Today, I took part in a bouquet toss. The "single ladies" consisted of myself and several girls under the age of ten. I'm 31. FML

Today, at my aunt's wedding, the time for the tossing of the bouquet came and the announcer asked for all the single ladies to gather behind the bride. I was the only one. FML

Today, I attended my best friend's wedding. Instead of throwing her bouquet, she turned around and handed it to me. I was the only single lady out of 150 guests. FML

Today, during the garter toss at a wedding, all the eligible men yelped and scrambled, evading it like a falling meteor. They apparently wanted to stay single, rather than put it on and dance with the one who caught the bouquet, which was me. FML

Today, at a wedding reception, I accidentally caught the bouquet. I got cussed out by the women who were fighting over it for being uninvited and party crashing. I'm a busgirl and the bouquet only landed on the tray I was holding. FML

Today, at my cousin's wedding, there was a bouquet toss. I jumped to catch it, only to get knocked down and crushed by a woman twice my size who'd jumped backwards. It still feels like someone shattered my ribs with a sledgehammer. FML

Today, I was at a friend's wedding and caught the bouquet. Everyone cheered, until I slipped on the flowers and fell flat on my back. FML

Today, at my sister's wedding, she and I had a plan that she would purposely throw the bouquet to my girlfriend, then I would propose in front of everyone. When the bouquet landed in my girlfriend's lap, she screamed, "Ew, no way" and threw it to someone else. FML

Today, I read an FML about a garter toss. It made me remember my own garter toss. None of the guys at the wedding wanted to catch it, and visibly cringed at the idea of touching it. Ten years later, it's all been downhill from there. FML

Ha! That happened at my wedding. Nothing but little girls came to catch the bouquet. A 13 year old girl caught it. Then, when the garter was tossed, a bunch of 40+ year old men lined up. Then the garter got stuck in the decorations hanging from the ceiling. It's almost like God just said, "Nope."

Dang now you got me curious who caught the garter at that wedding, if the bouquet wasn't caught by the OP?

It may seem suckish now, But it will get better dear. Stay positive , put on some heels (Or whatever sexy shoes you have) and just do you until the right guy comes along. (:

Just to know, you might not have been the only adult single lady there. There are some that hate the tradition and refuse to even participate.

Also very true. I've been to enough weddings where the women were willing to destroy each others hair and earrings just to leave with the flowers. I was able to step away unharmed, but I have not stepped back onto the bouquet toss floor, since. So you definitely got that right!

Were the kids children of your peers? I could see that messing with your head a bit but overall there's zero wrong with being 31 and single. Take advantage of it! Do something awesome that your married friends couldn't.
