whats that ribbon thing you wear around your leg at your wedding?

Answer 1

its a Garter


A garter is often worn by newlywed brides. It is the groom's privilege to remove the garter and toss it to the male guests. The symbolism to deflowering is unambiguous. Historically, this tradition also relates to the belief that taking an article of the bride's clothing would bring good luck. As this often resulted in the destruction of the bride's dress, the tradition arose for the bride to toss articles of clothing to the guests, including the garter. Sometimes, if the guests were drunk, they would try to remove the garter ahead of time, and consequently the tradition arose for the groom to remove it himself and toss it to the guests, in order to protect his bride from molestation by the guests.[1]

At some American high schools, it is traditional for girls to wear garters to their prom. At the end of the evening, her partner removes the garter and keeps it as a souvenir. In some cases, the girls exchange their garters for their partners' bow ties. The tradition of wearing garters to proms is especially prevalent in Chicagoland and surrounding midwestern cities.

In universities, many boarding students will use a garter, or alternately a necktie, around their bedroom doorknob to show that the couple inside are engaged in some form of sexual- or foreplay-related activity. Thus, it is the dormitory equivalent to a "do-not-disturb" sign in many ways.
