Instructions
Step 1
Traditionally, after registering a marriage, the newlyweds go to the house of the groom's parents, because they accept the young wife into their family. If weather conditions permit, meet the young at the entrance or at the gate, if you are the happy owners of a private house. This will allow you not to create a crowd in the hallway, because the newlyweds will not come alone, but with guests. It should be short and soulful. Congratulate the children on the wedding, tell them how glad you are to see the young people, that you bless their union. If newlyweds are believers, bless them with an icon. This should remind young people of the spirituality and strength of the Christian family.
Step 2
Meet the young with bread and salt. A wedding loaf is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Purchase it or bake it yourself. The loaf is placed on a towel - a special towel with an ornament. Invite the young to take turns bite off the loaf, whoever bites off more will be the leader in the family. Then the newlyweds should dip pieces of loaf in salt and treat each other. So they “salt each other, so as not to salt in the future married life. Walk around the rest of the guests who have arrived and treat them to a wedding loaf. This will start the hospitality of the newly created family. Offer the young a drink to wash down the salty loaf. After the newlyweds have drunk, they must break the glasses for good luck, throwing them over their left shoulder. You can not drink to the bottom, but only take a sip, splashing out the remnants of the people.
Step 3
After treating the loaf, invite the young and guests into the house. Prepare rose petals or confetti in advance and ask guests to shower them on the newlyweds on the doorstep. You can arrange a fun competition for the newlyweds, but the test should not be long. remember that the newly made spouse has already passed the ceremony of redemption of the bride. You can perform the following ritual: put the castle on the threshold, and the groom, lifting the bride in his arms, will step over it. Close the lock, and throw the key out of the window - this means that the single life is over forever.
Step 4
Invite young people and guests to the table. Be sure to put champagne on the table. Prepare some light snacks, offer fruits and sweets to your guests. The food should not be plentiful, because the wedding celebration will continue in the restaurant. It is better if the table is set in the form of a buffet table. Raise a toast to the young people, congratulate them and invite the guests to congratulate them. The feast should not last long. Remember that you can give all the instructions and congratulatory speeches during a wedding feast in a restaurant. If suddenly something went wrong as planned, do not get lost and do not worry. The key to a successful holiday is a good mood and sincere love of the newlyweds, and not strict adherence to the script and traditions.
