Posted by Gate crash, also called the door knocking game is my favorite part of a Chinese wedding, it is challenging, fun, and unforgettable! Early in the morning of the wedding day, the groom and his best men will come to the bride’s place to pick her up. Well, picking her up is definitely not a 5 minutes job! In order to test the groom and make it unforgettably difficult, the bridesmaids prepare a lot of challenges before they open the door so that the groom can see the bride. At my sister’s wedding, I enjoyed it so much because the guys would have to do all the things we asked, it was just so funny!
Typically the modern challenges include:
a. Bribe the brides mates with red money bags
Red bag, also called red packet, is a red bag with a certain amount of money, it is very popular in China on all kinds of occasions such as a new year, birthday, wedding gift money, and here the gate crash challenge money. Nowadays, due to life digitization, even on the mobile app, you can send virtual red bags(with some credit) to other people. I will write about the innovation of WeChat app in the future.
b. Sing a song to express your love at a Chinese wedding
c. Do some physical movements
Mostly, the groom and his best men will be asked to do 30 push-ups or so.
d. Eat some disgusting stuff
The bridesmaids prepare some wired stuff and ask the groom and his best men to eat, the food is normally good, just looks wired.
e. Answer some difficult questions
The groom has to answer some questions such as “what is the ID number of the bride”, or “when is the first time you kissed the bride” and so on…
