  • Along with music the bride will sit on a chair; lift her dress up just above her knee and the groom will slowly take the garter off her leg. Once the groom has the garter all the single young men stand behind him and the groom throws it out to them. The single young man that catches the garter is suppose to be the one that will be getting married next.

* The tradition at a wedding is all bachelors stand behind the bride and the man that catches the garter will be the next one to get married. Since you are the lucky one it's simply a souvenir and a memory of your friend's wedding. Put it in a drawer for a keepsake.
