Our Wedding - Bouquet Toss & Thank U

So we decided to do it. The big ol' double toss! We figured why not better the odds of our guests catching the bouquet? We decided to invite both the single ladies & men up to the dance floor. A little untraditional, I know. But afterall we certainly aren't the most traditional couple. I was surprised to see that quite a few guys (even straight ones!) got up for a chance to catch them. Oh how I love my progressive loved ones :)

The anticipation was building...

for the big toss. Unfortunately we didn't practice so, once again, as during our first dance, we were not synchronized.

But I guess I didn't really care

There was one little casualty of war. My cousin got hit in the head by an errant elbow during all the excitement.

But she did, in fact, win one of the bouquets fair & square :)

Immediately following the toss, J gave our guests a great big thank you for sharing in our day.

Next up: The cake!

Catch Me If You Can!

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about bouquet tossings. It's kinda funny since we're two girls. And we both would have bouqets to toss. And what would we do? Have both girls & guys up to catch them? I mean we'll have a bunch of single guys and girls at the wedding and I wouldn't want to leave any one sex out. Kinda a funny thought, right? Although I have to admit it would make for a GREAT photo op.

But then, on the other hand, since the bouquet toss is all about "who will be the next one to marry?" business I think about our thoughts on marriage and we're really not the kinda people to force the idea marriage on people. Or even the idea of coupledum, for that matter. Like you have to be married or at least coupled up to be a worthwhile person??? And we're not really very traditional, after all, so I don't really feel the need to do all the typical thing that happens at every other wedding.

So what do you guys think about this one? Yay or nay for tossing the bouquets?
