The Wedding Shoe Game

How well do you know your spouse?

Besides being on the radio, I've been a wedding disc-jockey for more than 20 years. I know all the words to "Y-M-C-A." I can teach your guests how to Dougie, do the Wobble, the Cupid Shuffle, the Cha Cha and/or Electric Slide. I've been doing this long enough to remember when we always had to do the "Chicken Dance" and the gator to "Takin' Care of Business." (I've even done a wedding for the same groom twice.)

I've seen it all from the stereotypical bridezilla to belligerent father-of-the-groom. I've seen "that guy" dancing with the garter on his head many times. (Hell, I've been that guy.) I've talked with the guests with exotic tastes in music that are sure the bridal party wants to hear Scandanavian death metal or some Gene Pitney b-side from 1963.

This weekend, I saw something new, something fun, something that I really liked: The Shoe Game.

After dinner, the Bride and Groom sat back-to-back on the dance floor. Each took off a single shoe and traded it with their new soulmate. I asked questions and the newlyweds responded by raising the shoe of the person that best fit the answer: their own or their partner's.

Sometimes the agreed, but it was much more fun when they didn't.

These are the questions we used for The Shoe Game:

1. Who made the first move?
2. Who said "I Love You" first?
3. Who wears the pants in the relationship?
4. Who is the better driver?
5. Who is messier?
6. Who is better at keeping secrets?
7. Who takes longer to get ready?
8. Who does the cat like the most?
9. Who is grumpier in the morning?
10. Who is better in the kitchen?
11. Who has the wackiest family?
12. Who is more sociable?
13. Who's more likely to get lost?
14. Who hogs the bed more?
15. Who is always right?
16. Who has better taste in music?
17. Who dances better?
18. Who is more forgetful?
19. Who complains more?
20. Who cleans more?
21. Who would most likely end up in jail?
22. Who spends the most money?
23. Who is the biggest baby when they get sick?
24. Finally, who do you love most in the world right now?
