Opps - RIGHT LEG
And found a source for ya!
"Throwing the garter began in France when pieces of the bridal attire were considered lucky. The bride would throw the garter to the guests at the wedding and whoever caught it could expect good luck. In the United States, the groom traditionally removes the garter from the bride and throws it to the unmarried men. The man who catches it is thought to be the next to marry. At some weddings the man who catches the garter will place it on the leg of the lady who caught the bouquet or they may start the next dance. It is also common for the recipients of the bouquet and garter to have a photograph taken with the bride and groom.
The garter is placed on the brides right leg, just above the knee.
Often the bride chooses to wear both a garter to throw as well as a garter that she would keep."

Tossing the garter is a custom that dates back to the 14th century. Plan to wear one garter to throw and another to be saved as a cherished keepsake. It is traditionally worn on the right leg.
