And then it was time for the games. Dona and I had been looking forward to this, but we had no idea what to expect -- except we knew it would be good.

The first event was a relay race, with relationship challenges every step of the way. As Ram explained the rules, "Cheating and bribery were not discouraged." These were my kind of games.

Ram, the Grand Poo-bah, gave game instructions
First, you had to "Get Hitched"


Then there was a Ring Exchange	A First Kiss


Cake Cutting included Finding a Jelly Bean	The Dance ...	... something all the girls knew from Way Back

The Garter Toss


The Ball And Chain	Start of the Long Haul

And then, it was our turn.


	Team A ties the knot ...	... mostly It held even in hard times!


Kissing the Bride

Cuting the Cake


Tossing the garter from way too close	Looks like team A is in it for the long haul

Team B was our team, and we cleaned up. Then team C took off.


Whoops, their knot wasn't so good	But they were still together at the end.


They were great kissers!


Champs at eating cake	And they too were in it for the long haul.

After the relay race, we had a bird watching and identification challenge. Ram and Dawn had placed carved, painted birds of different species all over the place. Half of them were Ram's favorites, and half were Dawn's. Our job was to find and identify them. Fortunately, for the non-birders and the birders-at-heart but with dubious i.d. skills, they all wore nametags. After finding them all, we had to identify which were Ram's favorites, which were Dawn's, and which were both.

Checking Birds

The last of the games was a jeopardy game. Five categories, one of which was Ram and Dawn. One question was "who loves birds more?" See, the chicken thing way back there was important! Another category related to bird relationships. And them some obscure things like famous weddings, which I was useless for.
