Game ideas for a Wedding

[FightThem]

Hi!
I have a party with 4 dwarfs and one of them will marry (a dwarven women). I want to let them play a wedding party game but cannot come up with a good one.

Any ideas?

Do you mean you need ideas for a session built around the wedding?

- Challenger for the dwarven woman's hand. The groom needs to head off the challenger, either through ritual combat or some other deterrent.

- The dwarven bride's father invokes an ancient dwarven custom: the groom must prove his worth in tests of courage and skill. Maybe the groom needs to journey to a hallowed dwarven site, defeat the guardian, and forge a ritual item.

- The dwarven bride is abducted, preferably by an old enemy of the party. Or the future in-laws. Maybe both.

- The clan priests forbid the marriage, based on a nuance of consaguinity between the two families. They will only reverse their decision (based on a "thorough review" of dwarven marriage law) if the groom and his companions perform certain assignments for the clan priests, both before and after the wedding, no questions asked.

Have a dwarven elder tell a tale. Every time the elder uses a particular word (or phrase), each member of the wedding party must down a pint of ale. [Does not include guests, unless they want to be included.] Last one standing gets a prize.

1. they need to forge special items, like rings, for the wedding - challenges around getting the McGuffins to make the items

2. an old villain crashes the wedding; comedy hijinks ensue

3. the gods do not approve of the union and create some Odysseus level challenges to separate bride and groom

4. a demon shows up and says that the groom has to "sell" the happiness of their marriage to save some significant other of the groom's - bonus points if the significant other is named Aunt May

5. a female rival uses some crazy magic to try to steal the groom away from his lady love at the altar

6. some guy shows up at the glass window behind the balcony of the church and pounds on it, screaming to object

7. the priest actually curses instead of blesses their union; so begins an elaborate series of challenges to undo the curse since it is so powerful Remove Curse won't work

8. Fey pranks!

9. dance performances at the reception - skill challenges abound

10. dueling beards

11. the marriage ceremony itself is actually an elaborate series of challenges which must be performed by the bride and her wedding party on one hand, and the groom and his groomsmen on the other; the final challenge involves both teams working together towards some common goal

12. nothing terrible happens; you and the players role-play a beautiful day, filled with joy overflowing and culminating in the most perfect moments the groom has ever experienced to this point in his life and now that he's had these moments he can never imagine his world without her in it...
