Is it me or is there tons of of rules about the wearing of Lace Garters as a bride on our wedding day.I am not 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 chaps in the room. The same as the bride hurling the bouquet to the single ladies.The single guy, 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!Very Interesting
