your link didn't work.

I got 16 right out of 20.

Couple I had no clue and guessed.

I have been called Dangerous on more than one occasion.

People here don't pay attention to what side people are supposed to be on. I see it's 50% right arm, or seating on the right, and 50% left arm or seating on left.

I got 10, do I get a prize...? :sqlaugh:



I'm kinda partial to a Craftsman 22 HP lawn tractor :sqbiggrin:

hey Cam does your reply reveal a poor score? LOL

Go with something other than Craftsman and you'll be able to use it next year too! :)

Honestly I had 16 out of 20 I was just commenting on things are different in different areas of the country.

okay so you are my Dangerous friend then. Cool!!

things are different in different areas of the country.


It's true.
If you're south of the equator the groom spins left as he passes out.

I had 15 out of 20 I guess I did OK. )

I got 17 outta 20! Does that mean I'd make some feller a nice husband? "I wish I could quit ya'll"!

I got 17 outta 20!

That's puts you near the head of the class!

Currently:

Average score is: 15 (14.94)

Low score is: 11
High score is: 18


FYI: I only got 19 - and I'm the one who made up the questions !!

A lot of the questions and answers are a matter of opinion, I think.

Tradition is no longer the standard when it comes to weddings.

What source of information was used to develop the questions and then the answers?

That was lots of fun. I got 14 out of 20 correct.

Moderate. You're in the safe zone, masculine but with a soft side.

That's me, fer sure!!!

A lot of the questions and answers are a matter of opinion, I think.

Tradition is no longer the standard when it comes to weddings.

But that's the point. The quiz is about tradition - not practice.

Tradition by definition is not a matter of opinion - it's a matter of history, religion, region, and ethnicity, etc.

What traditions you decide to adopt or discard at your own wedding would be a matter of opinion.

You have to take into account the majority culture where the quiz is being originated. That is: United States, Northeast, English, Christian.

Thus, if you apply Jewish tradition to this quiz you will get at least one question wrong. Similar issues will pop up with other world cultures and religions.

There is one question that may have a valid argument either way, and the quiz takes the most commonly accepted practice. However, few people would ever notice the difference.

The quiz is intended to poke fun at the ineptness of the "typical male" when it comes to their interest or comfort level with all those "little" wedding details. I'm surprised the average score is only 15 among DJs - must be because we're mostly men.

It would be interesting to see how the women do. Maybe I could get some "Knotties" to give it a try.

I got 16 correct.

Had to think about the left-right for a moment, though. These traditions are simply old-school etiquette ~ a gentleman always walks to a lady's left, for example. The seating part I'd forgotten... was drawing on memory from receptions.

My old grandma used to do a lot of entertaining. Old South entertaining, lol. She was quite particular about these things. :)

If anyone wants too chime in -

There are two questions I'd like too know how you responded and why so that I can refine the actual wording of the question.

They are:

You should urge the bride to include mom's planning ideas.

and

Some wedding dresses make your fiance' look heavier.


P.S.:
If you toss out these two questions (which are relational humor not tradition) the averge grade is a B- (83%)

I'm working now on a new DVD for "average" DJs I'm calling the "17% solution."

I got 16 as well

Wow... those are loaded questions if there ever were any. :D

You should urge the bride to include mom's planning ideas.

The smart groom will urge his bride to include Mom's planning ideas. The last thing ya wanna do is alienate the mum-in-law before the wedding. :eek:

There will be plenty of time for that later, anyway. It's inevitable. ;)

Some wedding dresses make your fiance' look heavier.

Any man in his right mind will never say that. To be honest, a well tailored wedding dress enhances the bride's beauty.

Thoughts?

It's a fun test.

11: It's the groom's job to get the bride to her shower ONLY if it's a Jack and Jill (men and women jointly attending). If it's women only, it's the Maid Of Honor's job, or in her absence, the next ranking bridesmaid or sister of the bride.

15: That's a spelling test question. Fiancé (one "e") is the guy. Fiancée (two "e"s) is the girl. If a gay wedding, either answer is acceptable.

19: If a day wedding (less formal than an evening or black tie ceremony), a pocket scarf and boutonnière can be worn together as long as the groom is wearing a suit and the color choices of both do not clash. But again, the questions are based on "tradition" and tradition says not both. FYI: Military weddings in uniform state that neither are allowed.

Fun test. I blew questions 2 (no excuses), 19 (see above), and 15 (missed the trick question spelling catch...sorry Bryan!)

I got a 15.

Mis-read one and two others are subjective.

WaydeWest: Which two did you find subjective? Just curious.

OK, actually one. I didn't catch the spelling issue with Fiancé.

"You should urge the bride to include mom's planning ideas."
Ok, maybe not urge, but she should at least let her feel involved. However this can go either way depending on the B2B's relationship with her mom.

11: It's the groom's job to get the bride to her shower ONLY if it's a Jack and Jill (men and women jointly attending). If it's women only, it's the Maid Of Honor's job, or in her absence, the next ranking bridesmaid or sister of the bride.

Often, it is the MOH (friend) who hosts the shower (family members are not supposed to host a shower since it appears self-serving). But it is the grooom who's supposed deliver the bride to the party - though he's not supossed to stay unless its' a Jack & Jill.

Having the groom deliver her also preserves the element of surprise since she'll never know when he's taking her on a date vs bringing her to the shower.

That rarely resembles what happens today because so many families are split over longer distances and being out of town makes it's often easier if a family member plans the party, etc. People's schedules and activities these days often make a "surprise" difficult to manage.

This is a groom's quiz: It's your mom - not the brides.

So what do you do now?


Also, finace' is not a trick question about gay weddings. It's just a fluke of my spell checking. Thanks for pointing that out.

I only got 15 right, Coreen got 17 right.....

Congratulations!

Which two questions appear to be messing up? I can check them to see if there is a contradiction error between the quiz form and the confirmation.

I didn't find any errors - perhaps you used the back/forward button in your browser and where looking at a previous result?
