Bad Boys, Bad BoysThe Garter Toss. Only the most awkward, funny, yet essential part of the wedding. The thing about Garter Toss is that there are no rules applied to it. But one thing about it is that it is always accompanied by one or a mix of garter toss songs. This is why we comprised a list of 60 of the wildest garter toss songs just for you.
What is A Garter Toss?
Picture this, it’s like the bride throwing a bouquet to her girls at the wedding, the girl that catches the bouquet of flowers is going to be the next one in line for marriage. Except a garter toss is for guys, it’s basically when the groom goes in and gets the bride’s lingerie from underneath her gown, this can be done through his teeth or his hands. The only thing that differentiates a garter toss from a bouquet throwing is the fact that it's the groom’s decision if he wants to toss the lingerie for someone else to catch or keep to himself. The toss usually occurs after the bouquet toss.
When did the Garter Toss Originate
Believe it or not, the garter toss is actually an old tradition that dates back to the 14th century in England and France. During that time, the garter toss was different than how most weddings have it today. Back then, the guests would be anxious to charge at the wife, and basically tear her dress apart for good luck. Fortunately things have changed overtime, and the garter toss is now a more ‘intimate’ moment between the groom and his spouse.
