This past weekend kicked off the 2010 Wedding Season in which those of use in our twenties and early thirties spend at least one weekend per month from March to June and then September to October at some type of wedding activity for a friend or family member.

We have all participated in some odd wedding moments. The wedding I attended this past weekend was fun because the bride and groom are both artists. We made paper airplanes out of scrapbook paper to throw at the couple as they left the church, and they had an ice cream sundae bar in lieu of cake. Both of those were cool and unique.

This morning, a good friend of mine was discussing some wedding plans via gchat and shared a tradition that her fiance mentioned. At most weddings he has attended, the winner of the garter toss places the garter on the winner of the bouquet toss. Having only attended weddings in the South, this was a new one to me.

Intrigued, I posted the question on Twitter and got a few replies:

-I have seen that all too often..and it is…once it happened to be a brother and sister…

-Yep. Although I didn’t do it when I caught the garter at my brother’s wedding. The bouquet catcher was 8 years old.

-Yes-last Nov & the groomsmen were suppose to tell the guy how high to put the garter on the girls thigh. It was different.

As someone who finds the garter toss tacky, this is just well…creepy.

Hence, my Friday afternoon question: what strange wedding traditions have you seen?
