Ransom for the bride is considered a traditional Russian custom. Previously, the groom was met at the entrance to the village and arranged various tests for him to demonstrate his strength, intelligence and resourcefulness. Over the years, the ransom has changed a little, but its essence has remained the same: to cheer everyone up and convince those present that the bride has chosen a worthy groom.
It is necessary
- - candies;
- - champagne;
- - money.
Instructions
Step 1
Come to the ransom with your witness and friends. The groom does not have to go through all the trials of relatives and bridesmaids alone. Neither one nor the other will be against the help and tips of your "entourage". On the contrary, in some competitions, which have already become traditional for redemption, the participation of two or more people is required.
Step 2
Prepare in advance for the fact that all shyness and self-doubt need to be relegated to the background. On ransom, it is not so much correct and quick answers that are important as the ability to make guests laugh and navigate difficult situations.
Step 3
Prepare candy, champagne bottles and money. While the main purpose of the buyback is to cheer you up and create a festive atmosphere, you will not be able to do without financial costs. Typically, all the money you give will eventually go back to you or the bride's parents.
Step 4
Change large bills into smaller ones. The ideal option would be to have bills of different denominations and different countries in your wallet. Before the ransom starts, it will be possible to say that you have traveled all over the world in search of such a wonderful bride and now you have finally found her, and you will pay with money not only local, but also overseas.
Step 5
All the tests that the groom has to go through can be divided into three groups: knowledge of the bride, ingenuity, strength. Therefore, in advance, as if by chance, find out from your beloved what color she loves most, what flowers she prefers, what is her mother's name. If you doubt your memory, look your beloved in the eyes before the celebration and specify the date of her birth. These questions are very common in buyouts. It is also worth remembering all the dates associated with your relationship.
Step 6
In quick wits contests, try to find the simplest solution. For example, a widespread task is when you need to drink water from a three-liter can, at the bottom of which is the key to the bride's apartment. Instead of drinking all the water, you can gently pour it out and take the key for yourself.
