Single woman who caught 46 wedding bouquets STILL isn't married

Akin to the movie '27 Dresses', Jackson, who is still single, has kept all of her bouquets and displays them in a glass cabinet

World record: Jackson has caught 46 wedding bouquets since 1996
A woman has caught a whopping 46 wedding bouquets - but is STILL single.

Jamie Jackson, 37, who has attended nearly 100 weddings, grabbed her first bouquet in 1996.
And, due to her competitive nature, it eventually grew into a hobby.

Bouquet catching: Jackson says "the sport" has turned into her hobby

Jackson, who says she plans to catch the bouquet every time she's invited to a wedding, is now hoping her collection has smashed the current world record, which stands at 11.

She told KSL: "It is something that you have to plan for and you have to be very strategic where you place yourself.

"My strategy is to be right up in the front because a lot of times the brides don’t know how far they are going to throw it.

Looking for Mr Right: Jackson has never married despite catching 46 wedding bouquets

 "A lot of times it will hit a ceiling, it’ll hit a chandelier - I’ve had many, many catches where I’ve had to jump for it. And I’ve hit little kids by accident.”

Jackson, who calls bouquet catching “her sport”, said it soon became a running joke among family and friends.

She said: “Back in 2004, this girl Stephanie out of Pennsylvania, she made it an official world record and she had 11.

And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I have 35.’ I was like, ‘I have to break this record.’"

Jackson, from Salt Lake City in the U.S, began the submission process for the Guinness World Record, and by August 2014, she had caught 46 wedding bouquets.

She began tracking down all the brides whose wedding bouquets she had caught in order to get official documentation and photos to apply for the record.

She said she was happy to find out that most of the women were still married.

“I’m proud to say that out of all 46 wedding bouquets I’ve caught, there have only been two divorces out of 46,” she added. “I consider myself a good luck charm.”

Akin to the movie '27 Dresses', Jackson, who is still single, has kept all of her bouquets and displays them in a glass cabinet with labels of each wedding and year.

“It’s just been a fun process over the years,” she said.

Jackson submitted her application Wednesday and hopes to catch four more wedding bouquets to make her record an even 50.
