Choice A: For the Bride
Teams must transport two tin containers of sheep's milk on a donkey to two local cheese-makers, who they will exchange a container for cheese. Once they have both cheeses, they can give it to the bride for a plate with their next clue.
All of the teams chose this task.
Choice B: For the Groom
Teams must wear a sporting costume and compete in a footrace with locals up 252 steps and past the church of St. George to a shepherd, who will hand teams a pair of goats. Teams can hand the goats over to the groom for a plate with their next clue.
Teams must drive themselves to the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens to find their next clue.
