Sample Photograph taken from the Gow Wedding. This was a military wedding held in Visalia California.
I think that it is time that we start reviewing some of the traditions that are kept on wedding days, after review of all the traditions that people participate in on their wedding days I have come to find that weddings are tradition filled, even some of the small things that you wouldn’t think about have their basis in long standing wedding traditions.
Though it may be thought that tossing the garter is something new to the wedding tradition folklore it actually has is basis In the 14th century. It was customary in the 14th century for the bride to toss her garter to the men, but sometimes the men got too drunk, and would become impatient and try to take the garter off her ahead of time. (Eventually the groom got into the act and saved his bride from the unruly mob‚Äö?Ѭ?we hope). All the same, it got to less trouble for her to toss her bridal bouquet instead.
