Bride ransom is one of the most spectacular and fun elements of a wedding script. The history of the emergence of this tradition is rooted in the distant past. Its meaning is not just to amuse the guests, but to prove that the groom is worthy of the bride, that for her sake he is ready to overcome all difficulties, pay the ransom, show his strength, intelligence and ingenuity. The bride is not given to the groom until he guesses the girlfriends' riddles or presents those present with sweets, coins and champagne. What the ransom will be depends on the imagination of the witness and the bride.
Instructions
Step 1
First, think about how you would like to make the ransom. It is not at all necessary to use the standard script that is used at many weddings to carry it out. Come up with it yourself with the help of your girlfriends and witness. Do something unusual that your husband-to-be and all the guests will remember for years to come.
Step 2
Start preparing your ransom by choosing contests, doing small tasks, and coming up with rhymes about the bride and groom. Remember, the ransom is not about robbing the witness and the groom, but putting on a theatrical performance. Therefore, when drawing up a script, it is necessary to pay great attention to songs, dances, scenes, costumes and make a lot of festive decorations.
Step 3
Carefully calculate the approximate time required for the groom to pass each test, and just in case, decide which of the contests you can donate if you fail to meet the allotted time.
Step 4
When choosing a pageant, be sure to think about the groom. All of them must take into account whether your betrothed will be able to complete this or that task, otherwise you can ruin the whole solemn moment, and the young groom will arrive at the registry office, both morally and physically tired.
Step 5
Imagine how your beloved man will feel and look when doing them. Do not include complex contests using water, flour, or other bulk products in the script, as the groom can get dirty and remain dirty.
Step 6
Discuss all competitions with your beloved in advance so that in the future he can pass all the tests with dignity. Help him prepare everything needed for the ransom, write him a list of things that will be needed to pass the tests. With their help, the groom will be able to pay off for an incorrectly completed task.
Step 7
Include in the ransom questions that will not make the young man think for a long time and he can easily give the right answer to them.
