Trivia Today - Wednesday, February 12, 2014

Greetings Infomaniacs,

My best friend is getting married in April and her bridal shower was this past weekend. We had the couple play a game in the Newlywed format, where shower guests wrote down questions to try and stump the married couple-to-be.

One of the questions asked was, "what is your favorite television show to watch together?" They were completely off from each other, as the bride wrote down Game of Thrones and the groom answered Night Court.

It's interesting to see what types of questions people ask. Some other good ones included what the other person was wearing when they met, what day of the week they met, where they had their first kiss, each other's favorite movie, etc.

The guests really loved this game because everyone got involved in the fun, but it is a little risky putting the couple on the spot like that!

Enjoy!
Melissa
