What are the 10 promises in a gatecrash?

At the bride's door, the groom reads ten promises to her out loud. They go from silly (never leave wet towels on the bed) to serious (care for her parents like his own). The sisters decide if he means it, and keep the signed card.

Should the promises be funny or serious?

Both. Start with a few funny ones to get the corridor laughing and end with two or three serious ones. The last promise is the one the bride remembers.

Who writes the promises?

Usually the sisters prepare the card and the groom reads it on the spot, or the groom writes them the night before. Either way, the bride should see the list first so nothing embarrasses her parents.

How long does it take?

About four minutes. It fits in the Voice lock of the gatecrash, alongside singing or saying I love you in five languages.
