Our Wedding 08.04.08 - The Games

The Games
The Guys
My girls put a red ribbon across the front of the door to act like a line that the guys could not cross and it also looked very nice too.
They first made Dave put on a silly outfit which was a black Elvis type wig with a vest vest which had a 6 pack drawn on it and a hairy chest. The back of the vest had the words “I’m a property of Sally So” and to complete the outfit he had a blinging gold chain which had “Who’s the Daddy” on it.
The Hing dai’s also had something to wear. The night before, Fion and Pauline were customising some pants for the guys. They had red hearts on the front and my name on the back.
As with most Chinese Weddings, the guys are meant to go through 4 stages, sweet, sour, bitter and hot. My girls had prepared a nice breakfast for the guys hahaha first up it was the wasabi buns which was just a starter. Fion had baked the Wasabi buns by hand and she put a good helping of the wasabi in the centre.
The sweetness was a bowl of Orange Jelly and Maple syrup which was deadly sweet.
The sourness was lemon wedges with the juice from a bottle of jalapenos
The bitterness was a mug of strong cold black coffee
The hotness was a bowl of jalapenos
After the food and drink, my gee mui’s demanded 3 guys to get their legs waxed. Pauline waxed the 2 best men first, Martin and Dickie.
Then Hing was nominated to have his leg waxed. Dickie decided to wax it for him and ripped it off so fast that there was still wax on Hing’s leg.
Next came the group sing along which Fion printed out the lyrics for the Savage Garden song - Truly Madly Deeply. The guys didn’t even sing in unison, all I could hear from my bedroom was them mumbling to the song.
Dave had to do a solo aswell. Fion chose a song by Adam Sandler from the film ‘The Wedding Singer’. Its called ‘Grow Old with you’ but Dave had no idea what the song went like so it was really funny, hearing him attempt to sing it.
My Gee Muis of course wouldn’t let Dave through without first shouting “I love Sally” to me and also getting the lai see from him and his Hing dai’s
Lastly he had to read a pledge to me at the bottom of the stairs before he came up to get me and give me my bouquet.
My train was so long that Dave couldn’t walk down the stairs with me, he had to wait behind me

Hi! My cousin is getting married late August of 08. I am the maid of honor. We are also Chinese. I needed to come up with some games for the guys so I decided to web surf and found this site. I have to say, I’m learning a lot more about the Chinese culture. It seems like your wedding as so much fun. Everyone looked beautiful. Where are you guys located? We’re from Jersey.
