Tomorrow will be my friend's wedding so I've been discussing w/ her sister the possible games we can play when the groom arrives at the bride's house. Wedding door games are part of Chinese customs where the groom is given a hard time before he can see his bride. This usually involves games or tasks that range from disgusting to racy. We planned out a few games and they are:- Seaweed passing game (AKA Suck and blow): The groom and the groomsmen will pass seaweed sheets to each other with just their lips. They cannot bite or hold the seaweed between their lips.
Mahjong tiles: The groom will need to take off his shoe & sock. A basin will be filled with ice cold water and an assortment of mahjong tiles. The groom will pick up a few mahjong tiles with only his toes.
Describing or comparing the Bride to an undesirable object/person: We picked out 2 food items. The first one is the durian fruit (shown in the pic). This fruit is infamous for its stinky smell and flavor. In addition, it's shell is hard and prickly. The 2nd object is a slice of porkchop. In Hong Kong's culture, the word porkchop is used to describe a super ugly female. At the same time, the words chophouse or steak house will describe a place full of porkchops (unappealing females). So we're looking forward to see how the groom can take something that's so negative and turn it around to something positive to describe his bride!
Tasty Concoctions: 4 drinks will be prepared to represent the ups and downs of marriage. They include the flavors of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. I've prepared the bitter drink by blending bitter melons w/ just a dash of water (shown in pic). Later this evening I will squeeze out some lemon juice and add it to the apple cider vinegar. Her sister will prepare the concentrated honey and hot sauce drink.
I have to got to bed early tonight since I will be heading to her parent's house early tomorrow. Can't wait!!
