Garters!!! Oh! I caught 7 garters at weddings throughout my life from 15 till a few years ago. I just got married August 06 and hey, I am unoffically world's record holder according to Guiness(sp) Book of World's Records. I talked with them. A lady has a record of 9 boquets she caught and listed. I had difficulty to record since I did not get pictures and letters from all brides and grooms to show proof I caught them but I have hundreds of witnesses. Oldest garter I have is the first one I caught at age 15--it was first used in 1950s by the bride's mother. It was passed down. I did not have garter throwing at our wedding because practically everyone is married and only one single male... my good friend. Oh well! It was small wedding though. Beautiful! Tropical themed with bamboo tiki torch light up, sunset... bonfire, buffet that we made. I personally made pineapple chicken. Its a polyasian styled meal. I wore guayabera shirt, black pants.. my bride who was married before--wore nice outdoors simple wedding dress. Beautiful!! I cried when she came up to be given away to me by her adult son.
Hey, guess what! It was raining much during that week of August until friday August 11th. We prayed for sun and we sure got a beautiful hot sunny day! So greeny!!! Yeah! The wedding was in the backyard of my sister's house on her farm. She has a pond with 40 acres of forest beyond the backyard.
I think garters should be plain. Now what I saw, oh come on. That is silly!
I think Angel should have that fluffy feathered garter. Its perfect for that screenname, angel! Hee hee!
