Garter belts are very sexy on a bride. But what is the symbolism behind the tradition of removing it?

Down on the farm, I once saw a man marry a sheep. Now THAT is strange.
Strange to marry it, yes. Are you the black sheep of your family?

Place THAT in you're pipe and smoke it, everybody. Kicky, you are such a philosopher!

Remember back at Christmas time when everyone got decorated avatars? That was pretty.
