Picture this: You’re about to get married, and everything seems perfect. But then, your fiancée drops a bombshell on you – there’s a bizarre family tradition that involves putting a ball and chain on the groom during the reception as a “joke.” Would you go along with it, or would you put your foot down and risk calling off the wedding?
