My good friend recently had a bridal shower, and I was put in charge of choosing a game. It was a no-brainer, since there’s one game that always works…

The Newlywed Game! Have you guys played it at showers? Basically, you ask the groom beforehand (just over email) a bunch of questions about himself, her and their relationship. Then, at the shower, you ask the bride the same questions and see if their answers match up. It’s always totally endearing and funny and helps everyone get to know them as a couple.

Here are the questions I asked my friend’s fiance:

QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU:
What’s your favorite food?
What’s your least favorite food?
What’s your “drink”?
Where would you go on vacation tomorrow, if money/weather were no object?
What’s the best meal you’ve cooked for your significant other?
Are you a city mouse or country mouse?
What’s your favorite restaurant?
Which three things would you bring to a desert island?
What’s your most annoying habit?
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
What’s your favorite movie?
What’s your favorite book?
If your partner were to throw out one piece of your clothing, what would it be?
