The second day, the couple stood hand in hand as an emotional text was read (Like, you'll be parents one day and see your children's marriage, seeing your little baby growing up, going to school, finding work and a spouse, finally it is a remarkable day for a parent, etc). Then the groom held and lifted the bride to take her to the room, and people were trying to "prevent" him from doing so. My guy very actively took part in this! Some people were late in "preventing" and were laughed at a lot. When they were finally in that small room, they sat on the bed with that red duvet on it. Another cousin of RJ’s had an apple tied with a string, and held it between the two. They were both trying to take a bite from the sides, but that guy was tugging the apple away each time they were trying to do so. In the end the groom, angry at his cousin, grabbed the apple from his hand and fiercely bit both sides of it and gave it back to him. It was very funny. Then we all got bites from that apple.
