My FI and I are talking about the bouquet/garter toss. He is very traditional and has never even considered that they wouldn't be part of the reception. I, however, think they're awful for many reasons.
So, tell me your stories. He needs to think about it, so maybe your wisdom will help us come to a decision.
Did you do a garter/bouquet toss? How did it go?
Any horror stories from weddings you've attended?
Did you decide to do something to replace this tradition?
