Bouquet Toss...

Are you doing one? What song are you using? I'm trying to do something different from "Single Ladies" so I'm thinking my old fave "Milkshake" by Kelis. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

    I am definitely doing one. Single Ladies has a special meaning for me personally because my FI had the DJ play that song the moment after he proposed. But I do LOVE "Milkshake" the beat is SICK and SEXY {jijiji}

    I plan on doing one and I had the hardest time coming up with a song...so I just decided to do the norm and play "Single Ladies". But now I'm starting to like your "Milkshake" idea!!! Might have to steal it lol!

    I did one to "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child. I liked the part where it says throw your hands up at me lol. I love your "Milkshake" idea. That used to be my song!!!

    I like that song too, Reka! Did you toss it right at that part or did you just let it flow?

    I was thinking about using:
    5 Star Chick Remix (Clean Version) - Yo Gotti, Gucci, Trina, and Nicky Minaj

    But I really like Milkshake too

    I was going to do the norm "Single Ladies"; however I was going to use the reggae remix of Single Ladies!  It's hott! But now that you gals have mentioned "Milkshake"I may have to steal that idea! Lord knows how I used to get down with it on "Milkshake"!

    I used Independent *itches by Kandi Redd(censored) for my bouquet toss. It fits me and my friends that might be a little out there for normal folks lol but it was a HIT for me!!
  • edited December 2011

    I decided not to do Single Ladies bc Ive seen it before. I m using "Get me Bodied extended version" by Beyonce. Its such a ladies anthem and I think itll get all the girls on the floor as we "pat your weave...and do an old school dance" lol
