While this is not a tradition that suits my fancy.. none the less the tossing of the garter remains a favourite ritual at many weddings. Thought you might like to know how it came about… It is an old British ritual called “flinging the stocking”. After the couple was married the guests would rush into the couple’s bedroom and take their stocking, and the first guest to throw the stocking and hit either the bride or groom on the nose was the next to wed.
Glad we have gone away from socks…
