A Bouquet Toss Alternative I Don’t Recommend

Plenty of brides are opting out of the traditional bouquet and garter tosses these days. Others toss a bouquet and dispense with anything having to do with a garter. The most common reason seems to be an unwillingness to embarrass guests who may feel pressured into participating, or horrified by the thought of  someone they may not know pushing a garter up their leg. This isn’t always fun, and sometimes guests’ hesitance to take part makes it difficult for a DJ/emcee to get people out of their seats for it. And let’s face it, some folks question the tastefulness of a groom putting his head up a bride’s gown to pull off undergarments in public.

With that in mind, some wedding planner has managed to find an even more tasteless replacement. The quote below is from the Wedding Wire site:

One of my couples didnt do a toss they played a guessing game the bride was blind folded and she had to choose her new hubby by squeezing his butt…it was hilarious..the bridesmaids and the groomsmen participated (so it wouldnt be weird) she then had to narrow the pick down until she got to whom ever she thought was her grooom…FYI..she did pick her GROOM.;)

I especially like “bridesmaids and the groomsmen participated so it wouldn’t be weird”.

Won’t that look cute in the wedding video you watch with your kids 15 years from now…
