Groom Goes Wild with Garter
At the reception, a husband crouches before his wife, teeth playfully tugging at the garter belt snug around her leg. Friends circle them, cheering on this risqué ritual. Once a functional piece to hold up stockings, the garter belt symbolizes good fortune.
In this tradition, the groom removes it and tosses it to the bachelors, mirroring the bouquet toss. It’s said to bring luck and the next walk down the aisle to the catcher. The atmosphere is electric with laughter and hoots, a lively chapter in their special day, as the garter slips away to spin the wheel of fortune.
