Newlywed Game

The Newlywed Game actually does not stem from the 70's television show as we often lead people to believe.  Probably because we play the theme song for it prior to starting this crazy little battle of who knows the other one better.  It actually stems from an ancient Chinese wedding ritual.  I will get into Chinese wedding games later on but for now just take my advice; some are really raunchy.  The Newlywed Game is one of the cleanest and funniest of all the Chinese wedding games.

Now as for appropriateness of this little show and tell about each other, that is entirely up to you.  The game works like this: The DJ ask the bride and groom to the dance floor, ask them to remove their shoes, and take one of the brides shoes and one of the grooms shoes in their hands.  Each has two shoes, one groom shoe and one bride shoe.  They are asked to raise their shoes in the air in response to a series of questions about how well they really know each other.

Phillip & Lindsay Money answer questions by raising the grooms shoe in the air during the Newlywed Game. Must have been the question about washing dishes.  LOL!

The fun begins when the DJ ask a question and both raise their own shoe in the air.  You have to be there and see it but we sometimes find out that they don't always agree on things like the First Kiss, Children, Driving, and household duties.  This is sometime hilarious and even funnier when the bride whacks him in the head with a shoe. Not advisable unless you are wearing flip flops, plus you don't want your groom going to the honeymoon with a headache.

This has been a real fun favorite at the majority of weddings I have performed.  It also adds spice to the toast, by the way I advise you to break the monotony of the dinner and do this right before the toast.  It will give them something to talk about and everyone will be relaxed and in a really good mood after this.

Try the Newlywed game, you won't regret it, and make sure you get it on video too.
