Wedding Game (Shoe Game)

This is a great ice breaker, and gets everyone involved. I found this game originally browsing youtube and it works great for weddings, anniversaries and engagement parties.
Set two chairs back to back in the middle of the dance floor.
Ask the bridal party to stand about 10' in front of the chairs... brides maids/maid of honor on one side and groomsmen/best man on the other.
Have the bride sit in the chair facing her bridesmaids...then have the groom remove both of the brides shoes.
Have the groom then sit in the other chair facing his groomsmen and remove both of his shoes as well
Trade one shoe each so both the bride and groom have one of each of their shoes.
Now you will announce "This game is to show how much the new Mr./Mrs. John and Jane Doe really know about each other... I will ask you a question and you raise the shoe that you think best fits the answer to the question... alright here's a practice question..."Right now, who has the most cash on them?"
Sometimes you'll see some great hesitation faces like their really not sure, or even better when you ask a question like... "Who wears the pants in the family"... Sometimes the bride will put up her shoe, and the groom will put up his. It's hilarious. You'll get high fives, and the families laughing.
What I did is I watched every video I seen of this game and made up a nice list of questions to ask. Here's my list. Get a pen and paper, and don't be afraid to try this, it's a great way to break the ice at a wedding.
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU:
-who is the biggest flirt
-who made the first move
-who's the better cook
-who said "I LOVE YOU" first
-who has the wackiest family
-who's the better driver
-who's the faster driver
-who spends the most time in front of a mirror
-who is in control of the checkbook
-who is most likely to eat desert for breakfast
-who wears the pants in the family
-who is in charge of the remote
-who spends the most time getting ready to go out
-who will be doing most of the yard work
-if you haven't already... who is most likely to pass gas in front of the other first
-now that you're married, who will be the first to say... "not tonight"
-who's the better kisser
-who will be the first to fall asleep tonight
-who has the smelliest feet
-who steals the cover's more
-who popped the question
-who says "I love you" the most in one day
-who talks more

-who's the most likely to wake up grumpy in the morning
-who's most likely to wake up with a hangover in the morning
-who's most likely to be running late

(always ask this next question last)
-and finally... Who do you love the most in the whole wide world...
"There you go ladies and gentlemen, now you know who know's who the most"
