According to Bridebox, the garter toss is a tradition that most couple's participate in without knowing it's history and purpose. Story has it that many decades ago, there was a superstition that owning a piece of the brides wedding dress would bring good luck, so guests would attack the bride to rip off a piece of her dress.
