After the bouquet toss we kept the tradition train rolling and geared up for the dreaded garter toss. I say dreaded as during the planning this was one of those rituals that I really could have done without. I mean, how bizarre is it to have your new husband all up in your business in front of your grandparents?! Not exactly demure. That said, Mr. L is all about rites of passage such as this and since I put the big ’ol kibosh on the money dance, I figured I’d let him have this one :).

I honestly have no idea what song played while we went about our garter retrieving and throwing business. I doubt anyone else who was present does either…

So. Embarrassed. I’m surprised I’m not eleventy-million shades of red in these pics.

You will note that this garter was a SUPER cheapy $1 item that I picked up at Walmart (I think…) as I wasn’t planning on throwing my gorge Italian silk one (that didn’t end up getting used at all. Le sigh.).

And the lucky winner was?

My darling friend who I actually used to nanny for. Yeah, not awkward at all.
