I really don't like the idea of my new husband going under my dress in front of our grandparents and all the little children in our families. Does anyone have any good ideas for an alternative to the garter retrieval and subsequent toss? I want to do something that would allow the single men to take part, and perhaps share a dance with the single woman who catches the bouquet. Please help!

Welcome to the site, Greyrichmond! I'm sure the ladies will have some great ideas.
Born Blessed!
Hello, and welcome!
I went to a wedding where the bride presented her bouquet to her MOH, and FH presented the garter to one of his friends. The bride was sincere and thoughtful.
It was done very playfully on the grooms behalf, and he made a few jokes and comments as be 'bestowed' it on to his friend with well wishes. we all got some chuckles out of it.
At my cousin's wedding they had all the married couples stand. They counted out the years and had each couple sit down on the number of years they'd been married. The last couple standing who had been married the longest were presented with the bouquet and joined the newlyweds in a dance.
Ms. Future,
that is a GREAT idea! since my reception will be at my church I think that is a good idean and very tasteful!
