2008.11.20 – Chinese “pre-wedding games”

Whats going on with the boys???

I have always wanted to share this with our readers, as this is a tradition that somehow never came to the local Hawaii Chinese culture.  It is a tradition to have “pre-wedding games” with the bridal parties and close friends the morning of the wedding.

The bride is separated from the groom (usually locked in a room) and the groom needs to complete various tasks assigned by the girls in order to reach his bride.  The tasks are usually difficult and often embarrassing. The funniest I have seen (from one of my friends’ wedding) was when the boys had to wear the girls shoes (HIGH HEELS!) and walked around the hotel lobby. The groom also had to find 5 random strangers and read his vows to them…

Luckily for all the Chinese grooms in Hawaii, this tradition has never really made it here! Or at least, I haven’t seen it done at any of the local Chinese weddings!
