I love when a bride’s wedding day accessories reflect her personality. It’s even more adorable when she sneaks in a little something to reflect her significant other’s personality. And what better place for that than the garter? It’s discreet, intimate, but not any less fun! I thought that my garter would be a good place to do just that.
…because my garter is actually a practical joke. Mr. Lion and I do not have the most serious of relationships. We’re kinda silly together. Exhibit A:
Personal photo: dressing up like cows for free food
Basically, he knew this was coming. So how is my garter a practical joke, you ask? I’ve mentioned in the past that Mr. Lion is a huge Yankees fan, while I’m a huge Red Sox fan. Welllll….
Words cannot express how psyched I am to see the look on his face when he sees this. Don’t worry though; it’s all in good fun. Besides, I’m making it up to him with a Yankees-themed groom’s gift. You’ll see! Stay tuned!
Are you planning any practical/surprise/inside jokes for your SO on your wedding day?
That is amazing! So can’t believe you are going to wear that as a Yankee fan– must be love =)
That’s adorable, and brings a little friendly competition to the bedroom… not a bad idea 
LOL! Thats great! My husband is a Steelers fan, so am I…so I wore a Steelers garter…but the guests who caught it was an Eagles fan…the picture of him with it is so funny!!
Go Sox!!! YAAYYY! I love this idea. Perfect for a Yankees fan.
@Mrs. Thimble: I mean, it never hurts
@D.Marie: Ha! That’s amazing.
you’re a better person than i am… i could never marry a yankees fan! we’d be arguing 162 days a year! that is a spectacular idea for a garter.
I love the idea for a little practical joke surprise on your wedding day! But I have to say it… GO Yankees!
This is so funny and awesome! Mr. Lion will be surprised!
OMG! My FI and I have the same issue with our relationship - it’s the only thing that divides us. He’s so anti-garter toss though… wonder what Red Sox surprise I can throw in for our big day (he’ll be wearing Yankees cuff links that I got him for our first valentines together)…?
I’m going to making a Seattle Seahawks themed garter, because my fiance is a HUGE fan!!! Can’t wait to see the look on his face, and the excitement of the guy who catches this one of a kind piece of sports memorabilia (!) lol
i love it! 
You know how I’ve mentioned that we’re the same (Atlanta citizens with New England roots)? Here’s another one, except it’s the opposite, kinda! I’m a Yankee fan and Mr. Panther’s a Red Sox fan. He’s such a bandwagon jumper! (He’s from southern CT — worst Sox fan ever.) Anyway, that’s such an awesome idea for a garter.
@Miss Panther: I DO remember that! That’s too funny that the similarities extend to baseball! My family always jokes about bandwagon fans…probably because they “suffered through so many tough seasons.” So dramatic
I just made my garter! A gator one!!
And we dress up like cows for free food too!

I say "wicked" and "y’all" in the same sentence and I like to drink sweet tea with my lobster. Mr. Lion and I are both former Floridians now living in Atlanta, which fortunately is still SEC country...Go Gators! We both love baseball, coffee, traveling, cooking, and playing Words with Friends with each other on our iPhones all day long. I’m very passionate about the things and the people I love, and I tend to plan things with all of my heart...our wedding, of course, is no different! Oh, and also Mr. Lion is a first generation American of Cuban descent. I may look more like Lucy than Ricky, but I’m doing my best to incorporate some Latin elements into our vintage-garden-Southern wedding!
