Today, at my sister's wedding, I went to the very back of the crowd of women waiting to catch the bouquet. Not only did I end up catching it, I was accosted by a crazy chick who ripped it out of my hands, screaming at me in Italian. I later found out she was already engaged. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a wedding, and during the bouquet toss, I stood back and let the single ladies have their moment. The bouquet flew straight at me, hit me in the face, and I instinctively grabbed it. Now everyone thinks I’m desperate to get married. FML

Today, I was at a wedding reception. Everyone got offended when I threw my hands up and backed off to avoid catching the garter and let the two guys on either side fight for it. Nothing but laughs for the cousin who grabbed the bouquet out of someone else's hand and punched her, though. FML

Well you can still say you caught it, and based on the way the other lady acted her engagement isn't going to last very long...

I never really understand why girls get so rattled up over the bouquet toss, it's supposed to be a fun thing. Not a wrestling match.

They probably WANTED to be next after hearing that rundown joke.

I have never seen a bouquet toss that looked fun. Most have looked like a pro wrestling match.

Your sister must know you very well to throw it straight to you. Or you must know her throwing quite well to stand right where you needed to be. Congratulations to your sister and to you for catching the bouquet.

Or, you know, she just happened to be standing where her sister threw the bouquet.

The very back of the crowd is usually where people go who DON'T want to catch the bouquet.

Call me paranoid, but I think my family sabotaged my chance at catching the bouquet during my sister's wedding (I was her Maid of Honor and 21 at the time). As she was getting ready to toss the bouquet, my grandmother, mother, and father all came up to me at once and asked me to help my grandmother take an empty plastic cake tray to her car. I asked them if it could wait until after my sister tossed the bouquet, but they insisted that I go immediately and literally pulled me to the car that second. Of course, I missed the bouquet tossing (my grandmother didn't even thank me for helping her, and she ended up staying at the wedding for another 30 minutes), but the only females that went for the bouquet were either already married or hadn't hit puberty yet. Our five-year-old cousin caught the bouquet (which was admittedly cute), but I think my sister's guests missed the point of the superstition.

Why do people take this tradition WAY too seriously?

Same reason people pretend there's no 13th floor in buildings.

You would have found a horse's head in your bed if you hadn't given it to her.

All the females in my huge family are super competitive! The bouquet toss is like a mosh pit. There will be blood!
