Wife-carrying championship

Couples from across the country gather in Maine to crown a new national Wife-carrying Champion.

Racers ready, 3,2,1, go!
This is a competition that takes strength, agility and yes, a good sense of humor.
"Strategies from Joyce, to try on to laugh the whole time, 'cause that makes me laugh."
Seriously, it's tough to watch the north American Wife-carrying championships without cracking a smile.
"That's really a fun."
"Yeah."
Sure, if your idea of fun is hoping your husband doesn't splash in the face, or knock your head against the log when he runs.
Watch your head!
Or from his perspective, navigating in the obstacle pools with at least 100 pounds on his back.
And XXX mention the supportive crowds.
"They want them to fall and XXX."
Still, Kevin and Joyce Quiros believe this is the perfect way to end their honeymoon.
"May for the wedding, and now we are like, pretty much lose weight from other junk created in your honeymoon."
Ri Fahnestock and Sarah Silverberg actually suggested this to their friends Austin Stonebrake and Carey Garad as a good bonding activity.
"XXX take the lead!"
They may have got a little carried away with the competition. Believe it or not, the two couples took the first and the second place.
"We XXX them, I don't know what we were thinking."
"I don't know what we were thinking either."
"XXX the winner today!"
Now what they're thinking is :"What do we do with all these beer?"
The winner takes home the wife's weight in Bud Light.
"So when you see Silverberg driving by with four cases..."
Guess the heavy lifting is not over yet.
