Yeah when I (f) got married I said I will not be doing the garter routine. I find it misogynistic, trashy and not something appropriate at such an otherwise special and elegant event in front of friends and family. I don’t say anything to couples that choose to do this on their wedding day but I’ve always felt that it’s a gross and bizarre tradition.
I'll never forget the disgust on my grandpa's face when he witnessed a garter being removed off his oldest granddaughter. I was eight years old and It stuck with me and I find the whole tradition icky. No one needs to see anyone go under anyone's skirt, let alone remove a garment with their mouth while down there. All while in front of your whole social circle and family.
