I find it odd that the groom doesn't take offense when someone grabs the garter (that was situated around the bride's upper thigh a mere moment ago), waves it in the air (like he just don't care) and puts it between his teeth, or around his head. Somehow, find it disrespectful. Ah, and don’t forget the garter fling.

I find the tradition degrading and outdated. Last summer I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid for the first time and when it came to that part of the evening I didn't want to participate in the toss but didn't want to come across as being a 'party-pooper.' So I stood among the ladies who really, really wanted to catch that bouquet while I just thought about the next drink I would get at the bar. But this wedding wikis thing is interesting. I see how it could be used as a fun way to include the guests in some decisions like main course or drinks. I think weddings are overrated and most brides are psycho (my sociology background tells me because women are socialized to be that way from day one) so they would likely ignore the results because they know best. If I ever get married I would probably use something like that. Bonnie, you made me laugh in your description of the bouquet toss. I find the tradition degrading and outdated.
