Then the bride is directed to bite off the other half in front of the entire wedding party. It builds anticipation among the married couples. In most of the weddings the husbands tease their wives and do not allow then to bite unless they give them a tight kiss. Though an embarrassing moment for shy bride it build in a great passion for the wonderful night ahead.

Search name
The grooms name is hennaed on the bride hand in tiny letter amidst the crisscrossed mehndi. The groom is asked to find his name on the brides hand and give her a gift. This game gives a simple reason for the groom to hold his brides hand and allows the shy bride to feel the warmth of love without any embarrassment.

Pillow Talk
It's a fun game for the couple but enjoyed to the brim by the audience. Here the couple is made to sit with their backs to each other and a pillow held between their shoulders. They are later asked question from the relatives, which is answered only by nodding their heads in yes or no direction. Since they cannot see each other they do not know how the other is responding. The questions are lighthearted like, "Will you rule over him/her?" or "Will you pamper like a child if your partner gets angry?" or " will you kiss your partner now?" or question on their likes and dislikes. According to their score they are also given rankings. The negative scorers are are titled as "I want to know you better-couple" and the high scorers are titled as "Two hearts yet one soul-couple" .

Knotted Strings

It is yet another game that attempts to predict the future relationships of the newly wed couples. The bride and the groom are given a knotted string to unwind by the bridesmaid. The top rule of the game is to use just one hand to meet the ends. If the couple unravel it with greater speed it is claimed that they will face life's struggles and achieve success with greater ease.
