Wedding door games

One of my close girlfriends will be getting married next weekend and the jie meis have been in discussion of the "wedding door games". I will hesitate at times when it comes to doing this partly cos I cannot convince myself that it makes sense to so call "tekan" the groom and brothers apart from wanting to be part of the whole thing. So what exactly is the purpose of this "wedding door games", is it some kind of Chinese Tradition?

And so I went to surf net and found this...

"Door games originated from ancient time which implies that the bride is a lovely girl and her family and friends do not want to marry her away. The groom will be blocked at the bride's door, and her friends will try to stop him from entering by asking questions about the bride, a way to test if he really cares about her. They may also do other tricks to delay the bride's leaving. The groom will try to buy his way in by presenting "Li Shi", token money wrapped in red envelopes. The entire "bargain" process is joyous and good-natured."

Hmm.. why would need to test? Perhaps true for the olden times where the bride and groom doesn't know each other well or were engaged since birth... haha.. But we can't say this for our generation, we probably pak-tor for many years to finally decide to get married so the door games is to maybe and probably a delay tactic.. it should not be demeaning for the guys.. we will try our best not to do that.. hee.. ;).
