    the groom is supposed to remove the garter with his teeth! lol. then the best man has to put the garter belt onto the lady who caught your bouquet.

    traditionally garters are to hold your stockings up I think. Mine won't be getting removed since my wedding will be mostly family and wouldnt feel appropriate lol

    A garter is the same as a bouquet. The tradition is all the single men stand in a group then the groom removes the garter with his teeth then throws it then whoever catches it is suppose to go on a date with the single girl who caught the bouquet xx

    I was going to wear seemless stockings with my peep toes - I don't think people will notice really! Not keen on the taking off of the gater with teeth - def sounds like the need for hairspray on stockings! I thought it was to cover the something blue bit! Just shows what I still don't know! x

    It's right what they say
    "The course of true love never runs smoothly"
    But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
    much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D
