Tossing the Garter


Tossing the Garter, this tradition traces back more than 500 years to England and a ritual called "flinging the stocking". Today the groom usually removes the garter from the brides leg and tosses it to the unmarried men in attendance.

Most of the weddings today skip both the bouquet and garter toss. Some couples feel it is highlighting that their friends are not married, and would prefer to not make them feel uncomfortable regarding these traditions.
