Lace Garments And Garters

November 16th, 2008

Why are there tons of of rules about the wearing of Lace Garters as a bride on our wedding day.I am not too sure when the tradition first began but I believe it started in the Fourteenth Century. The bride would wear 2 garters, both at the top of the right leg. The first was as a keepsake, and the other was thrown by the groom to the single guys in the room. Rather like the bride tossing the bouquet to the single ladies.The single fella, then puts the garter round the thigh of the single female who caught the bouquet.NB – He used to have take it off with his teeth!Fascintating
