    Anyone doing these? FI is Navy and I really LOVE these...cheesy, yes, but a good silent nod to his service! What are you ladies doing?

    I couldn't open the link for some reason but I've seen all those before and I think it's really cute!! I'm actually getting my FI a really nice TN garter since he's  HUGE TN fan. Just a little personal surprise for when he lifts up my dress lol. Do they come with throwing ones? Don't get rid of the cute one for him, make sure you get a less elaborate one you can throw so you can keep it!

    DB Military Garters? :  wedding P 5937 2 125420

    Yup they come with a toss garter too...and I thought about at UT one since FI is a huge Vol fan (sucks about the 1 point loss today to Michigan St.) as well!

    Yup, I love those!!! I think it's seriously TOO cute and I know the hubs would def appreciate it!! I looked at the army (FI is an officer) and I got the Vols one but I'm not sure which one to use, either!! OMG that was an intense game, especially the last 11 secs!! Geez, when Michigan was fouled that last time, I knew it was over. The FI is over in Iraq and he made me promise to text him the results and I hate to think about the bad mood he'll be in when he wakes up!

    Anways, I say go for it!!

    I, too, will be wearing a garter made out of old army fatigues! My FI hummed and hawed about how big a role he wanted his army life to play in the wedding, and he eventually opted to wear a tux or suit instead of his dress uniform. The garter will be just a little piece of the army that we are able to incorporate into the wedding. We love it!

    I had to make my own, my husband is a Coastie vet and looks like those, like all the other garters I looked at, only come in the big four (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines). I just bought a garter set, left the toss one as is, bought a little Coast Guard seal charm and sewed it on to the decorative one. It was SO worth it to see the look on his face when he was helping me out of my dress that night!

    I saw those and liked them! My FI and I met in the Navy! LOL I was looking at the ones from Hortense B. Hewitt, just Navy blue garter with silver anchor charm! But I LOVE how those DB ones come with the toss one!

    @KT~How sweet! I've not heard of the other one before, I'll check those out. And yeah, I was really impressed with the fact they had a throw away garter too!
