Witnesses, as well as the bride and groom, play an important role in the wedding. Moreover, their responsibilities are not limited only to the day when the young are registered and celebrate the wedding. The bride should choose a witness from among her relatives or girlfriends, but at the same time she needs to take into account several factors that may affect this choice.
Instructions
Step 1
According to tradition, a young unmarried girl was always chosen as a bridesmaid who marries for the first time in Russia. The choice of a divorced woman or a widow was considered a bad omen. Do not worry that your girlfriend will outshine you with beauty - the bride will always be in the spotlight at any wedding and will remain the most feminine and attractive for everyone.
Step 2
Whether you invite your best friend or just a young relative, you should be comfortable with her. She needs to know you well enough to feel your excitement, soothe and support at the right time.
Step 3
By her nature, your witness should be punctual, responsible and balanced person, able to instantly navigate in any situation, make a decision. She will not be hurt by good communication skills, the ability to organize and give orders, communicate with strangers and not shake up when she is given attention.
Step 4
At Russian weddings, funny pranks are often used and you can hear rather risky jokes that guests exchange with each other and encourage young people. It would be nice if your witness had artistic abilities, a sense of humor and did not go into her pocket for a word.
Step 5
Knowledge of modern traditional wedding ceremonies will not hurt the bridegroom. She must have a good memory to remember all the little things and prompt the bride in time about what she needs to do and say. Part of the worries about outfitting the bride also falls on her shoulders. This is not only shopping trips before the wedding, but also helping the bride with the outfit, makeup and hair.
Step 6
Choose as a witness a girl who can withstand great emotional and physical stress. She will have to be on her feet all day and even by the end of the evening she should remain full of energy, cheerful and ready to take part in dances and weddings.
