Do you have to do the 'garter' thing?

hi,

I really really wanna do the bouquet toss but do you have to do the garter as well? My fiance is shy I dont think he will want to do that..Can it be one without the other?

This is in lieu of the bo-k toss/garter. The DJ/band calls all married couples out onto the floor & starts a song, he keeps saying couples that were married less than one year sit down,couples less than 5 years....the longest married couple you give your bo-k to. It's really sweet.

We did it but you don't have to do it!! Everyone does the anniversary dance now a days. I don't even go up anymore because I know in 2 seconds I will have to sit down

Maybe you can think of something different to do.

It's your day - do whatever make you happiest! (We didn't do the garter thing - well, my DH wanted to, but I vetoed it, )

No, you don't 'have' to do it. We aren't doing the garter or bouquet toss. I always hated getting dragged up there to do it when I was single. Plus we are having very few single people at my wedding.
