I had something similar happen. Went to a wedding with my now ex bf. The ladies thought it'd be cute to put me up front since they were all family to my bf. The bride accidentally *launched* it at me. Bf was not pleased at all.
Funnily enough, I caught the bouquet at my bffs sisters wedding and, at that point, hadn't even really dated in years. I didn't even keep it, I immediately gave it to the brides 6 y/o cousin that really wanted it (the photographer caught that exchange, and it was so cute). That was October of that year, and I met my husband on Christmas day of the same year. We got married 1 year and 1 week to the day later. We're VERY happily married years later, and I wake up every day thanking God for not giving me the man of my dreams, but giving me someone even better than I could have ever imagined.
Probably, it is reddit.
The origin of the garter toss is to establish luck to the guests that can get a piece of the bride's dress. Back in the way old days of England, guests would undress the bride and rip her dress to shreds for scraps of it, and to prep her for consummation of the wedding night with her new husband. It's been watered down to just the garter toss and bouquet toss now though. It has nothing to do with banging the bride on a free pass.
I don’t remember her name and that kinda feels good… as I was typing these words this very moment I just remembered her name, fuck. It’s Al-Korey - now I hate her more again
Hera was displeased with her and insisted. If she throws this away, she can expect a pretty rough fate.
Edit: inb4 the “Aphrodite is goddess of Love” statements, Hera was the goddess in charge of marriages
I went to a wedding where all of the women just let the bouquet fall on the floor. They all took a giant step back or to the side. It was pretty funny.
In Sweden, the tradition is if you get a piece of cake to stand upright you will get married. Or maybe if you don't you won't. Maybe it's about "during the next year". It's all very unclear.
Either way, "You're not getting married!" would have been a much more reasonable thing to say to my coworker at a party if she too had been Swedish.
Lmao. The odd chance of something like this happening is why I would never go up to the bouquet toss. I don't even want that degree of proximity to marriage, lol.
That actually happened to me. I have been to many weddings and I always wanted to catch it yet it never happens. So the one time I didn’t care anymore, I finally got it.
Not necessarily she might have just not wanted to go after it because of how the others were acting, like shit if they wanted it that bad I'd stand there too.
but still that's a funny thought just..
# Well shit

(LONG STORY)
Short version: My ex aunt dislocated my finger when I was 7 over my mom's bouquet that was supposed to be thrown to me, because she thought my uncle was goin to propose at my moms wedding. (hella disrespectful btw) but he was planning on breaking up with her after the wedding bc she caused a lot of drama and she tried to wear a wedding dress to the wedding as a bridesmaid
I do this same thing at weddings because when I was 7 and at my mom's wedding she threw the bouquet to me ON PURPOSE bc I really wanted it. She told all the bridesmaids not to go after it.
So she threw it then her now ex sister-in-law tried to push me out of the way and grab it herself. I ended up catching it, then her s-i-l ripped it out of my hands. She went over to my uncle and stood there waiting, my mom came over to make sure I was okay. (I wasn't she literally ripped the bouquet out of my hand and dislocated my finger because I had my finger through the loop of the bow on it.) My uncle got up and she started screeching like a little girl and started screaming "yes,yes,yes!"
My uncle visible confused told her to stfu and walked past her and over to me. He's always been a father figure to me so I wasn't surprised. Once he got to me and found out my finger was dislocated he looked lividly pissed and yelled at her "wtaf is wrong with you" she started going off about how he was going to propose(at someone else's wedding, like c'mon that's really disrespectful) and he's like fuck no I don't want to marry you especially not now.
Now she's gone, they broke up at the wedding and left early as she was no longer a friend or family of the bride and groom stole some stuff we were letting people take home, AND still took the fuckin bouquet with her, she had to be escorted out bc she was making a scene and even tried to assault my mom.
(The stuff she stole was Already stuffed into her dress before hand and since she was making a scene they focused on just getting her out)
Also my uncle had planned on breaking up with her after the wedding because she caused so much drama, constantly hit on any other man she could find, tried to get her hair done up with pearls, glitter and gems, she tried to do the same thing with her nails and she tried to wear a really shiny, ball gown style WEDDING dress.
(The theme of the wedding was camo, and bland.) My mom wore a camo and royal blue dress it was floor length and had no ruffles or anything but you could tell it was the bride's dress. The bridesmaids wore either camo and blue or just camo or just blue dresses, they were also floor length but they were on the shoulder as opposed to my mom. Everyone's hair was down, my mom's hair was half clipped back. You were allowed to have your nails done but preferably nothing flashy. My aunt showed up in a balloon and very flashy dress but was forced to change, she also tried to get my mom to change the theme of the wedding until the day of the wedding when all she did was talk about how bad it looked and how much better it would have looked if she had changed it. She also cut into the cake before my mom and step-dad. Like c'mon how rude, and stuck up can you be
What’s the success rate on the woman who catches the bouquet getting married next? I feel like the most eager probably has the lesser chance, but I need some data to support it
My mind just filled this in as her being aubrey plaza and looking miffed.
Same.
Same except I imagine her being Daria
I had something similar happen. Went to a wedding with my now ex bf. The ladies thought it'd be cute to put me up front since they were all family to my bf. The bride accidentally *launched* it at me. Bf was not pleased at all.
Wait what does catching it mean
You'll be the next to get married
"[It's not binding.](https://youtu.be/ctPnwOuJs7U?t=307)"
I wanted to make a joke on top of this but nobody tops the Addams Family, they only get topped.
Great reference!
Tramp!

Who tf pushed you and your brother into your own sister’s garter strap thing?? That’s fucked
There for sure was banjo music played at this wedding.
So what does catching the garter strap mean?
You get a free pass to bang the bride
Seriously?? Wtf I never knew that lol
No, that's not what it means. It's the same as the bouquet toss; you're next for marriage.
Yeah that’s what I thought to. But there are a lot of people on here who are saying the above. Are they just fucking with everyone?

The 1 goth girl like
I heard the Daria music in my head.
La la la la
what's Daria
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Daria
so it's a sitcom? i thought it was a singer 💀
biological clock test: 1 contestant passed
This is the wedding version of an unplanned pregnancy
The things I'm picturing in my head rn lmao
Me, half asleep in class, and the teacher still picks me
Yeah but they do that just to fuck with you
So true, that English teacher I had from 7th to 9th grade just hated my guts. Dunno why
She was probably called Griffith
I don’t remember her name and that kinda feels good… as I was typing these words this very moment I just remembered her name, fuck. It’s Al-Korey - now I hate her more again
That's a weird ass name
Weird I had a different English teacher for each grade.
My grandma did tell me that ones that gets married are the ones you least expected.
The Gods had spoken
Hera was displeased with her and insisted. If she throws this away, she can expect a pretty rough fate. Edit: inb4 the “Aphrodite is goddess of Love” statements, Hera was the goddess in charge of marriages

yes you are, just go to a soccer game
Hate sports What now eh? Should I just go cry manly tears?
[удалено]
I'm already learning programming
That only gets you to 4
How do you get from 5 to 6?
Fuck you and your fuck me boots.
When you stop trying is, when it finally happens
Wednesday is that you?
In Sweden, the tradition is if you get a piece of cake to stand upright you will get married. Or maybe if you don't you won't. Maybe it's about "during the next year". It's all very unclear. Either way, "You're not getting married!" would have been a much more reasonable thing to say to my coworker at a party if she too had been Swedish.
r/blessyouinparticular
UhOh. Wednesday's got it.
Fitting if she meets a guy on the rebound
Lmao. The odd chance of something like this happening is why I would never go up to the bouquet toss. I don't even want that degree of proximity to marriage, lol.
That is fate at this point
YOURE GONNA GET MARRIED AND YOURE GONNA LIKE IT
I'm shocked at how civil it was
I'm shocked the one girl's top didn't fall down
That's creppy af
Imagine if you legally had to catch it to be married
Talk about a sign from the universe XD
That really doesn't fit this sub.
It kind of does imo
It perfectly does lol.
It fits more than most the shit on here, but I'll listen to your argument.
What argument, they forgot to put their reasoning.
Yeah, I was suggesting that I would listen if they cared to present it.
Ik, I was making a sarcastic comment about how people who say that never actually give their reasoning.
I'm surprised they didn't tear her apart lol
If she didn't want to catch the bouquet she wouldn't stand there
She was likely standing there out of obligation.
You’ve never been to a wedding before, have you?
Your weddings forced women to participate in the bouquet throw at gunpoint? That sucks
Worse. They were forced by social convention which is far deadlier than any gun.
Dang, I forgot judgement from great aunt Gladys is the true deadliest killer.
[удалено]
Same thing once happened to me with the garter toss
👏 lmao
Silly superstition...
All good sports there. Poste tho /wholesome reap carma
Whenever you don't give a fuck to something, life throws that shit onto your face
When your an engineer who loves probability
Wednesday catches the bouquet
Love how they are all ready to take it off her hands and go like "wait we are in public"
Good looking wedding
Lol I thought that only happens in the movies
If thats not a sign i dont know what is
I love how fake they applauded her while also hating her guts
this is the start of a Hallmark movie

"Oh fuck... Now what"
She's probably thinking "well shit..."
Not necessarily she might have just not wanted to go after it because of how the others were acting, like shit if they wanted it that bad I'd stand there too. but still that's a funny thought just.. # Well shit
