The Garter Incident

February 25th, 2008 @ 4:30 pm by Mrs. Gardenia

Recently, I blogged about the plot that our groomsmen had planned for Mr. Gardenia during his garter toss. It was definitely a memorable moment for all since it had everyone up their seats and just watching for that initial shocked look in Mr. Gardenia’s eyes. It’d be safe to say that Mr. Gardenia is the shy one – the introvert in our relationship - which is why he did not look forward to being the newlyweds, because it meant being the center of attention. With that said, his groomsmen knew that they had to do something hilarious just to get him comfortable during the garter toss.

Here’s the setup. I sat down after my bouquet toss and Mr. Gardenia got ready to search for the garter. Little did he know that one of our groomsmen came with one of the bridesmaid’s pashmina to use as a blind fold. Once Mr. Gardenia was blind folded, I switched seats with one of our other groomsmen (who apparently has smooth legs, maybe smoother than mine) and moved my gown closer to GM so that Mr. Gardenia wouldn’t get suspicious. I think Mr. Gardenia got up to mid-thigh when they finally told him to take off his blind fold, and as you can see from his reaction – it’s PRICELESS.

By the way, our groomsmen that played bride for the garter toss also caught the garter when Mr. Gardenia finally got it from me. Are you doing something unexpected like this for your wedding?
