Take up the challenge and prove your love for the bride, say the bridesmaids.
And often, the challenges are accepted by the sporting groom and his band of “brothers” – it does not matter how awkward or embarrassing the tests can get.
Take the case of the groom and his groomsmen trying to retrieve a gummy worm from a bowl of live worms.
The video of the incident went viral and prompted criticism from netizens.
How far can such activities get?
Madam Ayra Quek, 29, recounts how her husband and his nine groomsmen had to eat from a diaper each at their wedding in February.
A concoction of Nutella chocolate and condensed milk, which was made to resemble faeces, was smeared on the 10 diapers.
Mr Amienuddin Abu Bakar, 29, and his entourage had to bury their faces into the diapers and polish them off.
They then lined the diapers which had letters attached to them to spell out “Amien (heart) Ayra”.
Madam Quek, a sales executive, says she only learnt of it during the wedding reception. “When I first watched the wedding video during the dinner reception, I kept saying ‘Oh my God’,” she says.“But I was really touched.”
‘SPORTING’
Madam Quek adds: “My husband and the groomsmen were sporting.”
She reveals that there was a slight culture shock for the men at first.
Of the nine, one is Chinese, another Malay and the rest are Indian.
Madam Quek says: “Because my husband and most of the groomsmen are not Chinese, it was their first time experiencing a Chinese wedding gatecrash. So they did not know how it worked.”
Madam Quek, who is expecting a baby girl next month, adds: “My husband and his groomsmen actually finished all of the things that the bridesmaids made because they did not know that most of the time, people would just dump the food away or play cheat.
“They did everything perfectly.
“All of them took it pretty seriously and they did not know that the games were just to disturb them.”
The men also had to shake off clothespins from their bodies and faces while dancing to music.
Madam Quek says: “They may have received a low score for the games but I know my husband loves me very much.”
