When Bengali couples get married, the sisters-in-law and the close friends of the groom arrange this game of finding the ring in the marriage halls.

Whoever finds the ring first between the bride and the groom wins the ring.
2. Hiding the Shoe
Hiding the Shoe is another popular Bengali wedding game. In this game, the bride’s sisters and cousins try to steal the shoes of the groom. Once they get it, they keep it hidden in a place where the groom or his friends cannot find it. The bridesmaids then try to negotiate a price at which they will give back the shoe. After they have come to a settlement, they give the shoe back to the groom.
