Psychologists unanimously recognize the first year of marriage as one of the most difficult and “crisis” periods of marriage.

The most important date: the first wedding anniversary

The first, or chintz, is an important milestone in the relationship of young spouses. Psychologists unanimously recognize the first year of marriage as one of the most difficult and “crisis” periods of marriage, the husband and wife get used to each other, learn to treat the other with understanding, quarrel and reconcile.

That is why the first anniversary is called chintz, because chintz is one of the most fragile fabrics. According to another version, chintz is a simple “everyday” fabric, but its colors are usually variegated, like the boring first months of marriage.

The first wedding anniversary should definitely be celebrated. It is this day that will lay your first family tradition celebrations, and how everything goes, all subsequent anniversaries largely depend. As usual, the first wedding anniversary is celebrated with close relatives and friends. With guests, the “first-year” spouses exchange chintz handkerchiefs and arrange a ritual of “tying knots”, tying the other half to themselves even more firmly.

This is done as follows: the young take a scarf and connect the ends diagonally, tying knots on them. At the same time, it is necessary to say: "As these knots are strong, so are our feelings and words." After that, the spouses themselves and their guests sit down at the table, and one of the two bottles of champagne tied together by ribbons, which have been hidden since the wedding day, is necessarily opened at the table; the second is cherished until the birth of the first-born in the family.

On this day, bed linen should be expected from relatives as a gift; another name for the first anniversary is gauze, and it means a hint at the too violent activity of a young couple on the marital bed, as a result of which the sheets are rubbed to the state of gauze in a year. They also give other home textiles or special heart-shaped pillows sewn from chintz.

Also on the first wedding anniversary, some couples get married. Even if you are not yet ready for such a serious step, you can still go to church together and light candles for each other's health. The first wedding anniversary, as a rule, is celebrated especially magnificently by those couples in the strength of family ties and the seriousness of whose relationship there were doubts. In other words, the first wedding anniversary turns for some into a demonstration of the “longevity” of the union. Celebrities often sin with this, making a PR occasion out of a family holiday.

For example, Heidi Klum and her husband, the singer Seal, every year on May 11th arrange a full-fledged wedding party, each time adopting one or another original wedding ceremony. But Ksenia Borodina, the host of Doma2, who was expelled from the daytime air, and her husband did not arrange a magnificent celebration on the first anniversary of their wedding; however, two months before that day, Ksenia became a mother, so it’s not a fact that, behind the parental chores, the couple even remembered what day it was today.

If you do not have time or mood to start a noisy celebration - it's okay. The first wedding anniversary is a reason to rejoice, first of all, for the spouses, so it will be enough to arrange a holiday for two on this day, go out to dinner and be sure to exchange gifts.

Printed wedding script

The first anniversary of marriage, according to folk tradition, is associated with chintz - a bright, but thin and fragile material, since this is precisely the relationship of the spouses at this stage of their life together. Impressions are still vivid, love is strong and fresh, but any quarrel or disagreement threatens to develop into a break and alienation.

For implementation, the following are required: extras (from among the guests) - from 5 to 10; the place is a cafe, a restaurant, a large room in the apartment is also suitable: the host is a witness, a witness (from those who were at the wedding) or just an active person with a cheerful character.

Part one (indoor)

A couple enters the hall where the guests have gathered. Today they have the first anniversary of marriage, called chintz, because, like chintz, the relationship of the spouses is full bright colors, but still fragile. Therefore, according to tradition, the young wife is wearing a bright chintz sundress, and the husband, wanting to please his wife, put on her gift in honor of the celebration - a beautiful chintz shirt.

The festive table is set embroidered tablecloth. If the hostess is a craftswoman, embroidery can be the work of her hands. The host and hostess stand at the head of the table. While the rest of the guests are sitting, the host rises from the table.

Leading:
Before we start our celebration, I want to remind you all of one beautiful and romantic ceremony. This is a kind of oath of allegiance, which, after a year of living together, our ancestors brought to each other.

I ask *** and *** (the names of the “calico” young people) to stand here, in the center, facing each other. You probably already know that for a cotton wedding, a husband and wife should give each other a cotton handkerchief. I think now is the right moment. (The spouses exchange handkerchief gifts.) And on the handkerchiefs presented to each other, tie a knot. It will be a symbol that your love will last for many, many years.

Now join hands and repeat after me the words of the oath: “As the knots tied by us are strong, so are our words. As the wind-reveler wakes up the field in the field, so joy and happiness will be with us forever.

Spouses repeat the words after the leader.

The handkerchiefs that you gave each other will keep your love. Now they need to be hidden in a secret place and kept until the end of your life. But...

Everything in our life is fleeting,
You change the chintz to linen.
We wish you to live carefree,
As varied as a chameleon.
And this sonorous noise of glasses
For you guys, in your honor,
We will drink to the bottom for this date,
After all, to live life is not to cross a field!
So that your life is bright as day
And happy and clear.
Well, in a word, so that she was
Cheerful, joyful, beautiful.
Was full of spring dreams
Bloomed like the morning dawn
I propose this toast
For you, for your happiness.
And again, like a year ago,
I want to say: “Bitter! Bitterly!"

Guests:
Bitterly!!!

The spouses kiss, the guests count the duration of the kiss, and then present the husband and wife with "chintz". Gifts, according to tradition, should be made of chintz.

If the spouses are going (or really want) to have a child, usually the mother of the young wife ( close girlfriend, mother-in-law, husband himself) present her with cotton diapers as a wish for an upcoming pregnancy, or successful resolution from the burden. In addition, it is customary to give tablecloths, bed linen or chintz clothes.

The process of giving is accompanied by wishes - toasts.

Friends and relatives:

Happy anniversary, young people!
Today is a celebration in honor of you!
Friends, acquaintances, relatives
You are warmly congratulated!
We wish you great love!
And personal happiness forever!
Let it bloom in spring May
Life without obstacles and obstacles!

In a life where many tears and doubts
Only the one who knows how to love is happy
You can live without wealth and money,
But without love it is impossible to live!
Today you can not be sad and gloomy!
To hell with separation, betrayal and evil!
When she came out (points to his wife) for him (to her husband),
Was she the luckiest then?

While some guests are busy making speeches, congratulations, wishes, toasts in honor of the young, others, waiting for their turn, support the anniversaries with tasting drinks and dishes.

Leading:
A chintz handkerchief ... Such a seemingly simple and ordinary thing, but how much it carries a secret meaning. It turns out that this little rag can be the key to future happiness.

And who doesn't want to be happy? So let's follow the example of *** and *** (the names of the spouses) - let's practice a little bit in tying knots!

The game starts at "Handkerchief"

You need to prepare in advance a beautiful neckerchief, preferably from chintz. Everyone should stand in a circle. One person goes to the middle of the circle and puts a handkerchief around his neck. And not just throws on a handkerchief, but ties it with a bow. This is a prerequisite.

The music turns on and the person begins to dance in the middle of the circle. Having made several spectacular steps, the player must pass his handkerchief to someone from the circle. In this case, the handkerchief must be tied in a knot, and the person must be kissed. Now the new "carrier" of the handkerchief comes to the middle of the circle.

You can dance and show off in the spotlight as much as your soul asks. The only thing to remember is that at the most unexpected moment, the music turns off, and the one who remains in the circle must loudly shout out everyone's favorite “ku-ka-re-ku!”.

Leading:
So we all practiced knitting knots. Perhaps now it will be easier for all of us to bind ourselves to happiness ... And in anticipation of our own happiness, I propose to drink for the happiness of our hosts. What do you think, from what cup do we drink, drink, and can't get drunk in any way?.. From the cup of love. So let's drink to love!

The guests drink, have a snack, at this time the host can relax a bit and think about future congratulations, toasts and ways to entertain everyone present. But the pause does not last very long.

Leading:
Of course, we all already know each other, we have known each other for more than a year, like our dear hosts, and yet ... it won’t hurt us to get to know each other better. For example, let's pay attention to the color of our clothes. So who's in red today? These people are joyful, beautiful, independent, they appreciate the fullness of life. Always ready for love, I mean, for great feeling. They prefer to spend holidays and vacations in the south.

Who is in clothes white color? often naive, honest people, with a spotless reputation, kind and decent. They prefer to rest among the snowy plains and polar bears.

The black color of the clothes indicates that we have talented people who are able to bewitch absolutely everyone. They love black caviar and black coffee. Sexually attractive, prolific in everything! They like to relax in the country with lovers.

clothing of blue color guarantees their owners a noble origin, romance. These are faithful, glorious people, they literally worry about everything and everyone. They love to relax everywhere, just to fly by plane or sail on a ship.

The green color of the dress indicates that these are people overwhelmed with hope and dreams. Always fresh and attractive. For recreation, they prefer the nearby forest.

Who came in clothes yellow color? These people are pleasant, warm, romantic, but ... insidious. From jewelry prefer gold. Strive to occupy a place in the upper class. They like to relax on the Golden Sands. They like to listen to Sting's "Fields of gold", they like to be called "Gold". So we have become a little closer and more understandable to each other!

And in order to still check how much we all know each other, I offer several tests. And again, our hosts, “one-year-old” spouses, will show us an example!

Games begin in which you need to guess the person. For disguise, a sheet is best suited (again, in tribute to tradition, from chintz), and you will also need two “atlantes” that can hold the “sky” over the heads of the participants throughout the game.

"Oh, those legs!"

The ladies are hiding behind the sheet. The men turn away for a while. Ladies stick out from under the "curtain" by agreement the left or right leg (you can wear shoes or without them, you can go up to the ankle or to the knee, the main thing is that skirts are not visible). Then the representatives of the stronger sex take turns trying to guess which woman owns which leg.

“I recognize a sweetheart by the palm of his hand ...”

The men are hiding behind the covers. The ladies withdraw for a while to give them a chance to prepare. During this time, gentlemen expose their hands from behind the coverlet (it is more convenient to do this at the bottom edge of the fabric, near the floor, so that the shoulder is not visible). The task of the lady is to guess the strong male hand his cavalier.

"Mirror Kiss"

Ladies put thicker lipstick on their lips, go to the mirror and leave bright prints on it. Further, gentlemen approach the mirror and try to figure out women's kisses.

Men who have shown maximum ingenuity are awarded the right to an extraordinary slow dance.

Leading:
How thin is chintz and fragile linen,
And this anniversary symbolizes one thing.
Your relationship is not so strong
And the boulders of life are rolling towards you.
But if you're friends
Give each other a shoulder
No need for outside help
You will be completely happy!

The guests drink to make this wish come true, there is a short pause again, during which all the owners bad habits time to leave the premises and come back.

Future groom:

“Remember, the decision to get married was your last independent decision.
- Carry your wife in your arms, and she will sit on your neck herself.
- You should help your wife on March 8, but on the rest of the days you do everything yourself.
- When walking with your wife, do not look to the left, as you may not notice that she is looking to the right.
- The first word of the baby should be "mother" so that he does not disturb his father's sleep.
- When you get up in the morning, kiss your wife, maybe you will be the first.
- Love and respect your wife, but do not allow her to be the mistress of the house, be the master yourself, so that, escaping from the wrath of your wife, sitting under the table, you can say to everyone: “I am the master of the house! Wherever I want, I sit there!
- In time honeymoon do not waste time in vain, do not read poetry to your wife, it is better to read her the book “On Tasty and Healthy Food”.
- Have time to speak today, soon you will only listen.
Don't overuse excuses for being delayed from work. Fantasize, think, create...
- Do not forget the name of the witness, in which case she will feed you.

Future bride:

- If the husband came home late, give him the opportunity to tell what you have known for a long time.
- AT money matters observe a strict division of labor. Leave the important and honorable right to earn money to your husband. And take on the difficult, difficult task of spending them. You have to give in at least something.
- It is strictly forbidden to tease and call your husband the names of the inhabitants of the zoo!
- Never argue with your husband, but start crying right away.
- If the husband begins to linger at work, change the husband's profession.
- Love and take care of your husband and his nervous system, never tell him the true value of the purchases.
- Tape all his pre-wedding promises, and when he gets sad, this tape will make him laugh to tears.
- Do not forget the name of the witness, he can help you with the housework when your husband is late at work. Maybe I mixed up that when I poured invaluable experience into verbal form ... But even if so, do not be angry with me, because my intentions were the same - to amuse all our honest company!

While reading the tips, guests can not only listen carefully to the host and take note of the invaluable experience, but also engage in their immediate duties - tasting dishes and drinks on the table. The tasting continues even after the reading - you need to give the presenter a rest.

Leading(after rest):
And now I propose to test your imagination. Here, for example, what associations do you have, well, for example, when it comes to Philip Kirkorov? But today we will not discuss pop stars, but will pay all attention to those present here. So, I propose to ask me any associative questions about who I have now thought of. I promise to answer sincerely and honestly!

An example of questions and answers to associations can be the following dialogue:

1. What vegetable or fruit is this person associated with?
- With kiwi.

2. What type of footwear does this person associate with?
- With hussar boots with spurs.

3. What color is this person associated with?
- With green.

4. What type or brand of car is this person associated with?
- With a limousine.

5. What animal is this person associated with?
- With a tiger.

6. What kind of music is this person associated with?
- Popular.

7. What mood is this person associated with?
- With joyful.

After such answers, everyone understands that we are talking about someone perky, with a good-natured character and a broad soul. The guests look around in bewilderment: “Who could it be?”. And then suddenly someone's voice is heard, calling the name of the "calico" husband. The facilitator says: "That's the right answer!".

Leading:
Love leads through the desert
And through the mountain ranges
And in the wind she does not get cold,
And not afraid of heights.
For the fact that we care about blood,
My toast, of course, is to love!

After the last wish, the guests are invited to continue the celebration in the fresh air.

Part two (on the street)

Often the wedding anniversary does not fall on the warm season. But even in this case, there are recipes for how not to sit out the whole holiday in a hot room, methodically pouring another portion of alcohol into yourself. You can, for example, admire the snow ...

Leading(after everyone is in the yard):
Look around! Isn't it beautiful: the snow seems to wink at us with its stars, as if inviting us to have fun ... I invite you too! Which of you sculpted a snowman in childhood?

And who knows the difference between a snowman and a snowman? I'm listening to options! And now we have two teams (those present are divided into teams), one of which will sculpt a snowman, and the other a snowman. And we'll see which team is faster and better at it.

The game evaluates not only the speed of execution, but also the quality, as well as "compliance with generally accepted standards", that is, that the snowman and snowman actually showed signs of gender. The winning team gets prizes. After this game, an arbitrary program (for example, a walk) may well begin, followed by a return to the table.
