The Groom Has to Promise to Take Care of the Bride One the morning of the wedding day, the very first thing that happens is for the groom to pick the bride up from her house. Before the groom sees the bride, he has to kneel down in front of the bride's parents and promise them that he will take good care of their daughter. After that the groom is allowed to take the bride to the car which is waiting outside the house. Then the whole day ceremony will begin. Stanley Chen

 

Tests and Games for the Bridegroom

In Taiwan, a bridesmaid and best man are not necessary in a traditional wedding because usually the parents will play these roles. The bride and bridegroom can not see each other the day before the wedding. Friends will design some games or tests and the bridegroom has to pass them before he can take his wife to get married. For example, friends will ask the groom about the bride's private things. If he answers correctly, he can go on to the next game, but if he doesn't pass the game, he has to give money to everyone and then he can go to the next step of the game playing. Those friends want to teach the groom it is not so easy for a man to get married to a beautiful woman. Wan-Pei Chang (Vania)
