Today, single ladies at a reception may be excited to get some free flowers or hesitant to admit they want to be the next one married. The bachelors out there may find it awkward to leap in the air to catch a lacey garment that was just taken from the bride’s thigh, or they may find it hilarious to fight over such a prize (to hold over the head of their newly married friend). Either way, the origin of these awkward traditions are far worse and top all in shock factor. These two traditions actually derived from attempts to protect the bride from the guests!
