You decided to prepare your own wedding script. The most crucial moment of the wedding ceremony is the meeting of the newlyweds with parents and guests. The whole further family life of the new couple will depend on how it is organized. In any case, I really want to believe in it.
Instructions
Step 1
Start writing your script well before your wedding. In advance, warn all relatives and friends invited to it about what roles they will be assigned to. Find out if they will prepare the texts of congratulations to the young couple on their own or will they trust you.
Step 2
Think about the timing of this part of the script. On the one hand, all the closest relatives must necessarily speak up and bless the young, on the other hand, you should not torment the rest of the guests who are waiting for the festive feast. It is best if the meeting lasts no more than 5-10 minutes.
Step 3
Decide whether you will organize a meeting at the registry office or limit yourself to blessings and congratulations at the door of a cafe or home. If you plan to celebrate the newlyweds in two steps: after the painting and before the feast, distribute the roles so that congratulations do not repeat. Think about whether it is worth carrying out the ceremony of sprinkling the young with sweets, rice, coins, rose petals, etc.
Step 4
Do not forget that, following the Orthodox tradition, parents should meet the bride and groom at the entrance to the house: the father blesses the young with an icon in their hands, the mother treats them with bread and salt and says congratulations. Decide if you are going to run comic contests with a loaf. But at a Muslim wedding, the main role at the beginning of the celebration is assigned to the bride, who is first fed with honey and butter on a soft pillow, after which she must go to the nearest well and bring two buckets of water. Each guest will have to come up and drink a mug of water, and put a few coins in the second bucket. Discuss all the details of such a wedding with the groom's elder relatives.
Step 5
Compose, if necessary, the texts of congratulations (in verse and prose) and distribute them to relatives and guests. Don't use ready-made templates. The simplest poems, written from the heart, will be received much warmer than the standard blanks, which are known to many, and are no longer taken seriously. Write a great song in honor of the newlyweds, where it would be about them and their future family life. The glorification is sung immediately after the father blesses the young, the mother and closest relatives congratulate, and everyone will go to the table.
