In Ireland the old traditional roles are reversed with women proposing to men and Austin's most popular ping pong destination is honoring that at its Saturday Night House Party. FOX 7 Austin's Jacqueline Sarkissian has details.

There's no cover to attend and you can participate in the dance class for free. Food, beverage and ping pong tables are available for purchase.
