How you greet the newlyweds will largely depend on how the wedding is organized. Different types of greetings involve celebrations arranged in accordance with traditional Russian rites or organized according to the traditions of other countries. However, in any case, there are several general rules that must be followed.
Instructions
Step 1
Meet the newlyweds with a smile. This may seem like an unnecessary reminder, but the excitement of this day is often so strong that there is no strength left for emotions. Have the courage and support of the newlyweds - they urgently need it.
Step 2
Leave for a meeting in the courtyard of the house if they drive up to the apartment or on the threshold of the restaurant if the celebration takes place there. This is in line with the ancient custom, when the young were greeted at the gate. It was considered a good tradition, and any good omens are worth believing in.
Step 3
Do not go out to a newlywed meeting before your parents greet them. They have the right to be the first to congratulate the young and to hug them. All other guests can only come after them. Decide in advance on the order so that there is no confusion and petty grievances.
Step 4
Consider another good tradition of serving young people with glasses of champagne. Having drained them to the bottom, they must break their cups, because broken dishes will definitely bring happiness to the house.
Step 5
Find an opportunity to present at least a small bunch of flowers to the bride. Surely, both during the wedding and after it, she will be given many flowers, but this one will become special, indicating that all friends and relatives joyfully welcome the new family and are ready to accept her into their large and warm circle.
Step 6
Consider your wedding ceremony in a way that will please the newlyweds. Remember what they love, what they are passionate about, what they like. Forget about all the rules and traditions and remember only one thing: real happiness for a new family will be guaranteed if, when they meet, they will be surrounded by people who love and think about them. And how they will meet - with a loaf or candles, with empty hands or flowers, is of much less importance.
