"The man can carry her anyway he chooses (or any way she lets him) - piggyback, baby-rocker, fireman's carry (over the shoulder), or for the most serious of competitors, Estonian-style (the wife hangs upside-down with her legs around the husband's shoulders, holding onto his waist)."

The lady and I took a "tactical" first aid course and one small part of it was carrying the injured other out of the "kill zone" if necessary, so we should totally be able to do this no problem...

The bride weighs 120 or so, so this would certainly be doable.

It's my understanding this is a lighthearted "church" version of the actual Euro event where you get the wife's weight in alcoholic beer.
I'd rather do that competition. |

Respectfully? Seriously?
Otherwise, that sounds awesome and I wish my wife weighed enough for us to compete.
