Traditionally, the groom must complete a few challenges before he can enter and meet his bride.

The bride-pickup challenges (often called wedding gate games) are fun activities prepared by the bridesmaids or the bride’s family to gently test the groom’s love, sincerity, and determination before he takes his bride home.

This is a common tradition that brings a joyful, playful atmosphere and helps everyone connect. The challenges often include light-hearted tasks such as:

• Sweet & sour / drinking challenges: tasting special foods or drinking games

• Knowledge questions: answering questions about the couple’s love story

• Finding the bride or her wedding shoe: searching for symbolic signs of love

These challenges symbolise overcoming difficulties together in married life ahead.
