It is said that the man who caught the garter will soon get married and be very happy in marriage. It is also customary for the next dance the man who caught the garter to dance with the woman who caught the bride's bouquet. And during the dance, he slowly put the garter on the girl. The groom may not necessarily throw a garter to his friends, but for example, a flower from the bride's bouquet.

Translated from French, the garter means "popliteal cavity", that is, the elastic band that holds the stocking. It is now in our understanding that the garter is an element of the bride's wedding attire, and earlier garters were used. to support the stockings. This decoration is in the form of an elastic band beautifully decorated with lace, bows, flowers. It is customary to wear a garter on the right leg, slightly above the knee.

Agree, it somehow unfairly turns out ... The bride throws a bouquet to unmarried girls, thereby giving hope to the lucky woman who caught the bouquet for a quick marriage. But what about men? Despite the established public opinion that men are afraid of marriage, many of them are not averse to starting a family and children. So, especially for them, not so long ago, they came up with the tradition of throwing the bride's garter into a crowd of unmarried men.
bridal garter omens and customs
This tradition was not invented by the Slavs, it came to us from the West. Previously, attending a wedding and bringing home at least a small piece of the groom's or bride's clothes meant happiness and prosperity in the house. Therefore, at the wedding, all the guests tried to "snatch" a piece of the newlyweds' attire. Sounds wild, doesn't it? So, in order to save the young from such barbarism, they came up with the idea that the bride's garter brings special well-being. But pretty drunk men constantly tried to pull off the garter from the bride's leg. Then the tradition was modified - only the husband can remove the garter and throw it into the crowd of men, and the one who catches it will be the lucky one who will soon find family happiness. The bride, in turn, in order not to offend women, threw a wedding bouquet.

By the way, in North America, the bride wears even two garters. One is above the knee, and the second is 5-7 centimeters higher than the first. The groom takes off the first one and publicly throws it to unmarried friends, and the second one remains on the bride and is called the “honey” garter. As you may have guessed, the husband removes this very second bandage from his wife in private on their wedding night.
Oddly enough, according to tradition, it is customary to throw the garter before the bride throws her bouquet. But now this is not the point and, as a rule, this action takes place almost at the end of the celebration, after the guests are treated to a cake.

When it's time to throw the garter, take the bride in your arms and sit or place her on a chair. Friends will gather around. Gently lift the skirt and feel for the garter with your hands. Then loosen the elastic band and remove it by slightly lifting and holding the bride's leg. Some prefer to do it with their teeth. But it happens that the bride's dress is too magnificent to easily feel the garter under it, and even more so to remove it with your teeth. In this case (or if the bride feels uncomfortable lifting her skirt in front of the guests), you can ask her to remove the garter herself and give it to you, this is quite normal and correct. Then stand with your back to the waiting men and, like a bride tossing her bouquet, toss the garter. Keep in mind that the garter is very light in weight, so it is advisable to apply force to the throw, otherwise it may fall right next to you.

It is said that the man who caught the garter will soon get married and be very happy in marriage. It is also customary for the next dance the man who caught the garter to dance with the woman who caught the bride's bouquet. And during the dance, he slowly put the garter on the girl. The groom may not necessarily throw a garter to his friends, but for example, a flower from the bride's bouquet.

Tip for girls when choosing a garter: the garter should be in harmony with stockings and shoes in color. As a rule, the garter is white, rarely red. Now there is a large selection of garters. You can decorate it with beads, lace, rhinestones, beads. If your dress is not pure white, but there are other color shades, then you can choose a garter that is also not pure white, but with colored inserts to match the dress.

Wedding garter - where did it come from?

Garter. One of the few details of women's wardrobe that makes men's hearts flutter. The main purpose is to support stockings on women's legs. This exquisite piece of clothing appeared for the first time in France at the end of the 17th century, it was the French women who first thought of tying stockings that were always falling off their feet. In those days, silk ribbons, braid and strips of fabric remaining after sewing served as garters. A garter was tied on a bow on stockings, in the area just above the knee. Some, especially resourceful ladies, sewed impromptu fasteners to the edges of the ribbons, so the garter held more securely and did not fall off when walking.

Women decorated their simple, self-sewn garters by any available means: they sewed on the remnants of lace, miniature strings, and pieces of fabric folded into the shape of a rose. But most often the garters were decorated with embroidery. And not just patterns, but inscriptions and ambiguous phrases. If a man managed to see at least out of the corner of his eye a garter on a lady's leg, he was in for a surprise in the form of embroidered phrases "There is nothing to look for here" or "My heart is hopelessly busy."

The King's mistress as a couturier

In the eighteenth century, the Marquise de Pompadour (mistress of King Louis XV) contributed to the design of the garter. Now it was not just an element of clothing that supported the stockings, it was an independent part of the wardrobe, which had a beautiful, aesthetic appearance. The Marquise de Pompadour ordered her dressmakers to sew amazingly beautiful garters, decorated with rhinestones, beads, sequins, bows, and precious stones. She became the first lady in France who did not hesitate to show her leg with a garter, being surrounded by a male company.

At the end of the 18th century, the dentist-surgeon Martin van Batchell changed the design of garters.

He inserted a copper spring into the thick lining. Garters stopped falling off women's legs, even if they danced for hours at a ball. Garters with springs were not cheap, but the convenience and the guarantee that the stockings would not fall off at the most inopportune moment made beautiful ladies "fall off" for an improved piece of clothing almost a fortune.

With each subsequent century, the garter has become more and more perfect in design, but has never lost its popularity and relevance. In our time, this is already an indispensable element of the bride's wedding wardrobe and an indispensable part of a costume for adults (intimate clothing).
A curious story that marked the beginning of the entry of garters into the men's wardrobe occurred in Calais in 1348. King Edward III danced at a ball with the Countess of Salisbury. He was passionately in love with her and did not give his lady heart a moment's rest. The couple circled in the dance for a long time, until ... the garter fell off the countess's leg right on the floor. Confusion seized the countess, but Edward III saved the day. He picked up the garter, slowly showing it to everyone present at the ball, and put it on his left leg, securing it just above the knee. At the same time, the king uttered the phrase that became catchphrase: "Shame on those who think badly about this!".

So the oldest "Order of the Garter" appeared.

The knights who were part of it wore a blue velvet garter with the emblem of the "Order" on their left leg. The blue ribbon has become a symbol of male nobility and a reminder of the act of the king, which allowed the Countess of Salisbury to emerge with honor from the most ridiculous situation at the ball.

The tradition of throwing away the bride's garter to wedding guests originated in the 19th century. In those distant times, the belief was clearly strengthened that any part of the bride's or groom's clothes taken away from the wedding would bring happiness, money, love and prosperity to the house. Naturally, the guests tried to tear at least a small piece from the veil, the bride's dress, from the groom's camisole. It got to the point of absurdity: by the end of the wedding fun, both the groom and the bride were practically in tatters - each guest considered it his duty to take a "piece of happiness" home.

In order to avoid such a blasphemous attitude towards the outfits of the newlyweds, the young themselves gave small parts of their toilet to the guests. At the end of the wedding, handkerchiefs, small bouquets of flowers, fastened on the groom's buttonhole and decorating the bride's hair, were given to everyone who wished. A garter was also given, taken in public by the groom from the bride's leg.

The ceremony of throwing the garter at the wedding.

The ceremony of throwing the bride's garter by the groom is a rite that jokingly determines which of the unmarried men present at the festive banquet will marry next. Of course, this rite is just a game, not a forecast or a prophecy. But this makes the ceremony of throwing the bride's garter even more fun.

The rite of throwing the bride's garter by the groom, as a rule, is held towards the end of the festive banquet. It is believed that by the time the groom throws the bride's garter, the newlyweds should already cut the wedding cake and treat them to friends and relatives invited to the gala banquet. But the throwing of the bride's bouquet has not happened yet, the bride will throw her wedding bouquet to unmarried guests only after the ceremony of throwing the bride's garter by the groom. This sequence of actions is the traditional sequence for a celebratory banquet. However, you can break it if you see fit, today traditions do not affect us as much as they used to, so there is nothing wrong with breaking the traditional order of actions.
By the way, you should decide whether to carry out the ceremony of throwing the bride's garter by the groom at the festive banquet, together with your chosen one. After all, it is he who will have to remove such an intimate detail of your clothes from you and throw it to your friends. Your beloved man may be against such entertainment. If you are going to arrange such a wedding ceremony at your festive banquet, remember your guests. How will this rather playful wedding ceremony be perceived by most of your guests? Won't they feel offended in better ways? Will this ceremony fit well with the style of your wedding? Will it be appropriate? It is not necessary to carry out the ritual of throwing the bride's garter by the groom in the event that it will not be organically combined with the style of your wedding as a whole.

We've gathered a few thoughts from various resources about traditions, customs, ceremonies, and other "symbolic" activities to entertain the public at a wedding banquet. I share, suddenly someone will like it.

Ignition of the hearth- everyone knows this, probably =) One long candle is lit by the groom's mother, another long candle is lit by the bride's mother, together with the mother's candles they transfer the warmth of their hearth to the young (each to their child, respectively), and the bride and groom light a large beautiful candle with these two candles - your family hearth. Alternatively, you can use not a "big beautiful candle", but a candlestick for a candle-tablet in the form of a house. Very symbolic =) As another option: candles are passed not to a mother-child, but through a long line of guests, so that each guest shares the warmth of his home and kind words / wishes with the young.

sand ceremony: you need colored sand (look at florist shops; if you can’t find it at all, colored semolina will do), two identical small containers and one beautiful container of a slightly larger size (the more original it is, the better; for example, a flat frame with a photo and free space around where you can pour sand; or twisted tubes from a laboratory glass store). Sand of one color is poured into one glass / container and given to the groom, another color - to the bride. To the beautiful music and the words of the presenter, the newlyweds pour their sands into one beautiful container, alternating layers and mixing. And so two different "ingredients" become one.

water ceremony: similar to sand, only water of different colors is taken and mixed not in layers, but in mass, creating a new color. For those who know chemistry, you can try not quite obvious mixtures. Alas, unlike sand, it is difficult to store water for a long time.

Rose/flower ceremony: a simplified version of the ceremony of unity, the bride and groom exchange roses as signs of their love. In Hawaii, they exchange flower wreaths.
Variations: representatives of the families of the bride and groom exchange flowers. Or, after the exchange of roses, they present flowers to their mothers.

wine ceremony: the bride and groom each take a decanter of wine and pour it into one large glass (by the way, it would be symbolic to buy a vase in the form of a glass - a very large one), and drink from there in turn, as if also "connecting". More difficult option: mix a cocktail.

salt ceremony: Indian tradition. The bride takes a handful of salt and passes this handful to the groom, trying not to drop a single grain. And the groom hands it back to her. And so three times. Then the bride conducts the same exchange with the groom's family members. It symbolizes the mixing of the bride's family with the groom's, the exchange of traditions, the warmth of the family, etc. etc. In addition, the bride's ability not to spill salt symbolizes her "disinclination to quarrelsomeness", as well as the fact that she is a good housewife.

Ceremony "three circles": in America it is considered exotic, we have a regular church ceremony. An Eastern European tradition, when the oldest of the family circles the newlyweds three times around the table. A whole circle - a whole family, an inseparable union. In India, newlyweds are circled around the fire 7 times, sealing their union.

Broom Jump Ceremony: In African-American weddings, the roots of the tradition go back to a time when slaves weren't allowed to marry. Jumping over a broom together, the bride and groom, as it were, jump over prohibitions and barriers and move on together through life.

Ceremony with lasso: a purely American ceremony when a skilled person throws a lasso over the bride and groom, tying them together. With beautiful music, touching words, and the right eyeliner, the lasso can be replaced with flower garlands, ribbons, and more.

Persian ceremony: "Sofrey Agt", the groom is waiting for the bride, and a carpet (made of cashmere or silk) is laid in front of him, a mirror of "fate" is placed on the carpet, two candles are placed and "7 elements of different colors" are placed: poppy seed, angelica, black mushroom , salt, frankincense, black tea, wild rice. The elements each have their own meaning, but in general they protect the young from evil spirits. Candles symbolize light, warmth, etc., and also represent the bride and groom and their bright future. But the mirror lies on the floor when the bride approaches the groom. The veil/veil is lowered on her, and when she approaches the carpet, she lifts the veil, and for the first time the groom sees her face in the reflection through the mirror. In general, again, reflection - it protects from evil spirits and from the evil eye. In a simplified version, now in America you can find ceremonies for lighting a hearth on a mirror (they sell special beautiful round silver / metal flat mirrors). It's just beautiful when the candles are reflected, the bunny lights jump around... =)

Veil removal ceremony: at the end of the evening, to touching music, the bride takes off her veil, turning into a wife. Options: 1) the mother-in-law removes the veil, accepting the daughter-in-law into her family, and ties a scarf to her. 2) the mother takes off the veil and keeps it with her all her life, as if protecting her daughter's marriage. 3) the bride is blindfolded and untwisted in a circle of friends. One of her friends takes off her veil.

Throwing a bouquet: I think it needs no introduction;) The bride, turning her back to her unmarried friends, throws a bouquet. Who caught - the next one will get married. As an option: blindfolded, the bride spins in a circle of unmarried people and, either voluntarily or at the signal of the host (for example, turning off the music), she gives it to the one that is closest.

Garter toss: also a well-known case =) A newly-made husband removes a garter from his wife's leg and throws it, standing with his back, to his single friends. Whoever caught it will have a beautiful wife =) Option: instead of a garter (if you think it's ugly, vulgar, you don't want to bare your knees, or there are a lot of elderly relatives at the wedding) - the groom throws a boutonniere. If you think this is not erotic enough, you can attach a lacy scarlet thong to the garter - supposedly the groom takes off her panties from his wife, and can throw them. For special comedians - you can not thongs, but pantaloons with knee-length laces%)

Cutting the wedding cake: The bride and groom cut the cake with one knife. The first bite or eat together, feeding each other with a spoon; or given to the oldest at the table as a sign of respect; or sold at auction; or cut off the first two pieces and give them to mothers. For comedians: decorate the cake with sugar figures of the bride and groom and bite off the heads of your sweet half%)

Loaf and breaking glasses: parents meet the young at the place of celebration with a loaf on a towel and glasses of champagne. The loaf is either broken or bitten. Whoever has a piece more - he will be the owner in the house. Be sure to salt the piece. As they say, "the last time you can annoy your husband / wife", and treat your soul mate. They drink champagne and throw glasses over their shoulders. Glasses beat for happiness. In addition, the fragments can be used to find out the sex of the child. If the fragments are large (a whole leg, the bowl is broken into 2-3 pieces) - the first-born will be a boy; there are smithereens - girl.
And for those who want to keep clean after breaking glasses, I advise you to put the empty container in a transparent, pretty bag (for example, from organza), and throw it away. So the fragments are visible, and there is no need to clean up the fragments after yourself =)

There are not many girls who have had to go through a truly terrible situation when the groom left before the wedding Without explaning the reason. He could not come to the ceremony, or at the last moment confront the bride with the fact that he was not ready, or simply say “no, sorry” at a crucial moment. The shock that a woman experiences at such moments is difficult to compare with anything. And sometimes you have to endure the consequences for years, not believing men and being afraid of relationships. Some are lucky and quickly find another suitor, but deep down the trauma can remain.

One of the main reasons why some event “does not let go” of us for years is that we torment ourselves with the questions “Why?”, “How could he?” etc. Therefore, in this article we will deal with runaway bride syndrome in men.

In many cases, you can predict this kind of behavior in advance if you look closely at the person you meet (or live with). How he behaves, what he says, what thoughts he voices. Often we deprive a partner in this regard, thinking first of all about ourselves, and are little interested in what is inside him.

All contradictions, doubts, disagreements that have been smoothed out over the course of the relationship, sharply escalate before the wedding, often turning into a real pre-wedding jitters. In fact, in the last days before the registry office, the risk of parting is most likely. Many people are tormented by doubts, questions “Am I really ready? ..”, “What if this is not my person?”. Someone on the night before the wedding gets drunk with friends who reassure him and convince him of the correctness of his decision, someone calls the former or walks under her windows, sometimes even spends the night with her or cries over memories. Of course, not everyone does this! However, for many, this is a period of intense stress and hypersensitivity. Here is a visual refutation of the fact that "a stamp in the passport does not change anything."

Here is the most important point. How will a man react to this storm inside himself. Perezhivaet and calm down, hit the run or cancel everything. First of all, it depends on the maturity of the man and his true willingness to marry. If this is all right, then everything will be fine. But if a man constantly avoids talking about marriage - he does not clearly explain his unwillingness, namely, he avoids it under various pretexts - this is already a kind of “bell”. Such behavior does not always indicate the frivolity of feelings, it is quite possible that a person has certain problems associated with thoughts about marriage. There is even a special term "gamophobia" (not to be confused with homophobia), which translates as "fear of marriage." This is a painful condition that is more common in men than in women. A woman can "put the squeeze" on a man with such a syndrome before marriage, and then get a breakdown.

Therefore, in order to avoid such situations, try to feel your partner. Do not put pressure on him if he categorically does not want to get married - then you risk being in a very painful situation.

So the main reasons why the groom ran away before the wedding or cancel it at the last moment.

1. Initially did not want to get married. That is why in most cases it is not very correct when a woman makes an offer.

2. I met someone shortly before the wedding. This may be the former, whose feelings against the background of jitters flared up especially brightly, or maybe another, unfamiliar girl. Met - and here it is! ..

3. "Insight". At a moment when all emotions are heightened, the partner reacts to everything especially sharply. He thinks a lot, memories, nuances of your life together are spinning in his head, and he comes to the conclusion that you are not on your way.

4. Fear of a new life. The closer day X is, the greater the understanding that the old life will no longer exist. Again, this mainly applies to those men who initially did not want to marry or are too infantile.

5. Panic in front of a large number of people. You will laugh, but this may well confuse a man.

6. On the contrary, the desire to be the center of attention. Having escaped from a wedding, a person acquires fame, they will talk about him for a long time. True, this paragraph applies more to girls.

7. Chronic diseases. Yes, this happens not only in the movies, when a man suddenly finds out about a serious illness that can have a significant impact on family life.

8. A man suddenly realizes that he is gay. Or not suddenly, but right now he realizes that he cannot and should not resist his nature.

9. Friends / relatives dissuaded. Remember the story of how my friend rode a car around the registry office, dissuading her fiancé to go there.

Now another important question - why do you need to cancel the wedding the day before, or why do you need to disappear without warning at all? Why the day before we discussed above - the closer the event, the stronger the doubts. Until then, everything is going smoothly. As for the fact that the groom ran away from the wedding, did not come to it, or confronted it at the very last moment, then there are the same reasons as in the situation when a man leaves without explanation at the peak of the relationship. He doesn’t want to tell the reason, he’s afraid that the woman will dissuade him, and he has already made a decision, unable to survive an emotional conversation (and he will definitely be emotional), he’s just a coward, he wants to forget everything and immediately start a new life. In any case, this behavior is immature and it is good that fate removed such a person from your life.

How to survive such a state? First of all, give yourself the right to make a mistake - you made a mistake in choosing a person. But this is a plus - it's good that it became clear now, and not 5 years after the wedding. If the groom canceled the wedding in advance, warning you, then instruct him to inform all the guests about this, do not take on these heavy and humiliating explanations. Let him call your friends and relatives. Refuses - then just send everyone for clarification to him. Give him the phone or give him his phone number. This is not revenge (although why not) - but a person must be responsible for his actions. Changed my mind - so bring it to the end.

Give yourself time to experience, do not immediately build yourself proud. Don't make excuses to your guests. It would never occur to close people and real friends to condemn or ridicule you. They themselves are experiencing no less shock - do not reject their support.

Do not take the situation personally if you knew how many situations like this happen! Even if there is a special term and the name of the syndrome. Draw the right conclusions and try to live on. Life will put everything in its place.

in medieval Europe, it was believed that a shred torn from the bride's clothes would bring happiness. therefore, the brides, in order to avoid the guests tearing their dresses into memorable shreds, came up with a distraction. We throw the garter and, while everyone is catching, we quickly wash off. By the way, they didn’t necessarily throw a garter, they could also have a stocking or some other part of the wardrobe))

Smiled! in fact, the bride does not throw a garter 🙂 The groom throws a garter to unmarried guys. Whoever catches the guy will soon get married. By analogy, the girls with the bride's bouquet.

Answer from Ginger849[guru]
During the Middle Ages, garters were used to support pantaloons, and only after some time it became one of the important accessories not only for women, but also for men. The women's garter differed from the men's in the abundance of lace, embroidery and jewelry.
What is a wedding garter? The word garter comes from "jarret", which means "hollow" in translation. Previously, garters were worn to support stockings. Now, when it comes to a wedding garter - this is a wide or narrow elastic band or ribbon that the bride wears just above the knee of her right leg - this is the first garter, which, as a rule, is called "happy" - it is she who is thrown to the groom's single friends at a wedding celebration . But, the bride wears, as a rule, two garters - the second is slightly higher than the first - she is removed by her husband on their wedding night and is called - "honey". The husband keeps the second garter for himself and keeps it as a lucky talisman.
Where did this tradition of throwing wedding garters come from? In ancient times, it was believed among some peoples that a piece of clothing or flowers brought into the house brings happiness, so each of the guests tried to tear something off the wedding suit of the bride or groom. And in order not to be left without a wedding dress, someone very witty came up with throwing a wedding garter. It would seem that the problem is solved. But then it turned out that the problem was solved, but not completely. Under the influence of wine vapors, most of the men of the guests sought to rip off this treasured garter from the beautiful bride. It was then that the tradition appeared that the husband takes off the wedding garter from the bride, and not anyone else.

Answer from Mari Merkushkina<3 [guru]
I’m not from Russia, so I don’t understand what you saw obscene in this customs ....

A wedding involves various rituals, ancient and modern. If the ancient rites have their own sacred meaning and are carried out according to strict rules passed from mouth to mouth, then modern rites, although they are held at our weddings, remain little known to people. One of these is associated with the bridegroom throwing the bride's garter.

From the history of the origin of the rite

Medieval Europe gave rise to a huge number of different wedding ceremonies that have come down to our times. The ceremony of throwing the garter comes from the Middle Ages. In those days, it was widely believed in Europe that the little thing that belonged to the bride and groom brings good luck. The development of this belief led to the fact that each guest, inadvertently, tried to tear off a small flap of the young's clothes. Over time, this not entirely pleasant tradition for newlyweds has acquired a more cultural character. The young people themselves began to throw a small detail of the bride's outfit, thereby increasing its importance for the lucky one who managed to catch it. At the beginning of the development of the tradition, both the groom and the bride took part in the ceremony of throwing the garter, later this duty passed to the groom.

Traditionally, the bride wore two garters over her stocking. The first one was given during the celebration to the unmarried friends of the young husband, and was called “happy”. But the second garter, "honey", went only to her husband, and was removed only on the marriage bed.

The modern custom of throwing the garter

The ceremony of throwing the garter, as a rule, is carried out at the end of the solemn wedding evening. In itself, the tradition of throwing a bride's garter to single men is a playful form, but, nevertheless, it is very symbolic. This ceremony is performed after the bride throws the wedding bouquet to her bridesmaids. It is believed that those guests who are lucky enough to catch a bouquet and a garter will become newlyweds in the near future. How to perceive this “prophecy” is up to you, but a piece of happiness will definitely settle in your house, and perhaps even attract love to it.

In order to carry out the ceremony of removing the bandage by the groom from the bride, it is necessary to choose the appropriate musical accompaniment and agree with the bride how the groom will remove this intimate detail from her leg. Properly selected music will enhance the impression of the guests from what is happening, as well as bring ease to the atmosphere.

There are several options for the groom to remove the garter from the bride. The most common is to remove it with your teeth. To do this, the bride must put her foot on a chair and slightly raise the hem of the dress. The groom, on the other hand, must manage to remove the garter without hands and so that not a single guest sees the “extra”. This option is suitable for a couple who has a good sense of humor and is quite liberated. If the bride is shy, then the groom removes the garter with his hand, or the bride herself removes it from herself and passes it to her husband.

After the treasured garter is removed, all unmarried men stand behind the groom, and he, on a signal of readiness, throws it into the crowd. The development of events develops depending on the strength of the desire of the guests to get the trophy. Here various incidents are possible in the form of colliding friends and enchanting falls on the floor. Whatever happens, this action always brings its unforgettable zest and leaves a mark in the memory of the young for many years.

Indulge in wedding ceremonies, because the wedding should be remembered by the young. Even if, in your opinion, all these traditions are stupid and ridiculous, I can assure you that they will give your wedding moments that will warm your heart for many years to come.
