This sounds like fun.....

From the time line for my May 22 wedding:

During the garter toss, the groom will be pulling out several random items from underneath the bride's dress, including (but not limited to) an umbrella, two bottles of beer, a bottle opener for the beer, and a rubber chicken. While the groom is "searching" for the garter, please play the theme from "Mission: Impossible." When the rubber chicken is pulled out, please switch the music to "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (aka the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey). The groom will finally remove the garter after the rubber chicken comes out, and will time the ...

Could be very interesting...:sqcool:
 
Oh I could have so much fun with that scenario. One thing I love about weddings is making wisecracks during the garter. :D
 
Yeah I saw that bit done years ago. Who's providing all the props?

Since I just came by the information on their planner and since we didn't previously discuss it, my guess is they are providing the props.

I'm quite sure they have already thought of it but I can't help but state the obvious make sure they have a chair cover it will be the most important item they will need. :sqwink:

I'm going to drop them a line and check that out.
 
Done this years ago (not many do it these days too stuck up for games it seems)

anyway what happens is that if the bride has one of them BIG dresses that well look roundish
its a great way of hiding stuff under it just after she goes to the rest room prior to the garter.. see what my bride did was have a few pockets sown into the underside of the dress so that they could be used to hold things for when the garter is done and the groom has to feel around as he is removing whats under her dress


now the best thing is if he forgets where the main item is located then the rubber chicken skit will be a flop but its funny seeing the expression on his face while he is getting all these items

a few I have seen is:
oversize shoulder bolder holder pants (grandma style)
oversize bras (well over size 50) lol
a blowup doll box of a man
playing cards
a booze bottle
a glass jar (can be broken) with the words break if desperate (inside is a key to a chastity belt)


look I made up more over the years

including a free lunch voucher at mcdonalds

look you can customize it your own way lol
 
Just got an email... he's still working on the props and as soon as he has them lined up he'll give me an order in which he plans to pull them....

For now all I have to worry about is playing Mission Impossible and then into the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey when he pulls a rubber chicken.....

What I hope to do is based on what other gems he decides to pull as for now the only effect I plan to use will be a crowing rooster that will cover the crossover to the theme song.
 
had the exact scenario a while back
the problem is the groom needs to get this all set up WAY in advance.
he took a banquet chair, and draped a table cloth over it.
he put all the props in a box and hid it under the chair
and gave me directions to slide out the chair at the right time
being careful to drag the box-o-props along with it.

he thought of it last minute, so he grabbed what he could, from the kitchen, the bathroom and his own car trunk
(tire irons, tools, toilet paper rolls, pots and pans....)

oh! and the bride didnt know he was doing it!

Pretty much exactly what I told him... have the stuff there early so that we could put it under my chair (even tho I wont be actually useing it) that way I can just grab it and slide it onto the dance floor never exposing our little collection of toys...
 
Say when he pulls the rubber chicken do you have a sheep sound effect then or sounds from a barnyard and a rooster going on... just before you play mission impossible

might actually spark it up

but I been doing sound effects for years so I might have it done faster lol

anyway see what happens and how you think you would go!

just a suggestion!

Since the Chicken will be the last thing pulled before going for the garter and ya I have a chicken crow efx for that...

As soon as I get a list of the other things i'll get efx for those...
 
Before the Mission Impossible theme use the creaking door opening from Michael Jackson's Thriller :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Wow, I haven't done the Garter Game (that's what it is called) in a long time.

The last guy that did it had on a miner's hard hat with a light on it.
