So I need this dress.

The first time I caught the bouquet was at an outdoor ceremony, and my then-boyfriend gave me a super cheesy grin and asked “so who’s the lucky guy?” Wow, clearly not YOU, mister.

Also from the AFA’s dumbass petition:

The American Family Association can go get fucked. Telling kids that they shouldn’t be part of a “family”, such as the GSA because they’re different is a pretty damn shitty family value if you ask me.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN “THE GIRL SCOUTS ARE ACCEPTING GIRLS?!”

I have avoided bouquets to the point of running AWAY FROM THE DAMN THING. Nevertheless, this would be grounds of immediate breakup if a guy were mean enough to do that.

You know what his buddies call him now? Single.

It’s amazing how strongly people will defend stupid traditions “because it’s just what’s done.” Like, is the bouquet toss the hill you want to die on?

When my sister caught the bouquet at a wedding, her then boyfriend remade a big show of running from the garter toss. But she was expected to laugh and act like it was fine. Sadly, she did later marry him and they had a horrible marriage, followed by a drawn out divorce. Anyone whose idea of a joke is public…

Some people have a smaller bouquet that they use just for the toss thing separate from the one carried during the ceremony for that reason.

I’ve literally been dragged onto the floor during the bouquet toss. I’d have many fewer problems with this as a tradition if people would just chill out about it.

I honestly don’t remember what I did with mine. I think I gave it to my then-8-year-old niece to do whatever she wanted with it.

I am 35, and although I would never admit it if asked, I’m sort of sad that I’ve been forever single and have given up on the idea of getting married. Having said that, if I get hauled out on to one more dancefloor at a wedding for a bouquet toss because people cannot stop screaming my name to get out there, having…

A someone who was single far longer than her peers....that shit is shameful. I loathed every bouquet toss I ever had to endure. There is no way I would ever put my friends or family in the same position. It amazes me how many people plan weddings without even questioning these so called “traditions.”

WHo the fuck says yay? WHO?!?!?!?!

If your therapist is worth their weight in horrible salted water, tell them. I totally understand your fear, and boy howdy have I gotten a lot of “you couldn’t REALLY have had a problem because x y z”, even from people I thought were good friends, and skepticism, and a lot of BS, but the best things I ever did were to…

Not a dick to me directly, but to my shitty ex. He deserved it.

This is fabulous.
