Fetch The Bride

Fetch the bride - your groom's quest for the day



To fetch the bride, your groom and his troop of brothers must remember to bring all necessary items for their quest and complete all the challenges.

Necessary items for the quest
Some family requires a matchmaker to accompany the groom when he arrives at their door to fetch the bride

The matchmaker, or bestman if there is no matchmaker, will carry a red tray containing
  • a piece of raw pork leg which is mum's reward for bringing up the bride,
  • at least four or more, even number of tangerines or oranges for good fortune,
  • some dried persimmons for prosperity,
  • some dried longan in shells for sweetness in the marriage,
  • some dried lotus seeds for having many children,
  • some dried magnolia petals called “pak hup” to wish for hundred years of closeness and happiness in the marriage.
