Are you going to toss the garter at your wedding reception or did this tradition not make the cut? Will you be saying “I do” or “I definitely don’t” to the garter toss?

    I think that's fair, Natalie!! Would you replace it with something else if your FH wanted to?

    Lol, that's funny, Kayla!! Does your FS know that the best man is taking your place or is that going to be a surprise for him?

    If he wanted to, but so far, I’m having a hard time getting him to care about anything wedding related lol. I don’t think we’ll replace it or the bouquet toss with anything. We’re just trying to spend more time with our families

    Yeah we talked on the phone the other night (he’s working out of town right now) and he’s asked if I would be mad if he iced me at the alter I told him I was already planning on icing him😂

    The idea of my dad watching my husband dig under my dress, makes me want to vomit.

    Skipping this! It's gross and awkward.

    We ditched the garter toss. The night flew by and we were so glad we ditched this idea. We got to spend time on much more important things to us.

    I have hinted at it but he insists he "knows the feeling of my legs"

    Ditching for sure!!! I hate being in the spotlight so the whole day is going to be awkward. We aren't doing the bouquet toss either because my bouquet will that thistle in it and that could hurt someone!

    That's totally cool, Felicity!! Do you plan on replacing them with another traditional like an anniversary dance or are you going to let the party go on?

    Nope I told all the single men in the wedding party they have to participate... but again it is simple for the laughs and memories.... people take so many things in life too serious... just laugh
