Bubbles today instead of rice. It's so it doesn't hurt the animals and it's not clean up for the church.
Garter toss- I have never seen the bride sit on the best man's lap... that a bit much.
Bouquet toss....
You also have the bride and father dance. And then Groom and mother dance.
Cake cutting
Bubbles at the church when leaving, dances when you first get to the hall, dancing, then boquet toss, then garter toss and then the cake cutting is at the end... then another hour of dancing.

Most places will not allow you to throw rice any more due to the fact that birds are dying bc of it. There is bubbles or everyone can release helium filled balloons...ummmmmm I don't know what kind of sick kinky weddings you have been to, but I know I WILL NOT sit on the best mans lap to have my garter removed...I know how to sit on a chair, thank you

Please do NOT throw rice! the birds eat it and it swells in their stomachs, and often kills them.
Regards.
