It’s Monday and what better way to start the week off than a fun fact about weddings? In most weddings the garter is tossed, but most bride and grooms take part in this tradition with out knowing where it comes from. The garter toss dates all the way back to the 1500s in France. Originally friends and family would take the garter from the bridal chambers to prove the wedding had been consummated with an item of the brides clothing for good luck. During the nineteenth century, more brides and grooms began to drift away from having people come to their room the night of their wedding; that’s when tossing the garter began to evolve at the reception.
