Ever wonder what the bridal bouquet toss means? When I was a young girl, I found it very amusing that all the bachelorettes would vie for the bride’s bouquet. It was quite a commotion–with some pushing, shoving, and screaming! But in the end, the winning lass would always have that victorious smile and all the other girls would slump back into their seats green with envy. It took a few years and a handful of understanding for me to really appreciate the importance of this tradition. For those who still don’t know what this toss is all about, or would like to learn more, here’s a video that explains this famous wedding tradition.
