I may be the only person on Earth that doesn't understand this, but at weddings when the groom goes in between the wife's legs and removes the panty-looking thing, is he really removing her panties? Is she really walking around with no panties on for the rest of the wedding with no panties on with hundreds of people around?
Wedding garter. Considerably tamer than the original methodology.
He's removing the garter, that band she wears around one of her thighs.

What is that and why does the wife have it on?

It's a lacy or frilly band that goes around the mid- or upper thigh that was once used to hold up her stockings before elastic was commonly used in stockings to keep them from falling (nowadays, it's just for tradition). It's tradition for the groom to remove it from the bride (sometimes seen as a symbol of deflowering) and toss it to the unwed male guests. Just like with the bouquet, the superstition is that the man who catches the garter will be among the next group in attendance to be married. Lastly, the man who caught the garter will often place it on the leg of the woman who caught the bouquet, and the two would share the next dance.

Happily ETS'd.
I bet you felt embarrassed as a kid whenever you went to a wedding.

Same here. I actually just researched that today when I saw the question so I didn't look like an idiot and say something stupid. Learn something new every day, right?

It would be cool of it was. I'd show up at stranger's weddings if that happened.
