OK so every knows the whole single girls catch the bouquet and signle guys catch the garter game at weddings right?
Well B and I were at his niece's wedding this weekend. He went out for a smoke and as I finished getting him another drink, the DJ calls for the single girls to gather around. So next thing I know I'm being "highly encourage" (short of being thrown out there in the single girl crowd) to join the gathering. I really don't like doing the catching of the bouqet thing only because 9 out of 10 times I'm the tallest girl in the group. It's easy: All I do is stand in the front, wave my monkey arms and the bouquet lands in them. Well this time I went to the side, a little back to avoid catching it. Next thing I know the bouquet is coming straight towards me, so instead of "catching it" I try to block it, hoping it bounces off my hands into some awaiting-to-be-married single girl. Nope. No one else touched it. So I did my single/non-married girl duty and did the garter thing with the guy:
The DJ whips out the chair for me, in which I plant one leg on the chair and while looking at the poor sap, snap my fingers and point down at my leg. Meanwhile B apparently walks in at that point and was asking "What the hell is my girlfriend doing?!" The rest is history from there.
The only thing B was irritated about was that we were suppose to "tag team" something like this. I.e. we agree if I catch the bouquet then he has to catch the garter. First of all, I wasn't aware of any such silent agreement (I was very single the last time I participated in the bouquet toss) and secondly, don't leave me for a cigerette!!!
Do you and your others tag team it????
