Garters, who needs ‘em?
April 13, 2008
When I think about garters I think “Do I want a lace-covered rubber band wrapped around my thigh for the duration of my wedding ceremony, only to be removed publicly?”
Uh, no. I don’t need my brand-new-groom to symbolically deflower me in front of the wedding guests. Aside from giving everyone a weirdly intimate indication of what might happen later that night, garters are useless.
Unless they hold a flask or wallet. Then garters are freaking awesome. Except that I don’t plan on being trashed at my wedding. And sorry, girlfriends who I love but am not asking to be bridesmaids, I’m not getting these for you either. So when would I have a chance to use this incredible device?
Maybe for baseball games? Can you imagine how much money you’d save if instead of buying $8.00 beers at the Giants game you brought a flask or two of whiskey? We’re talking about hundreds of dollars in savings if you switch to rum and cokes. Now that’s an accessory I can believe in.
If you’re a Bay Area Bride, you can pick up a garter flask at Dollhouse Bettie (home of crazy-enormous panties I hope to never wear) or Mingle, those of you who don’t live here in the land of protests can stop by the online Juliette Garter Shop.

I am constantly coming to your site. (As in the past you did slam the koozie-most famous of wedding favors) and finally had to comment. If my wife had that on, geez. don’t even know how I could handle that. Liquor, I don’t even, . well yes I do.

Oh, man. That would be so awesome for attending someone else’s wedding, especially if it was a wedding where you’re making bets on how short the marriage will be.

Are you entering the Cheap Chic Weddings 2008 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest? It is cool stupid crap. No pun intended.

I just found your blog via Head Bride in Charge, and can only say it makes me so friggin’ happy that there are indeed sane brides out there. And I’m sending out a big ol’ “I HEAR YA” re: the garters!

Cool Site! Been reading for a while looking at blog and writings styles for my upcoming blog about a man’s #1 question, “How can I give her the best sex
ever”? This post made me want to say two thumbs up! Keep up the good work.

I swear this isn’t some spam posting!!
i just found your site and I love IT!!! I had a bit of catching up to do with your posts but it was a hilarious!
I also blog (from an overinvolved groom’s perepctive) so I left the address in the webiste field. I don’t think I am nearly as funny as you, but I think we are both about as sarcastic!

I think garters are still loved by women who want to make a show of themselves at the wedding. I personally didn’t wear one on my wedding day but some women still love the tradition.

I stumbled across your site and I have to say I’m hooked, you have some fun stuff here. I think that the flask garter is absolutley perfect for the bachlorette party.
Cannot wait to see what you coem up with next. If you want a more traditional break come check us out. Otherwise keep up the fun!

Yesterday in the mail I got “Oriental Trading WEDDING!” and I instantly thought of stupid wedding crap.
incidentally, I have no idea how I signed up for this. because all of it incredibly trashy and tacky. to name just a few things:
Bridal dress and tuxedo bottle insulators
Wedding party can insulators
and wedding character shot glasses.

Great articles, entertaining site!

That garter flask has me doubled over with laughter.
As a reasonable drinker I just know that if given the opportunity to ease my stress a touch on my wedding day, I might like to just resort to pulling it out.
Really love the humor here and I visit regularly.
Very entertaining!
