Long story short that's actually long no one in my family has ever been married. Family's full of old school single black women and single mothers so my family is taking this wedding as a big deal it's going to be huge, which is good because my wedding is going to be very memorable.
But because no one in my family has ever been married or really want to be married, I didn't see a point I'm doing a bouquet toss but they all insisted because they just wanted to do it for the fun not really for the message,so because of that I'll do the bouquet toss but I wanted to make it clear to them to tell all the girls they do not HAVE to. I don't like putting people on the spot that are single to be pressured to do this I'm just doing it for fun.
As for the garter toss that's something else... Maybe it's because of the internet's influence on me ,but a lot of videos I see of that are of the guys running away from it thinking it's funny because you know guys don't want to get married cuz I think it's a trap... I really don't find that funny.
Many guys especially if they're single never think of marriage, a man will only think of marriage if he's in a really deep committed relationship with a woman he truly loves but if you're not in that position then of course you're not going to be thinking of getting married, hell I wasn't thinking of getting married only until me and my fiance were together for like 6 years
Because of this I told my family I didn't want to do the to toss and they're trying to pressure me to do it because it's "tradition". I really don't want to do that and have it either fall to the floor or have guys jokingly run away from it. I don't want to have the internet's influence on me change that so I want to know everyone else's opinion, if you did a garter toss how did the guys react? I need some real word answers.
