Redemption of the bride: features, advice on preparation and implementation

No wedding is complete without the traditional bride price. Modern newlyweds are trying to arrange an unforgettable and original celebration that will be remembered by everyone for a long time. Therefore, the ransom of the bride should be unusual. We have some original ideas that we are in a hurry to share with you.

A wedding is not just a celebration. This is a whole event that should be prepared with great care. As a rule, the celebration is divided into several interesting stages, among which a special place is occupied by such a wedding ceremony as the ransom of the bride.

The tradition of redeeming a bride appeared a long time ago. Of course, in those distant old times, this rite was taken very seriously. It is now modern lovers who come up with various funny tests, develop funny scenarios and do their best to have fun from the heart. And before, the guy had to offer rare and unusual items for the girl so that the beloved would become his wife. As a ransom, they often gave animal skins, land, jewelry, and even stopped the enmity.

In ancient times, the ceremony itself consisted of two stages. Initially, the guy had to come with expensive gifts, which were put in chests, to the parents of his beloved. Chests were usually filled with rare and expensive fabrics, linens, jewelry, and precious coins. The girl's relatives, having considered all the boy's offerings, decided whether to give his daughter for him or not. If the parents were unhappy with the gifts, they could kick the guy out of the yard.

This was followed by the second stage of the ransom, which included a change of the bride. As a rule, an adult woman was hidden behind a dense canvas, and a young bride was hidden behind a second canvas. The groom had to guess which of the two women was his bride. If he guesses right, the wedding will take place. And if not, then there will be no holiday.

Of course, over time, everything has changed dramatically. Nowadays, bride price is more of a joke event.

In modern times, you can conduct a bride ransom in absolutely any style. For example, in the medical, in the style of a fairy tale or a quest, in the style of the traffic police, brides bureau or even a court session. Of course, not everyone wants to combine the theme of police and medicine with a festive event, so you can think of something more original. The main thing is that it is a short, modern, thematic and carefully thought-out script. Then it will be a real fun adventure not only for the bride and groom, but also for all participants in this ceremony.

In the event that you know for sure which fairy tale or movie the bride and groom love, then you can arrange a ransom in this style. For example, you can take as a basis a fairy tale that every girl loves from childhood. Of course, we are talking about "Cinderella". True, in this case, the tasks that the stepmother gave to Cinderella can be entrusted to the groom. For example, he can separate rice from beans. And the task with the shoe will be the final one. Among the variety of women's shoes, the guy will have to find his bride's shoe.

If young people are very fond of traveling, then why not arrange a ransom for them in the style of an unusual journey. Before finding his bride, a guy will have to go through a series of tests. To begin with, he will have to answer a variety of questions: what is the favorite country of his bride, where she dreams of visiting, etc. You can also include questions about the capitals or national dishes of a particular country. In addition, contests can also be directly related to travel. For example, you can ask the groom to quickly pack a suitcase and pack all the necessary things. Or he will have to put bulky things in a small travel bag.

Very often, modern weddings are organized in a nautical style. In this case, the ransom can also be organized in a given style. Of course, the questions for the groom should be about fishing. You can prepare pictures of various fish in advance and the groom will have to guess their names. Guessed it - climbs a step up. No - then you have to pay. It is also possible to arrange a mini fishing trip for the groom. By catching each fish and putting it in a bucket, he will have to say one affectionate word for his bride. It will also be possible to prepare a poster with fish. In order to draw a fish, you will need to circle your palm. Among the various fish-palms, the guy will have to find the palm of his beloved.

It is quite possible to arrange court-style ransom. But for this it will be necessary to prepare the appropriate speech and costumes. The witness can put on the costume of a judge and begin her speech with the following words: "You (the name of the groom) are accused of stealing the heart (insert the name of the bride here)." As a result, the groom will have to perform a variety of tasks in order to prove to everyone that he has the best intentions and sincere feelings.

The preparation itself for the buyout itself takes a little time. The main thing is that the witness already has a ready-made script in her hands, all the necessary details have been prepared. Then it will take an hour or two to get ready.

Before the arrival of the groom and all his cheerful company of friends, you will have enough time to prepare the bride, explain the scenario to all the participants in the ransom and define each role.

In order for the planned event to go well, you should listen to the following tips and act clearly according to the plan.

• Be sure to beautifully and festively decorate the gate at the house or the front door of the apartment in advance. You can decorate with the most common and simple method: using balloons, flowers and multi-colored ribbons. Various posters with hilarious jokes about ransom, wedding or family life will also look great. Thus, already approaching the house of his beloved, the groom and his whole company will be able to recharge with a positive.

• If necessary, it is imperative to prepare a table with treats for the guy and his friends in advance. In the event that the wedding takes place during the cold season, then the table can be moved to the hallway of the house so as not to keep the guests in the cold for a long time.
• The ransom of the bride is the very custom during which the witness, along with other bridesmaids, will take money from the groom. Therefore, we recommend preparing a beautiful box for this in advance. You can arrange any box yourself by pasting it with wrapping paper. By the way, it will be better if only one person is responsible for the box with the money. This is necessary so that after the ransom money is not lost and not lost.
• Since the script should already be in the hands of the witness, all the necessary details should be prepared in advance. Think carefully and mentally go through all the actions, all the contests. And, accordingly, prepare all the necessary props. Bridesmaids will help with this, since there must be one responsible person for each competition, otherwise everything will look protracted and disorganized.

As a rule, the bride's witnesses are involved in the organization and conduct of the ransom. Everything is organized by the girl who will be a witness in the registry office, and the rest of the girlfriends or relatives of the hero of the occasion can actively help.

Having decided on those who will take an active part in the competitions and in the ransom itself, you should write the names into the script. Each friend should know her words, she should learn jokes, riddles and other necessary text well.

When organizing a bride buy-out, remember that the whole process should not be delayed for a long time. When everything happens for a long time, then the interest in the event itself already disappears. The best option is twenty minutes from start to finish. It is very important to think over everything to the smallest detail and in the process of the ransom itself involve everyone present, otherwise friends or girlfriends may get bored.

Before performing the traditional bride price, the witness should read the greeting to the groom. A lot of original greetings can be found on the Internet. The greeting can be in verse or prose. It's not that important, the main thing is that it is funny. This will allow the whole company from the very first minutes to be charged with positive and tune in to the right wave.

In the event that the witness is afraid to forget her greeting words, you can proceed as follows. You can write the text on paper in advance and make an original scroll out of it. Then it will look quite interesting and the witness will definitely not forget her words.

Some of the contests can be held at the gate or at the entrance, and the rest, the final contests should already be held at home or in an apartment. Remember to keep the contests and assignments simple. For example, if the groom has no voice and hearing, then he is unlikely to sing songs.And if he decides to take such a step for the sake of his beloved, then everything will look, to put it mildly, ridiculous. Therefore, tasks should be harmless, this is important. In addition, contests with alcoholic beverages should be excluded.

When the groom already gets to the cherished door, behind which his beloved is waiting, then he must necessarily take an oath of love and fidelity. In order not to embarrass the guy and not to take him by surprise, you can prepare the text of the oath for him in advance. By the way, the oath can be printed in the form of a beautiful diploma and framed. Then you can make a similar diploma with an oath for the bride, and the young people will be able to exchange vows, and the diplomas will remain as a keepsake and will decorate one of the walls of their house.

In order for the ransom to go through as if in one breath, you should prepare the most fun and simple contests. Remember that when coming up with tests for the groom, you must take into account the peculiarities of his character, so as not to put him in an awkward position and not embarrass him.

We have some original ideas that will definitely come in handy for you.

• At the entrance or in the corridor of the house, you can pull a small rope to which you should attach photographs. Photos must be for children. To do this, you need baby photos of the bride, her relatives or bridesmaids. To make it easier to attach photos, and then take them, use the most common clothespins. The challenge for the groom is that among the variety of children's faces he must find his bride. If he finds it, he can safely proceed to the next task, and if not, then he will have to pay.
• And here is another interesting task, which is suitable if the bride lives in a multi-storey building. Right at the entrance, the groom needs to be handed crayons. On each step, he must write an affectionate word for his bride. At the same time, it is important that it does not repeat itself once. The young guy can be helped in this difficult task by his faithful friends.
• You can also give the groom a small test survey to find out how well he knows his beloved. For this, you can prepare various questions in advance. For example, what size of shoes does his bride wear, what day of the week they met, when is the future mother-in-law's birthday, etc.
