How to play

  1. The couple sit back to back so they can't see each other.
  2. Each partner holds one of their own shoes and one of their partner's.
  3. The host reads a question, and each partner raises the shoe of the person they think fits.
  4. Guests cheer when they agree and laugh when they don't. End with a sweet question such as "Who fell in love first?".

Who wins

No winner; it's a show for the guests.

Variations

Use paddles with each partner's face instead of shoes. Have long-married couples play too at an anniversary.
