Rosey I was reading up on some of the items you have - one of which is "8 tip about planning a second wedding" and I anoticed you said the second time bride should not wear several things one of which was a garter. What is the meaning behind wearing a garter and why can't she wear it?

Charlotte it has the AUTHOR'S NAME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARTICLE, Tom Downward of http://www.weddingsrfun.com . HE IS A CONTRIBUTING WRITER. I DON'T SEE A MENTIPON OF GARTERS IN THE ARTICLE. bUT i THINK i KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING WITH THE CLOTHING RULES. (sorry about caps, not shouting, can't type) Some people have hang ups about what is appropriate for a multiple bride and to avoid the drama he is giving pretty astute words of advice.
This custom originates from at least two cultures. In ancient times the garter represented the virginal girdle. Thus, the groom's removal of the garter represented the bride's relinquishment of that status. And an Old English custom involved that of wedding guests sneaking into the bridal chamber, picking up discarded stockings, and throwing them at the couple. Whoever flung a stocking that hung on the bride or groom's nose would be the next to marry.
Sooo. Everyone KNOWS you are no longer a virgin because it is your second marriage. But if it is your first marriage whether you are a virgin or not rarely has proof huh? lol

Thanks for this little piece of information. To be perfectly honest I never thought of the meaning of wearing a garter or all of the other traditions. I'm learning so much here and having fun in the process. Thanks.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Yah I didn't see it either but I know that there is a purpose behind everything so I asked and I know you would have known. Thanks.
