Viewers know wedding traditions and they were simply responding to the traditions. By the time the groom gets around to sliding the garter off his bride's leg, they ARE married. So I don't necessarily find Jake putting his head under Molly's skirt and grabbing the garter with his teeth in bad taste. I've been to plenty of weddings where the same exact thing was done and didn't find those incidents to be distasteful as well. Now, if the bride and groom act raunchy and lewd during the incident, that would constitute poor taste.
Nobody wants to see stuff that usually happens behind closed doors.
But for Jake and Molly, and every other wedding I've been to, the garter ceremony has always been lighthearted fun. I have to agree that the bride and groom smushing cake into each other's mouths IS in poor taste. In addition to be totally unclassy, it's a statistical fact that couple's who do that have a higher divorce rate that couples who don't. Just a bit of trivia to get the brain working this Friday morning. A lot of women choose not to wear a garter and do that whole sordid thing.
