How weird is this?

A friend of mine (a guy) just told me that his mother is going to lend his fiance her garter from her wedding for thier wedding. And they are doing to garter tradition. So he is going to be taking his mother's garter off his bride at the wedding.

He says its a really nice garter and its sentimental, but I think of the garter tradition as a sexy thing. And it would skeeve me out to be wearing my FMIL's anything at the wedding!

JMO -- what do you think?

I guess she couldn't find something else for her something borrowed?

Yeah I'd have to say that I wouldn't be too keen on wearing someone else's garter either.

Wait, the guy is going to take the garter off his MOM?!?!?!

Uhhh....even if the garter thing was not perceived as a sexy moment, than this is still weird, and totally inappropriate.

Maybe it's cultural? Where are they from?

Just so we're clear -- he's taking the garter off his BRIDE, but the garter originally belonged to his mom.

In any case -- still creeped out.

But it makes me think what sort of 'borrowed' things also fall under the inappropriate category.

I think this is in the same catagory as borrowing your FMIL wedding stockings

There is no way on earth that a guy using his mom's garter is anything but creepy.

samnjenna and I are longtime friends and colleagues - Jenna, the groom is who I think it is, right?

Re: How weird is this?

takeoutcook -- yes, it is -- if you ask me his mother is WAY too involved in his wedding!

Re: How weird is this?

okay, a lot less gross now that i know he is not taking it off of his mom in front of everyone!

Weird, but not vomitous...
