bo-k toss

What are your thoughts?
I am opt-ing not to do this and people are surprised. I simply don't have many 'single' friends or family and feel that this will be an weird moment.

Re: bo-k toss

I did, I had a bunch of single people. I like the traditional embarassing stuff..makes for great video footage....

Re: bo-k toss

I'm not 100% sure - but I may do the anniversary dance and give my bo-k to the winning couple.

Re: bo-k toss

I was not going to do this, but my family insisted. They seem to feel that people look forward to this. So, its in.

Re: bo-k toss

There's no hard and fast rule that you have to toss it to just the single women.

Depending on how many single guests we're having, we're doing the bo-k and garter toss. If we don't have enough, we're just considering it a toss for good luck, this way anyone can come up and do the catching.

Re: bo-k toss

I didn't and my single friends were disappointed..... We did an anniversary dance and gave the bo-k to the couple married the longest instead.

Re: bo-k toss

I'm not. I always ran in the bathroom when the bo-k toss
was going on. I'm giving my bo-k to my mother instead.

What is the anniversary dance?

Re: bo-k toss

We did the anniversary dance and gave the winning couple a real bouquet of white roses- the memory will forever hold in our hearts-

my wedding was in April and the winning couple my stepgrandparents married 61 yrs-won and my poppop passed away 3 weeks ago.

I am sooo happy I did that dance instead!!!!

Re: bo-k toss

I am not doing the toss. I am going to give the bouquet to my FH's grandma in honor of their marriage (grandparents).

Like I said before we also did the anniversay dance but my Pop Pop was too sick to come to the wedding, it is so special that you have that memory of them

Re: bo-k toss

I will not be doing a BoK toss. My mom is upset about it but OH WELL. I will, instead, be having all married couples dance and having the longest married couple get the BoK

The MC asks them to leave the dance floor by year (all people married 5 years of less leave the dance floor....10 years of less....15 years of less....20....etc...)

I was going to do the bo-k toss, but I decided to give it to the couple who has been married the longest.

Re: bo-k toss

I think my single friends would not get up for the toss and my 12 year old niece would end up catching it.

Hmmm. I caught the bouquet at BOTH of my brother's weddings

Re: bo-k toss

i am not doing one. i agree i do not have enough single gals to to it. i have seen people ask all married couple on the dance floor to dance and the dj asks the couple who have been married 1 year to step off, then 5 years, then 10 and so on till the couple who has been married the longests is standing and they get the bo-k
