Bird --

Many traditional customs have that at the base. For example, the bride tossing the garter is an attempt to gentrify the older custom of the wedding guests literally stripping the clothes off the bride.

The garter was to act as a substitute. And, yes, Cami will indeed toss her garter in the public ceremony near the end of the game!
