    I ordered my garter from GartersbyKristi on Etsy.

    And I am so pleased with the product! My FI is a HUGE Toronto Maple Leafs fan and so the garter is going to be a surprise.

    What's awesome is that he has already planned to do a hockey inspired garter toss. We are going to play the 'old' Hockey Night in Canada theme song (sorry if you don't know what that is but it's HUGE in Canada to the point that you can sing the first few beats in a bar "DUN DA DUN DA DA" everyone in the bar will join in and finish the song) and FI is going to totally ham it up. He is going to put on his Leafs jersey, his helmet and his gloves and then go in for the garter! It's going to be hilarious! And then he will get surprised with a Leafs garter!!!!

    I do have a question though about the two garters. I know that one is a keepsake garter but do you wear both of them on your wedding day? Or do you just save the other one for later in the night ;-)

    I dont know about how to wear them. I think one is just keepsake. That is why it is smaller. And the other gets tossed. But either way, they are super cute.

    That is so awesome! I just showed my man that and he thinks your fiance is amazing! We're Red Wings fan but he has a spot in his heart for the Leafs (he's half canadian, family from Grand Bend and London actually). I even asked him what the "old' Hockey Night in Canada theme song is and he immediately sang it.

    I got a garter from her as well! (Chicago Blackhawks)  I am so excited for my boy to see it.  I'm thinking of tossing the big one instead of the small one (small one is cuter,  I wanna keep it :)

    I love your garter toss idea!

    Thanks guys I really love the idea and the garter!

    @roxy - That is awesome and just made my day!!!! Say hello to a fellow londoner for me ;-) I felt really stupid explaining the 'old' Hockey Night in Canada theme song on here but your FI getting it and singing it made me feel way better ;-)

    @ colleen - I like the little one too but I think I am going to keep the big one because it looks cuter on!
