I have 2 bouquet stories. Back in December of 2006 DH and I went to the wedding of a close friend of his. I caught the bouquet and he caught the garter! there was like 30 gilrs competing with me for it!! It was so funny because we had just moved in together and started talking about the future. 9 months later we were engaged.

At our wedding a few weeks ago it was a bit differant. We are one of the last couples in our group to marry and there were only 3 single girls and 2 or 3 single guys there. 2 of the girls had NO intrest in catching the bouquet at all, haha. The one did catch it happens to be the girlfriend of the guy who cought the garter at our wedding!


I MARRY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE OCTOBER 4TH 2008!!

That's kind of a bummer-nobody wanting the garter. Marriage is awesome! They're all chickens!

linda jo that is so true...they are all chickens...at least the single guys we have left...all afraid of commitment...i told them they were all chickens...they want to hold onto their "playa" status till they find that girl that will just worship the ground they walk on...blah sticking finger down throat....

 

i was meant for him and he was meant for me :)

Norma (my married friend that caught it) gave my MOH the bouquet.  Anyway my neice's boyfriend caught the garder AIR BORNE. Then the DJ makes a call out for the 2 people..Now I didn't know if you caught the garder you have to put it on the girl who caught the bouquet...and the higher you put it on her leg the longer the marriage will last. WELL.. now, my niece was NOT happy and niether was my MOH(BFF). So there they were on stage and he stood there for a second and turned to my neice instead..and put it on her leg so damn high you would have thought it was a G-String..lol.  It was funny..but I really didn't like the idea of them having to do that..if we had known of it we would have told the DJ to leave that out.

The date of one of our friends. They won't be getting married anytime soon. She is 24/25 he is 21/22. They've been together for about 4 years. They are living in his bedroom at his parents' house. Neither one of them is still in school. It's really weird.

toss

catch

 

I forgot my garter, so we used a rubber band with feathers tied to it (my cousin's last minute bright idea) Well, when DH went to throw it, it came apart and didn't go very far. I threw the underware the DH had "pulled out of my skirt" to the boys at the same time. They didn't travel very far either. So this little boy swooped in and grabbed them both.

toss

catch

 

There were not many girls and to be honest very few (I'm thinking 3-4) actually wanted to catch it. The boys on the other hand, came out in droves and were fighting for it. Too funny.

I'm not sure if I have any pics loaded up of mine.  Photographer got some good ones, but i only have the hard copies in my album.  I was really aiming for my MOH, because I knew how badly she wanted it... but the bouquet actually hit the ceiling fan and veered off course!!  LOL.  One of my brother's friends' girlfriends caught it.

Garter toss-- I have a great series of pictures from the photographer where you see my brother and his two friends, with all of their arms up in the air, and gradually coming down trying to wrestle it from each other.  One of the friends got it, but not the same one whose GF got the bouquet.

I love at that big ass panty that went flying. That cracks me up everytime I see the picture of the kid holding it up.

I didn't toss my bouquet. I made a presentation of it to my niece who had eloped the Monday before our wedding. She did all the decorations for the wedding and is like my first daughter to me. She provided a week of drama before the wedding also by running off and eloping (in NYC). My sister was beside herself.

We didn't do the garter either- (I know bah humbug)- but my dh took it off me while we were dancing. lol. No pics, but I think it's on video) 

Anyway, here is our pic
