I mean nothing… But I always wonder what’s the point of making fun of the grooms and his brothers before allowing him to open the door? Sing song, pumping, eating weird stuffs, doing weird things and etc… I don’t see the point of it. All are just meant to make fun of other people.
Olden days, there were similar stuffs like eating loh mai kai (glutinous rice = glued together) and etc, at least, it means something. But today’s versions? Haihz.
[jason] Greater sense of achievement when there are obstacles. I heard from elders that its to remind the groom that life is full of harships but it’ll be rewarding if enough effort is placed, something like that.
[cherrie] This is normally what a wedding post returns: “So, when’s your turn?”
[jason] The playful thingie by the girls on the guys were meant to bring back tradition. We do it for the sake of tradition. Besides, it makes the wedding livelier and I don’t see why not to do it. In fact, you get the opportunity to get to know the “sisters” as well. LOL.
[cherrie] This is one of those post by April Cherrie which is so full of pictures that 56K users better beware. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I have to say, this post is worth a miliion words. No words, yet I understand the whole proceedings of the wedding. Impressive!
Well, the traditional games are like eating glutinous rice, red eggs, ang ku kueh, over a pot of fire, lime water and etc. But the newer version looks more like making fun of the brothers instead of for the sake of tradition. I don’t mind joining the fun, just that, (when I was one of the brothers) I don’t see the point of drinking a can of coke+tomato sauce+lime+chili sauce+oyster+soy sauce+wasabi+don’t-know-what; followed by do a pole dancing in front of the gate, opening a durian with a spoon and etc.
Wahhh..everyone looked so happy.
Lovely couple =)
