ON THE VERANDA

On the veranda there is a sign "Cooperative for the issuance of brides."

Witness:

Businessmen in our house
- Real talent.
The chance was not missed -
The cooperative was opened.
You will be found by order
Quickly, clearly, right away.

The Witness opens the door to the veranda. Two or three girlfriends drink tea, sitting at a coffee table. On the table is a sign "Lunch break from ... to ... hours." And the time of arrival of the groom to the bride's house is indicated. Put a samovar on the table, hang bagels, put Soviet-era cups. As an option - vobla with beer. Girlfriends can have lips painted in the same - raspberry - color.

Witness:

Yes... Dinner... That's bad luck...
A bribe is your luck.

And choose a bride!

The groom and the witness give the bridesmaids a "bribe". They put three bowls on the table, in which three "barrels" from "kinder surprises" are placed. They contain cards with the signs of the bride. Near each bowl there is an index: "Height", "Eye color", "Name".

Here is a computer - a pointer.
Get it right here, buddy.
It's clear, it's clear
All information is paid.

Witness (addressing guests):

Well, fiance, you try
Look, don't be mistaken.
Help him -

The bride replies:

Witness (addressing the groom):

Take care of the bride, groom,
From adversity and dashing storms.
To flourish, to bear fruit,
Happiness in her is yours - take care of her!
Well, we are here with the whole herd
Let's pour some cups together.

For many centuries, the groom, trying to prove the ability and willingness to support a family, gave horses, bulls, sheep, jewelry, furs, and so on for a girl. At present, the so-called ransom has acquired a certain entertaining character. The only thing that is required of the young man is to complete a series of tasks prepared in advance by the bridesmaids.

These can be song contests, testing the groom's knowledge in certain areas, and much more. In general, everything that can only come into the head of girls. They are sure that on this day their main task is to make the groom prove his love for the bride before she becomes his wife forever.

But bridesmaids should carefully consider the scenario of the wedding. It should include only the funniest contests, because a wedding is such an event where there should not be a single hint of sadness and longing.

Features of the winter ransom of the bride

When organizing a ransom, do not forget about the date of the wedding, as the time of the year plays an important role in organizing a wedding. Consider everything, especially if your wedding will take place in the winter. Of course, it is possible to organize the entire ransom on the street, but in this case, you can get very cold. By holding competitions indoors, you will be deprived of the opportunity to enjoy winter fun. That is why the most correct solution would be to divide the entire ransom into 2 parts: first you hold contests on the street, and then smoothly move into the room.

You can also take into account the month of the wedding. For example, in December, take the theme of the new year as a basis. Bridesmaids can dress up as Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Snowflakes and other fairy-tale characters. January is rich in such holidays as Christmas, Epiphany. Keep this in mind when organizing your script.

As for February, then you can take as a basis such holidays as St. Valentine's Day and Defender of the Fatherland Day. At the same time, it is not at all necessary that the entire redemption of the bride in winter takes place under the theme of your choice. 2-3 competitions are enough to make your event special and memorable for the guests for a long time. Upon completion of the entire ransom, a small fireworks display can be organized.

However, do not worry if the weather conditions do not at all imply holding a ransom on the street. Organize it in a room that you decorate in advance with the attributes of winter. These can be snowflakes glued to the windows and hung throughout the room, artificial snow, cotton balls, which in their appearance resemble snowballs.


Maybe you want something original. If you wish, you can write a script based on your favorite Russian fairy tales. Remember which of them are associated with winter? One of these is the well-known Russian folk tale "Twelve Months". Take it as the basis of your ransom. Make the groom complete at least one of the tasks each month. You can also take as a basis the fairy tale "The Snow Queen". Let the groom try to unfreeze the cold heart of his bride.

Thinking over the scenario of the ransom of the bride

The first thing that all girls need to remember is that there will be a good ransom only if its script is prepared in advance. Improvisation in this case is not a good option. Bridesmaids need to think carefully about everything so that there are no unpleasant situations at the wedding. Then, when watching the video, young people will remember this day with a smile.

Of course, everyone knows that the groom is in complete ignorance before the wedding. However, it is advisable to make a list of things that he should take with him in a few days. Agree that it will be much more interesting if, after the phrase - the demands of the bridesmaids, the groom will not be at a loss, and will get exactly what they ask for.

Often, his friends help the groom in competitions. If none of them can complete the task or makes a mistake, then "pays" the ransom. It can be money, candy or a bottle of good champagne.

Many girls, thinking over the ransom scenario, take well-known contests. It is not interesting and has not become something special for a long time. in winter, do not forget about the time of year. When decorating the room, do not forget to use the attributes of winter along with the wedding theme.

As competitions, you can use your favorite winter fun. This includes sleigh rides, snowball fights, snowman making, and so on. You can also arrange a competition for the best snowman. If the wedding takes place in a private house, with a nearby pond, then all guests can go ice skating.

And most importantly, do not forget to count the time. The bride and groom still need to be in time at the registry office, and there the workers are unlikely to wait for them. Ideally, a ransom should not last more than 15-20 minutes. Remember that even if you have to organize a bride price in winter, the weather here is not at all a hindrance. Rather the opposite. Helps to make the wedding unique and fabulous.

Thematic can be found on the next page.

A rare wedding does without a fun and funny ceremony - the ransom of the bride. If the newlywed is planned to be taken away from home in the private sector, then you need to take into account that the scenario for the ransom of the bride in your house is different from the “apartment” and will be prepared in advance. But there will be no extraneous onlookers who can confuse the young or their friends, more room for action.

Peculiarities

In order for the redemption process to look elegant and festive in photos and videos, you need to prepare for it in advance and decorate the gate, porch, doors, hallway.

Balloons, paper garlands, posters with comic poems and pictures on the theme of the wedding, flowers - all this will create the “correct” picture in the frame and cheer up the participants.

It is worth removing all unnecessary items from these territories, freeing up as much space as possible for the groom with a support group and the relatives and bridesmaids who meet him, perhaps it is worth taking extra furniture to other rooms that will not be encountered on the way of the future husband. The ransom, no matter what style the wedding will be celebrated in, they always try to organize it in a cool and interesting way, so that it is noisy and fun.

This is a kind of way to test the groom for a sense of humor and resourcefulness, a task is thought out in advance that the newlywed will have to perform, and the necessary props are prepared so that at the right time you do not have to look for anything, but everything is at hand.

Usually, by the time of the wedding, the character of the groom and the witness is already well known to both the bride and her relatives, at least to the parents. Thinking through the test for them, you should not abuse the moment and force young people to do what they fundamentally do not want, or what does not correspond to their worldview.


For example, if a witness categorically does not drink alcohol, offering him a glass of alcoholic beverage with the obligatory condition to drain it would be tactless and put both parties in an awkward situation.

The bride should be redeemed not only with money and sweets, but also with participation in skits, answers to tricky questions, and actions. It is necessary to calculate the distance from the gate to the newlywed so as not to delay the ransom process too much, but it is also enough to “marine” the groom and his witness.

You can come up with a script yourself, relying on fantasy or the moments of this ceremony seen at other weddings, or you can take a ready-made one, in prose or poetry, and, if necessary, change or add something in it.

Finished script

The groom's car drives up, he and his friend approach the gate, where the bridesmaids are already waiting for them, they are interested in who the guests are, why they came and whether they really need this particular bride.


Druzhka: “We have a bride, like a queen, a master of all trades,

We value (name) very much, we won’t just give it away.

Redemption is needed expensive, do not stand behind the price?

We have a mountain of chocolate and a river of lemonade,

Vodka and beer for guests and a prettier ring.”

The friend pays the ransom with sweets and drinks, the girls bargain, and finally let him go beyond the gate.

Bridesmaid: “So that the bride at the window does not get bored herself, you quickly shout out to her loudly about your love.” The groom shouts loudly: "I love you!" until the "guardians" decide that the newlywed has heard him and let them go further.


Girlfriend: “And now, dear fellow, tell us why, are you going down the aisle?”. The groom names the qualities of the bride (beautiful, tender, cooks deliciously, etc.). For each quality (two, three, depending on the distance), the groom can take a step.

Or for this, he must throw darts at the target, and each number will correspond to a pre-prepared and recorded answer, for example, “Mom said so” or “The devil pulled it.” If you choose the option with darts, then you can prepare more questions, about ten. It always turns out funny and amuses those present.

For the next test, you need to prepare paper footprints (three pieces).

You can put them at a great distance so that the newlywed has to jump, if this greatly shortens his path, then you can put them not in a straight line, but in zigzags.

The girlfriends ask riddles to the future husband, and for each correct answer they are allowed to move to the next track. If he can’t find an answer to some, then he will have to pay with money.

Instead of riddles, you can ask questions about the bride and relationships: where did you meet? What size are her feet or natural hair color? Having reached the entrance to the house, the groom is offered to drink water from one of the three cups. In one, the water is sweet, in the other, sour (with lemon juice), and in the third, bitter (salty). According to the expression on his face, they “guess” about their life together.

In order to find out how many happy years this union will give them, the newlywed is offered to do push-ups as much as he can, and they count.

Having crossed the threshold of the house of his beloved, the young man should call her, declaring his presence. To do this, the bride writes a note in advance with a call: "Call me."


The groom is given a hat or a box filled with pieces of paper on which one letter is written, and he must come up with an epithet for the bride and call her with this word, for example, “L” is affectionate, “D” is kind, etc.

Then the groom is offered to choose a bouquet for the bride and is shown three tightly wrapped identical bundles, one with a broom, the other with a bath broom, and the third with the bride's bouquet. If the first time it did not work out to determine the bag with flowers, then the next attempts need to be redeemed from girlfriends. Before the future husband leads into the room to the bride, they put an empty basin in front of him and offer to put the best gift for the future wife there.

It is understood that a man must himself become it, but if he did not immediately guess about it and began to put various objects or money there, then these trophies are considered the prey of girlfriends.

In this video - some more funny contests for the ransom of the bride:

After that, the girls release the groom, hand him a symbolic key to the room, and he can enter the room where the bride is waiting for him to pick her up and go to the registry office.

If you prepare well, then the ransom of the bride will turn out to be bright and cheerful. The groom will successfully go through the difficult path of the conqueror, the bridesmaids will make sure that they give her into the hands of a resourceful, skillful and persistent man, and the guests will receive a lot of positive emotions watching what is happening. And what contests or ransom scenes did you like the most?

The ransom of the bride is a cool scenario in a private house (on the ground floor)

Witness. (on the street)
Hello dear guests! Why did you complain to us?

Witness.
For the bride.

Witness.
Not a bride, but a queen, and such a craftswoman!
We value the bride, we won’t just give it away!
We need a ransom
What can not be expressed by price:
Three bottles of lemonade
Yes, two bars of chocolate
Vodka, beer - everything - by the river,
And a gold ring.

Bridesmaid.
So that the bride at the window
Not bored alone
You owe her from here
Shout out your love.

Witness.
Now, fiance
You're not going anywhere:
Tell us frankly
Why are you getting married:
Here are three tracks in front of you
Choose any one.

Test "Guess the riddle"
For this competition, you need to cut out 3 tracks (preferably from thick cardboard) and put them one after the other in front of the groom. For a laugh, make them very small or put them at a great distance (but the distance should not be very large, in this case the groom will very quickly overcome the path to the porch of the bride's house).
The task is as follows: when the groom guesses the riddle or shows the answer, he is allowed to take one step, stepping on the trail. As we noted earlier, there should not be more than three to five riddles.

Witness:

To pass us by
And find the way to the bride,
We'll give you riddles
Guess them without looking back
And show me the answer
And if you don't have it, pay!

Pure, but not water;
Adhesive, but not resin;
Bela, but not snow;
Sweet, but not honey;
They take from the horned
And they give it to the kids.
(Milk.)

The groom is offered to solve a riddle. If he cannot do this, he pays the ransom. And if the riddle is solved, then they are asked to show the answer.

Witness:

Show me the answer!

The groom, of course, does not have it.

Witness:

If there is no milk
Give us a handful of silver!!!

After these words, the groom and the witness pay a ransom. When the ransom is paid, the groom takes a step and steps on the trail.
The following riddles are solved in a similar way.

Bridesmaid:

They don't eat me alone
And without me, they don’t look at food.

Witness:

Oh, and no salt either
Give us a bag of coins!

The groom is forced to pay a ransom, while the guests shout: “It’s not enough, don’t be stingy!”

Bridesmaid:

The lady sits in a spoon,
Dangling legs.

Witness:

How is it possible without noodles
For the bride to come to us!?
For an oversight from the heart
Give us the profits!

Witness (at the door to the house).

And now, dear bridegroom, show us
What kind of life will you have.
Here are three cups of water for you:
One mug speaks of the sweet life (with sugar)
The second is about bitter (with salt)
And the third is about sour (with citric acid)
Drink water from any mug
And by your face we know
What kind of life awaits you.

Test "Call me, darling!"

For this task, you need to prepare an announcement in advance. In the center of it write: "Call me, my love!" At the bottom, cut the ad into strips, place any letter on each of them. Hang this prepared announcement on the door.

Witness:

Announcement ahead
You tear off a leaf
Read the letter you want
And call the bride!

The groom must call his bride, calling her a word that would begin with a letter written on a piece of paper.
For example:
M - sweetheart;
N - tender;
C - happy and so on.

If he finds it difficult to call the bride for any letter, then his friends help him. If they too find it difficult, they pay a ransom.

The witness offers three packaged bouquets - one contains a homemade broom, the second contains a bath broom, and the third contains wedding flowers).

Witness:
Here are three bouquets with us,
Answer us now -
Which bride will you take?
What will you give her as a gift?

(The groom points to one of the bouquets, if it is taken incorrectly, the witness demands a ransom until the groom correctly guesses).

Witness:
Apparently, he messed up a little,
Kohl you took a bath broom
For trying for the second
Give me more money...

Witness:
Oh, this one doesn't work either.
Know you have to pay.

Witness:
Well, this bouquet is in place,
The bride will love it...

Witness:
And the groom is not lame?
Come on, stomp your foot.
The groom stomps.

Witness:
Don't make people laugh
Sleep a gypsy for us.

Bridesmaid:
The beautiful bride loves fun
Dance not alone, but together with everyone!

The groom's friends and he himself perform the gypsy.

Witness:
The test passed
You have reached the bride!
And so now
You take the bride to the registry office!

These can be snowflakes glued to the windows and hung throughout the room, artificial snow, cotton balls, which in their appearance resemble snowballs.

Maybe you want something original. If you wish, you can write a script based on your favorite Russian fairy tales. Remember which of them are associated with winter? One of these is the well-known Russian folk tale "Twelve Months". Take it as the basis of your ransom. Make the groom complete at least one of the tasks each month. You can also take as a basis the fairy tale "The Snow Queen". Let the groom try to unfreeze the cold heart of his bride.

Thinking over the scenario of the ransom of the bride

The first thing that all girls need to remember is that there will be a good ransom only if its script is prepared in advance. Improvisation in this case is not a good option. Bridesmaids need to think carefully about everything so that there are no unpleasant situations at the wedding. Then, when watching the video, young people will remember this day with a smile.

Of course, everyone knows that the groom is in complete ignorance before the wedding. However, it is advisable to make a list of things that he should take with him in a few days. Agree that it will be much more interesting if, after the phrase - the demands of the bridesmaids, the groom does not get confused, and gets exactly what they ask for.

Often, his friends help the groom in competitions. If none of them can complete the task or makes a mistake, then "pays" the ransom. It can be money, candy or a bottle of good champagne.

Many girls, thinking over the ransom scenario, take well-known contests. It is not interesting and has not become something special for a long time. When organizing a bridesmaid's ransom in winter, do not forget about the time of year. When decorating the room, do not forget to use the attributes of winter along with the wedding theme.

As competitions, you can use your favorite winter fun. This includes sleigh rides, snowball fights, snowman making, and so on. You can also arrange a competition for the best snowman. If the wedding takes place in a private house, with a nearby pond, then all guests can go ice skating.

And most importantly, do not forget to count the time. The bride and groom still need to be in time at the registry office, and there the workers are unlikely to wait for them. Ideally, a ransom should not last more than 15-20 minutes. Remember that even if you have to organize a bride price in winter, the weather here is not at all a hindrance. Rather the opposite. Helps to make the wedding unique and fabulous.

Bride ransom in a private house

A rare wedding does without the ransom of the bride - this amazing and fun ceremony has long been a part of the wedding day, so you need to prepare for it in advance. If you decide to hold a ransom ceremony in a private house, it is worth considering the scenario. In fact, the ceremony will turn out to be much more interesting, because you will not experience a lack of free space: you can think over the tests carried out in the yard, in the hallway and directly in the rooms.

Don't forget to decorate the house: you can hang a bright colorful poster with the inscription "The Bride lives here" on the gate or gate! Hang colorful balls in the yard (you can form garlands or intricate figures from them), pots with fresh flowers, ribbons. All kinds of wall newspapers and posters with bright applications and photographs of the bride and groom will do. If there is a familiar artist, ask him to draw a couple of cartoons and funny pictures. Ask friends who know how to play the guitar or accordion to sit in the yard to make the redemption process more fun. Girlfriends, having seen the groom, can perform ditties - and they will raise their spirits, and set themselves up in the right way.

When the groom approaches the gate, he is met by a witness or host.

Witness: Hello, dear fiance! How long have you been walking! We've all looked at you, waiting. He did not come for the bride (the groom answers). Yes, we have a red girl, smart, beautiful, caring, hardworking. Do you really think that we will just give it away? Prove yourself worthy first. Do you agree to pass the tests that we have prepared for you?

(The witness intentionally stands near the gate and blocks the way for the groom until he agrees. For the sake of laughter, you can dress up two friends as bodyguards and threaten the groom that if you pamper, the guards will quickly send you out under white hands).

Witness: Here's your first problem. A chain of footprints will lead you to the threshold of the bride's house, but the right to pass will give you the right answer to the question. You really try, otherwise you will have to return with nothing.

Trial 1

White traces are drawn with chalk towards the house: each step is the answer to a question. If the groom answered incorrectly, he takes a step back or pays a ransom, if he does not want to waste time and moves forward a step. Questions may vary:

  • How many years ago did you meet your fiancee?
  • What color are your lover's eyes?
  • What size shoes does she wear?
  • The size of the ring on the index finger of the right hand?
  • What did you get her for your last anniversary?
  • How old is your father in law?
  • Your fiancé's favorite dish?
  • Where was your first date and so on.

The groom reaches the threshold of the house, where he is met by a smiling father-in-law.

father-in-law: - Once you got to the second test, you have a good memory, son. But now we will check whether you will be my support and hope for my daughter, will you cope with the work of a man?

Trial 2

The father-in-law gives the groom a hammer, a board and a nail and offers to hammer the nail with one blow. It turned out - it goes on, it didn’t work out - it offers a ransom. You can put a log across the threshold, and the witness and the groom must saw it in order to clear their way. After that, the groom is let into the hallway, where one of the bride's girlfriends is already waiting for him.

Girlfriend: - Dear groom, your bride is preening in front of the mirror, preparing for the wedding. Yes, I completely forgot about the timing. Go hurry her up. But before you go further, decide which room you need the key to!

Trial 3

The rooms in the house are locked and numbered (3-4 rooms are enough). The task of the groom is to get the key to each of them by passing the appropriate test. The girlfriend holds a tray with numbered cards, the groom chooses one of them and does everything that is written there. By the way, you can come up with tasks not only for the groom, but also for the witness, so that the ransom from a funny joke does not turn into a tedious routine.

Exercise 1. Put together a mosaic. The witness is given a picture or postcard cut into small pieces, and he must assemble it in 2 minutes. You can buy a children's puzzle and encourage the test subject that even a child will cope with this task. If the witness does not fit into the time frame, treats the audience with stored drinks and sweets, pays a ransom.

Task 2. Find out your favorite. This is a task for the groom, posters with prints of hands or lips will come in handy. The task of the subject is to find which print belongs to his bride. You can cheat: the poster may not show the imprint of the bride's lips at all, which means that you can demand the ransom due with a pure heart.

Task 3. The witness asks the groom and the witness to rummage through their pockets and find all the little things that are only there. With the help of coins in 2 minutes, they must lay out the name of the bride.

Task 4. Compliments. The witness offers the groom a "chamomile", a letter is written on each petal. The task of the subject is to come up with an affectionate nickname for the bride, which would begin with this letter. If the groom fails, he pays a ransom.

Trial 4

The search for a bride or the game "hot-cold". Having opened all 4 doors, the groom discovers that the window in one of the rooms is open, but the bride is not. The witness offers her help: supposedly she knows where the bride can hide and will guide the actions of the groom. And the game "hot, cold" begins. The bride can hide with her neighbors, in the attic, in the car, in the clearing behind the house - this is at her discretion.

Witness: - Dear groom, you coped with the tests with dignity, accept from us a letter with the title of the best seeker. I wish you to cope with all the trials and obstacles in life as easily as with our contests! And now we should hurry up, so as not to be late for the registry office!


When planning a scenario for the redemption of a bride in winter, you need to consider several options, depending on specific weather conditions.

Several options for


Weather forecasts do not always turn out to be true, so the ransom organizers can plan several versions in advance: firstly, in order not to depend on the weather, it is possible to hold a ransom only indoors, taking into account the specifics of the time of year, and secondly, it can be a combined option, when half tests-competitions would be held on the street (in the yard), the other half - indoors, thirdly, you can choose the option of holding the ransom only on the street (in the yard).

Most often, the best option is the second - combined, in which case the organizer is sure that the guests participating in the redemption will be comfortable, they will not have time to freeze even at the lowest temperatures.

But if you wish, you can prepare separately the first and third options, and then, according to weather conditions, choose one of the three options, because by mixing the first and third options, you can get the one that was designated as optimal.

When tests are planned for the groom and his friends as part of the ransom only on the street, there is no need to cut out snowflakes, snowmen and create other attributes of winter time, they are all already present in the space where the ransom is organized (subject to a snowy winter, of course).

Depending on the month


In addition, it is important in which of the snowy months the wedding takes place. If in December, then it would be original to prepare a test related to New Year's attributes and, of course, with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.

For example, a task for the groom and his friends to distribute gifts to the guests present as soon as possible, sweets, coins, etc. can act as gifts. Another test option in December is to decorate the Christmas tree as best as possible, so that the matchmakers like it.

In January, the attributes of the ransom are associated with Christmas, Epiphany frosts. In this case, the matchmakers can ask the groom questions about important dates in the life of the future newlyweds, i.e. about the birth of their couple, for example. Thematically, the testing of the groom and his friends by cold and snow can be connected with Epiphany frosts.

February is often associated with blizzards and fickle weather, so the groom can be asked questions about how he will love his wife, i.e. whether it will be constant, as well as questions to the groom's friends about his qualities, among which courage, readiness to protect his future wife should be named.

How to create the right atmosphere


When the ransom is organized indoors: on the floors, at the door of the apartment, in the elevator - winter can come to this rite through carved snowflakes, frozen windows drawn on paper. They are designed to create a festive atmosphere in winter.

Then the competitions can be the same as in other seasons, you can add "winter" elements to them. For example, there is traditionally a contest in which the reasons for marriage are asked; so one of the answers may be a reluctance to go on dates in the cold. You can also offer the groom as a test to remember some poem on a winter theme.

In addition, the attributes of winter themselves can become part of the test: either cut as many snowflakes as possible in a certain time, or pull out a snowflake key in order to open the door behind which the bride is hidden, while you need to talk about the qualities of the bride, about your promises on future. Another option: on a frozen window (real or drawn on paper), stick a declaration of love to your bride, describe the bride.

Be in a fairy tale


Also, one should not forget about Russian culture, in which there are stories (tales, most often) about winter, there are characters that are associated with winter time. One of these may be the Snow Queen. And the competition, organized with her, is connected with the fact that the groom and his friends need to disenchant the bride, having previously stolen from the Snow Queen, or is connected with the need to melt the heart of the bride in a certain way.

Other heroes can be the Nutcracker and the Rat King. Appearing at the ransom, the Rat King invites the groom's friends to disenchant the groom. Before this test, the groom is given the appearance of a Nutcracker, either by putting on him some kind of rigid frame, or just a suit. And the task for friends involves the need to crack a nut (walnut, for example) in any way.

If the space in which the ransom is organized allows, tests can be associated with the fairy tale "Twelve Months", for example, complete the task of each "month".

When organizing the ransom of the bride, one should always be guided by a sense of proportion: should all tests be tied to winter time, this is another argument for choosing a combined option, when tests on the street and indoors are evenly distributed.

The script for the ransom of the bride in winter

When the newlyweds are planning a wedding, and especially the bride's ransom, they pay attention not only to the season, but also to the weather. After all, a winter wedding is characterized by a lot of snow, a strong snowstorm or frost. Therefore, it is better to implement the scenario of the ransom of the bride in winter indoors and to associate the ongoing wedding competitions with the winter weather conditions in Russia. However, you should not overdo it either, so that the invited guests do not get tired and freeze. The site Svadbagolik.ru offers you its winter scenario.

So, the meeting of the groom

Of course, it would be ideal if the groom and friends came by sleigh, but a regular car will do. Approaching the entrance of the beloved, the company and all those present meet the bridesmaids.

Bridesmaid:

- Hello, dear guests,
Hurry up!
If to us - why tell?

The groom replies that he came for the bride who lives in this house.

- For the bride? Fine!
We are already waiting for you.
Yes, we have a fiancee
Impossible to take your eyes off
But it takes a lot of effort
To get her hand.

The first test in the winter bride price scenario

On the doors hangs a poster in the form of a large heart with the inscription: Why am I getting married? Around this inscription are options for answering this question.

  1. by calculation
  2. bride forced
  3. foolishly
  4. out of need
  5. out of curiosity
  6. damn it
  7. for love
  8. mom said
  9. friends advised

The groom and his friends are invited to make a snowball and hit the right answer. For each wrong answer or miss, a penalty is imposed.

After the groom has chosen the correct answer. Nothing happens. The doors still don't open. And then the bridesmaids report that in order to enter the entrance, the groom must say aloud a secret cipher. When the groom guesses that he needs to shout “I love you”, the bridesmaids say that apparently he shouted too quietly, so the door did not open.

After these words, the groom and friends begin to shout together very loudly. However, the bridesmaids immediately punish them for making noise in a public place.

After paying the ransom, the door to the entrance opens and the groom lets in.

Snow Queen Challenge

After the groom enters the entrance, he is met by the bridesmaid dressed as the "Snow Queen" and reports that because of the long blizzard and snowstorm, the bride's heart froze. Therefore, the groom will have to melt it.

White frozen hearts should lie on each step to the elevator. Now the groom will have to stop at each step to answer the insidious questions of the Snow Queen.

Bridesmaid playing the role of the Snow Queen:

- Answer the groom slowly,
When was your fiancee born?

What drink does father-in-law like?
And what can you eat?

- There is no easier question,
Can you tell me your mother-in-law's birthday?

Say without hesitation
Does the bride love whites?

- What is the bride's favorite flower,
Answer us soon, beloved fiance?

If the groom allows incorrect answers, he is asked for a ransom in the form of money, champagne, wine, sweets or fruit. Only after paying off can he move on to the next step.

The final test in the winter bride price scenario

Once in the elevator, the groom meets a snowman, who explains that the bride's heart has almost thawed, but since all girls love with their ears, the groom's next task is to give compliments and find the key to her heart.

The groom is given a mug prepared in advance, at the bottom of which a small key is placed. From above it was covered with small white snowflakes from snow.

The groom's goal is to get the key from the bottom, but taking out the snowflake one by one from the mug, he must compliment. Witnesses can actively help a friend. When, finally, all the snowflakes are over, the groom can easily get the key to the heart of his beloved.

With this key, she can open the apartment of her beloved, find her in the room and revive her with a fiery kiss.

Of course, winter is a magical time that is associated with some kind of miracle and magic. In the scenario of the ransom of the bride in winter, you can use ideas from your favorite winter fairy tales, beating them in a modern way. The main thing is that even when winter is around, love warms the hearts of lovers!

It's winter in our yard, so let's look together for a scenario for the ransom of the bride in winter in order to start the amazing, main event of life in a colorful and fun way! But first, let's find out some interesting facts about the ancient rite "Ransom of the Bride".

How were brides redeemed?

The rite, in which the bride is redeemed from relatives for a symbolic (champagne, sweets, painted banknotes, gifts) or real (money) payment, has been performed at every wedding since time immemorial.

Earlier, since the evening, a wedding train was being prepared in the groom's house - they decorated wagons, combed the guy's curls, cut out tufts of hair so that a cross formed on his crown - from the evil eye. The next morning, dressed in a new shirt and a belt embroidered with the hands of the bride, the groom with friends and relatives rolled to the bride's house. But before they let the groom into the house, they had to cope with various obstacles - to overcome the road blocked by logs (tables, stones, ribbons), to pretend to fight with fists with the bride's relatives, to redeem her braid, wreath, dressed up burdock bush - in a word, to win the right by any means take your loved one out of the house.

How is the ransom of the bride today?

The colorful ceremony has not only survived to this day, but also belongs to the most wonderful moments of wedding fun. Bridesmaids and bridesmaids are enthusiastically preparing for it - it is they who stop the motorcade in front of the house where the bride is waiting (traditionally climbing onto a stool). In order for the groom to get the right to take off the stool and kiss his chosen one, he is offered various comic contests, for example:

  • indicate in which box the wedding shoe is located, choosing from the three offered;
  • recognize your future wife in children's photographs;
  • choose the imprint of the bride's lips among other imprints;
  • accurately determine the key to the room where his betrothed is hidden;
  • answer questions about the bride and her family;
  • determine which of the proposed ropes the bride is tied to.

And many other fun puzzles. Grooms defame with might and main, try to circle their girlfriends around their fingers, pay with counterfeit money, try their best to witty answer insidious questions, to the general rejoicing of those around them.

Especially creative girlfriends come up with themed ransoms - there are a lot of ideas for them: a student session, a flight to family life with an airline named after the bride, ransoms in the style of the mafia, medicine.

Whichever scenario is chosen, you need to consider where and when the ransom will take place. Let's consider the scenario of buying a bride in the winter in a private house, and choose the good old fairy tale "The Snow Queen" as the theme for it.

Scenario "The Snow Queen"

For the ransom to be successful, you don’t need to make it tediously long - the guests will get tired, the groom will get confused, there will be awkward pauses, and the festive impression will be spoiled. It is not worth forcing the groom to seek the bride for more than half an hour. Moreover, winter is cold! Do not keep people in front of the house in the cold.

We'll have to take care of the props and costumes. The bridegroom, as soon as he appears in front of the gates of the house, the queen's servants will throw on a cape (all the participants playing the roles will be in the same ones) and put on a horse - what a prince without a horse! You can get by with a horse's head on a stick. At the gates of the groom-prince there are hanging posters answering the question “Why are you getting married?”:

  • mother advised;
  • friends persuaded;
  • stupidity;
  • out of cowardice;
  • the bride forced;
  • by calculation;
  • for love.

You can post any number of answers. As soon as the groom hits the right answer with a snowball from a decent distance (for missing the mark - a fine), the gates are opened for him. And the assistant to the frozen queen, sadly reports that the heart of her mistress froze. Melting is possible, but you have to make great efforts!

Large cardboard hearts covered with foil are laid out on the path - they show the way. For each heart, you need to stand up and answer the riddle in order to move on. It is not easy to get on them - each is guarded by an ice idol, which will have to be defeated. For this, the groom will be given a sword. But you can bribe the idol - they also take money, sweets, gifts.

Questions to be answered by the prince:

  • when his Snow Queen was born;
  • What is her favorite dish?
  • what date did the prince meet the queen;
  • When was the Queen's mother born?
  • Is the Queen's dad's birthday coming soon?

The list of questions can be supplemented, but remember - it should not be endless!

As soon as the groom has passed all the hearts and is already standing at the porch, the Polar Bear, the servant of the queen, brings him an ice bucket full of snowflakes (we do everything from cardboard and foil). At the bottom is hidden the key to the halls of the Snow Queen. To get it, you need, taking out each snowflake, shout one compliment to the queen, and very loudly - the queen wants to hear them! Friends help the groom yell compliments at the whole neighborhood.

When the last recognition of the bride's merits is heard, triumphal music will play (to your taste), confetti will fall, depicting a salute, and the groom will solemnly enter the house for the bride. Hooray!

And other ideas

You can try other ideas for contests suitable for winter. And looking video scenario of the redemption of the bride in winter, it will be even easier to choose - it is better to see how the ransom really looks than to try to mentally imagine it. There are many interesting topics, and all are worthy of attention.

You can take a closer look at the scenario "Old Russia" - when the groom dressed in shirts comes for the bride with friends and accordion players on sledges, carts, even on tractors! They bawl songs and ditties, pretend that they are fighting on fists.

Or to the scenario "Gypsies" - the bride was stolen by a camp and you need to redeem her from the gypsies. Violins, guitars, incendiary dances, beautiful romances, colorful skirts, “gild the pen” contests!

  • no need to invent for the groom complex, confusing him (and even more so offending contests;
  • do not force the groom to endlessly lay out money! Take a ransom with sweets, champagne, painted banknotes (“money”, “a lot of money”, “big money”) - your goal is not to make money on the sale of the bride, but to set everyone up for fun!
  • pouring alcohol to the groom is a big risk! The prince still needs to get to the Wedding Palace!
  • think it might be better to choose a script in prose? After all, the groom will not be able to answer your questions in verse with verse.
  • You don't have to learn your role by heart! You can read the cheat sheet, but do not forget about artistry.

And most importantly, it is good to understand that the ransom of the bride is the beginning of the wedding, its task is to cheer everyone up, set the mood for the holiday, set the tone! Therefore, the faster and more joyfully it passes, the better! Learn how to make DIY wedding invitations.
