times not to mention the 50 other weddings I have been to. I am definitely not doing it.

Not doing it.

But then I wasn't going to do the whole bridesmaids thing, and now they've talked me into it.

Actaully, no they will never talk me into it, the thought of FH going up my dress in front of my grandparents freaks me out enough.

Re: Anyone not doing the garter thing??

While I admit that I am cheap and classless...I will have squirrels, icicle light and barefoot bridesmaids at my wedding

I am NOT going to do the bouquet and garter toss....most of my friends are paired off and I would rather take that time and DANCE!

But I am totally cheap and classless!

I am wearing one but not having FH take it off. He's too shy for that!

If other people want to do it, it's fine, but for me, it makes me feel cheap and classless.

Sorry if I offended, but that's just how I feel. I have no problem speaking my mind on here, which is why I said it. Whatever.
