The Wedding Shoe Game
A game that is practised the world over, but in India has gained traction recently. After the ceremony, the couple sits back-to-back and is handed one footwear of the partner. Then the emcee proceeds to ask the couple various questions like who likes to wake up early in the morning, who likes to cook, etc. in a bid to test how well they know their partner. To answer, they must raise the shoe of the person who they believe is the answer to the question! It is guaranteed to bring about laughter, and thoroughly entertain the crowd!

Joota Chupai Rasam
And of course, how can we forget the most famous wedding ritual of them all? The joota chupai! Even as we watched Madhuri Dixit rock the moves in the famous song, this ritual is the most beloved and iconic of all wedding rituals. The sisters of the bride, cousins and siblings all together steal the groom's shoes and refuse to return them till he pays for them appropriately. The negotiations are wild, fun, and break down walls between the families as they have now joined as one!
