I was terrified that they were going to make the guy who caught the garter put it on me. Where'd that tradition come from?kirafikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758110018937259602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-6450294043480398132009-11-06T18:22:14.493-05:002009-11-06T18:22:14.493-05:00Yeah, we're at the same standoff.

(I'm portuguese, so excuse my english mistakes...)<br />Apart from that, let's say, weird image of the groom diving under the dress, (and let me make a statement here: that would just be enought for me not wanting it in my wedding) there's another issue for me. So... by definition, they are suposed to be used to hold up stockings, right?? So, if I'm not wearing stockings, what's the point? (going for sandals with heel... don't you just hate the toe showing out from a shoe covered in stocking?)<br />I know, I know, they are cute... but not THAT cute.Inês Seabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260649207350235189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-1298072637004256002009-11-06T14:18:51.416-05:002009-11-06T14:18:51.416-05:00hi there! thanks so much for posting about my coll...hi there! thanks so much for posting about my collection of eco-friendly garters! i'm so honored! <br /><br />i'm with you on the garter tradition - there are lots of different opinions about it. you just have to do what works for you and your groom!! it is your day, you can do whatever you want! <br /><br />if you want more advice on the garter, check out my garter 101 series. i talk about all kind of things like the history of the garter and how to make the toss (or not) more fun for everyone. check it out http://juliannesmith.wordpress.com/tag/garter101 <br /><br />thanks again! happy wedding to you!julianne smith (@gartergirl)http://juliannesmith.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-76076782818452460742009-11-06T12:17:38.545-05:002009-11-06T12:17:38.545-05:00garters are fine and good, but it's weird at a...garters are fine and good, but it's weird at a wedding. we should look that up and see how it got started. <br />I'm enjoying your ideas on weddings. i think i want to be a mountain bride too. :)i102flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644436533442112360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-43927812101327116652009-11-06T10:45:31.918-05:002009-11-06T10:45:31.918-05:00The Garter Girl certainly does beautiful work.

I think it's a terribly awkward tradition. That part of the reception is usually when I sneak off to "use the bathroom" so I can miss it. It's not happening for us either.Mintanoreply@blogger.com
