Wedding bouquet toss, only 1 single lady.

Hi all, thoughts, ideas, opinions, welcome. Please!!

I get married abroad at the start of December, small group attending that mostly include family (around 15 adults and 5 children). There is only going to be 1 unmarried lady, so I think doing a traditional bouquet toss would be pointless.
Would I be unreasonable to not do a bouquet toss? Or to just hand my bouquet to the unmarried lady, or shout her name and lob it at her from the other side of the room? 😂 What would you folks see as a reasonable adjustment here?

*Edited to correct that lady isn't single but will be only one unmarried, her partner will be in attendance also.

Who cares 🤷

Do not give her or even toss her your bouquet. Maybe she doesn’t want to get married. Maybe it’s a sore point between her and her partner. Just don’t do it!
And do have a wonderful day! 😊💐

@Wigglefish123 I care, hence why I asked the question so I didn't upset/ offend anyone with my actions, or the lack of. Why even read or respond with such a pointless waste of words?🤷

I’ve been to some weddings with a bouquet toss, but a minority. Even when I was single I stayed away at that moment because I didn’t want to catch the bouquet.
I suppose if it were a huge wedding and you’d be throwing your bouquet into a huge crowd, that seems fine, but at a small wedding with only one unmarried female guest I would not expect a bouquet toss at all.

I’ve never been to a wedding where the bouquet was tossed.

Nor me.
Didn’t think it was done in this country.
