The garter is tossed to guests and whoever catches it is said to have good luck.

Over time, the association of wedding garter belts as signs of good fortune has remained. In the past centuries, the garter became increasingly connected to single males thus evolved the tradition where men attempt to catch the bride’s garter belt as the male equivalent to the bridal bouquet.
