Redemption of the bride. Contests and tasks

The wedding is the most important and solemn day in the life of the newlyweds, and each people has long been keeping traditions and customs associated with this day. So in Russia, one of the popular customs is the ransom of the bride. Contests, which are prepared by the girlfriends of the future wife, are the most diverse. It is worth remembering that the ransom should not be much delayed, 20-30 minutes is the most optimal option. Here are some original contests for the bride's redemption.

Competition with a fiance . When a happy young man comes to the home of a fiancé, another "bridegroom" immediately appears and says that he has come for his bride. Then the girlfriends should volunteer to resolve the question, which of the two is real. Begin to take turns to ask questions to both about the subject of their dispute. Questions need a little - 5-8. An unmarried fiancé must make mistakes in the answers, but each time deftly twist. For example: "how much waist does the bride have?", "75", "wrong, 68", "so I know that 68, just want her to know that I love her very much with any waist size." Or "how much do you know?", "Year", "wrong 3", "of course 3, but time with my beloved flies so quickly that I just do not have time to count it." After all the questions, the "fake" groom is ashamed to be removed, and the real continues to buy out the bride, the competitions for him are just beginning.

Variation of the popular test "Find the sponge favorite . " Lip prints are placed not just on a white sheet, but on the poster of some famous singer or actor. For each incorrectly named variant the groom should pay the ransom (examples of ransoms are written below). The main feature here is that among the prints of the sponges there is no bride. When the future husband becomes clear, the witness indignantly comments: "What kind of nonsense are you doing here? Do not you know that your fiancee could not kiss another man? Pay a ransom, once such an unthinkable! "

I recognize the darling by size . It is necessary to cut off the ribbon equal to the height of the bride, and several other ones are longer and shorter, after which the groom is asked to choose the right one, for every wrong answer he must "buy" himself the right to the next attempt. Instead of growing ribbon, you can measure the size of the legs, nose, arms, waist, and so on.

The real reason for getting married . For each step is put the reason (according to calculations, my mother forced, friends advised, the devil took it, lost the cards, etc.) The fact is that they are not all the best. The task of the groom is to go upstairs, but on the step with what reason it will come - that is the true one. The "highlight" of this competition is that a witness (friend of the groom) should guess to lift him upstairs in his arms.

When the bride is redeemed, the contests must be different, that is, alternating dances, songs, logical thinking, demonstration of strength and dexterity, answers to riddles so that the ransom is interesting and varied, and the groom has the opportunity to rest from physical exercises.

Options for a groom for a groom :

Of course, the most common option is money, but in order not to ruin the budget of the future family, alternating options for buying out, chocolate, sweets, champagne ... Or, as an option, when the girlfriends think up bride price, contests, options for buybacks , They can prepare several cards-promises of the future husband. And for every mistake in the answers the groom should pull out one of them to choose from. You can write on the cards: "I'll wash the dish for a month," "I'll buy a fur coat in the first year of my life together," "I'll bring coffee to bed on two Sundays in a row", "I'll write my favorite poem today," "in the first year of our life together we'll go on vacation together for Border "...

The main thing that is worth considering: when the bride is redeemed, the contests for the groom must be within his power, and, at the least, so that he can always pay off.
