At the weddings I've been to (including my own), the bride usually aims for someone in particular. I made sure the little 6-year-old in the front row caught mine (and I think all my sorority sisters/cousins/etc... who participated were relieved).
Same for the groom--he aimed for his cousin. I'd never heard of the person who caught the garter putting it in the person who caught the bouquet.
At another sorority sister's wedding, a girl from my pledge class literally dove for the bouquet (knocking down a little cousin of the bride in the process).
We did the anniversary dance as well, but it wasn't connected with the bouquet/garter toss. It is a nice way to honor that couple, though.
