From Miss to Mrs: Tossing Fun

One tradition that we knew we would definitely do were the bouquet and garter tosses. I know that some people hate them because they single people out, or that they feel it's antiquated. But for us, it seemed like something fun to do, so they were definitely in.
For the bouquet toss, we went the somewhat cliched way and used Beyonce's "Single Ladies" as our song. Yes, it may be a little over done. But that's because it's such a perfect fit.
As for the song for the garter toss, I went with one of the boy's favorites, "Pride and Joy" by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
You can probably tell the boy was very focused taking off my garter. Although that's probably because he was trying to avoid my feet, which unfortunately you can see in the picture, and I'll ask you to forget immediately.
Funny enough, my bridesmaid who caught the bouquet, her date was the one who also the garter. And while it wasn't intentional, there weren't a lot of people fighting for it. I do remember thinking that the reception felt empty during the tosses and wondering how so many people had left without us noticing. And while people had started leaving at this time, I later learned that a group of people had gone on a tour of the plantation home and returned to the reception later on.
What are your thoughts on bouquet tosses? Have you every been lucky enough to catch one?
