The groom takes the garter off of his wife's leg and tosses it to the single men. Traditionally, the man who catches the garter puts it on the leg of the woman who catches the bouquet. Many couples choose not to partake in these traditions anymore. Before all of the guests leave, the bride and groom receive a cheerful send-off from their family and friends. Even if you are not immediately heading for a honeymoon destination, do not wait until all of your guests leave the reception.
Many guests think it is appropriate to wait for the bride and groom to leave.
Many private country clubs require that a member sponsor a couple. Some do not have any requirements and will allow you to host your wedding at their site. But others will not allow any couples who are not members to have their wedding at their club. The best way to find out is to call the club and ask. The sooner the better.
