An unusual scenario of bride price - a scenario of unusual redemption
The rite of bride price purchase went down in the history of the Slavs for a very, very long time. According to all traditions, this witness should be engaged in this ritual. It is she who composes contests, thinks out difficult questions and assignments for her future husband, escorts him to the bride's room, if, of course, he passes all the tests and difficulties. All this must be accompanied by a sea of jokes, poems and humorous remarks, so that the whole life of the newlyweds is cheerful and happy.
General rules
Redemption can be called an integral part of the wedding ceremony. Such a tradition came from antiquity, while the bride, leaving for the groom's house, left the parental home. So, the mother and father lost their main assistant. Therefore, the bride and groom began to redeem their brides from their parents with the help of expensive gifts.
At first it was grain, horse cows and other insanely useful things in the household. The more wealthy the bridegroom was, the more valuable gifts he gave to the bride.
Such traditions were many centuries ago. At the same time, ransom acts only as a fun entertainment for guests and newlyweds. But he had the main task - to check the groom for ingenuity and courage.
Remember that the ransom should not be too long, enough and half an hour. If you calculate that the house in which the ransom is carried out consists of 10 floors, it means that only 4-5 minutes are allocated for each span.
This time will be enough for about 2 tests. Just do not too much "torture" the groom, it is better to let the competitions be relaxed and cheerful.
If the witness knows that the groom does not like and hesitate to sing, in no case should not be tested, where he will have to demonstrate his vocal skills. It can ruin the mood of a young man for the rest of the evening.
Unconventional bride-buying scenario
Do not want the traditional redemption, which already experienced a huge number of people? Then your only way out is to make a ransom unusual and not like everyone else.
How about redemption in the style of antiquity, returning a couple of centuries ago? It will be very beautiful and original. Dress your girlfriends in national costumes, give the groom an embroidered shirt.
Another interesting and unusual version of the ransom: "bride-puzzle".At the entrance of the house the girlfriend of the bride and the witness meet the groom. Their next task is to explain to the groom that the ransom is very important and carries a certain strength. Such a ceremony will make the life of the newlyweds happy and rich.
The bridegroom will receive the bride only after she has collected a special puzzle. In his role will be a photo of his future beautiful wife. To get each of the pieces of the puzzle, the groom will need to perform one test.
Sample script
The first contest
The bride must first choose his favorite song, which in the first contest will have to be sung to the groom. As mentioned above, such a contest can only be offered to the groom who you know for sure will not hesitate to sing.
The witness should take care of that future husband at least a little, but knew the song. Otherwise, he just will not be able to sing it. If you want to simplify the groom's task, you can create a musical accompaniment.
But there is a catch: in order to sing a song, the groom will have to redeem the microphone. The words of the song can be given out as a special bonus. So, the young man is already ready to sing, opens his mouth. .. and what?
As it turned out, the melody is not at all what it should be( the main thing is that everyone knows it).There is no other way out for the groom and he has to sing what he has. It will look a bit ridiculous, but it's very funny.
The second contest
He is for the groom's friends. In order to get the second part of such an important puzzle, they will have to name the good qualities of the groom. But everything is not so simple, my friend and other girls should hinder them in every way. It would seem a fairly simple competition. That's just to do all this with a mouth full of sweets.
The third contest
This competition is called "steep staircase".At the groom quite simple at first glance, the task: climbing the stairs to the required floor, answer the questions asked. One step is one question. In order to hold such a contest, the bride must first have a look at all the questions and give his own answer to them.
The girlfriends of the bride, who will hold the contest, will compare how well the groom knows her lover. At the end of the competition, he gets the third part of the puzzle.
The fourth competition
Hang in front of the door a large cloth flap, with a heart drawn on it. The task of the groom is to cut this heart and present it to his beloved. But there is a problem: there are no scissors. Here and there are bridesmaids who offer to buy them for a fairly high price.
To conduct a ransom, the girlfriends will need: a photo of the bride, a microphone, lyrics, a disc with the wrong melody, a cloth flap, candy.
