A sign of good luck: an odd number of guests should be present at the wedding.

At the end of the tunnel, the bride's parents meet the young with a cup (glass) of wine, from which the groom first drinks, and then the bride. Then the groom drinks what his chosen one did not finish (as a sign of respect for her), and breaks the glass on the floor. The newlyweds walk along the broken pieces to the table. The bowl is a symbol of unity. It is smashed for happiness and passed through the fragments as a sign of farewell to the past.

Dear guests! Now I will ask you to get your wallets. After all, a wedding is not only a fun and joyful event, but also a commercial one. So you will have to help the newlyweds to put together an initial capital. But they will not remain indebted to you either. They will give any of you their very a passionate kiss. But make no mistake, they won't kiss you. They kiss, of course, with each other. But only for those of you who will give a large amount for their kiss.

So kiss the newlyweds! The starting price is (amount) rubles. Who is bigger?

A comic bargaining begins, the price of the kiss grows every minute, and in the end the toastmaster announces that the kiss has been sold. Young people dedicate their kiss to the one who gave the largest amount for it.

It is considered a good omen if it rains on the wedding day.

After that, the toastmaster gives the floor to those who wish. Guests make toasts, drink and eat.

Witness, referring to the groom: - Friend! Are you sure you took an unmarried wife? Have you carefully examined it for flaws? Let's check her suitability together.

To make them happy.

Each guest who wants to give a gift to the young raises a glass, says a toast in honor of the bride and groom, and then hands over a gift or puts money on a tray.

The parents of the newlyweds choose in advance a relative who will collect money or gifts.

in Thailand during wedding ceremony newlyweds, entwined with garlands, sit on their knees and hold hands. The oldest relative of the husband puts the hands of the bride and groom into the water, after which he declares them husband and wife.

After that, the guests drink and eat for some time. Then the groom's friend and the bride's girlfriend take the floor. They read out to the guests and newlyweds the "Order of the Federation of Girlfriends" and the "Order of the Society of Bachelors."

Girlfriends Federation Decree

The insidious enemy (name of the groom) snatched from our ranks a fighter for women's freedom(name of the bride). In this regard, we have decided that the bride must:

In financial matters, observe the division of labor: give the husband the honorable right to earn money, and take on the impossible and responsible task of spending it;

Avoid the presence of the husband during the process of buying goods and outfits;

Cross the street where the husband wants, but lead him where she wants;

Do not let your husband go a step away from you;

To give birth to the husband of a child, provided that he will raise him.

Bachelor Society Ordinance

With deep regret, we inform you that the society of bachelors today has suffered a huge loss - (the name of the groom), who has faithfully served our just cause for so many years, is dropping out of its ranks. Unfortunately, lately he has begun to visit too often (name of the bride), luring her into love networks.

Considering all these facts, we decided:

Exclude the groom from the ranks of our glorious society;

Award (name of the groom) with the Order of Merit for the Society of Bachelors;

Officially wish the traitor happiness, and his bride - peace and love;

Inform the groom that he should not argue with his wife, since only in this case will she consider that he is right;

Take a promise from the groom that he will return home from work earlier or later than the scheduled time in order to confuse his wife.

After that, the groom's friend or bridesmaid proposes a toast to the bride and groom.

Guests drink and eat. Someone after drinking a glass shouts: “Bitter!”

Like the first kiss

beautiful first waltz.

Let the young people dance it for us now.

Well, those who do not want to watch the waltz on the spot,

The bride and groom can safely join.

Louder, music, play, louder, songs, sing!

Form, guests, a circle, do not stand still!

The guests stand in a circle, in the center of which the bride and groom dance the first dance.

After that, the toastmaster announces the beginning entertainment program. The first competition is for the bride and groom, then for the witnesses.

Then the guests dance, and then the toastmaster asks everyone to sit down and show lottery tickets, which they bought at the very beginning of the banquet. A win-win lottery is announced. Guests play joke prizes, and the toastmaster gives each of them a gift with comments.

Before the beginning wedding feast relatives of the newlyweds sell tickets to guests win-win lottery, all the profits from which go to the young. Prizes are various souvenirs and toys.

After that, the guests drink and eat again. This is followed by dances, competitions, games, drinking songs and other entertainment.

In the midst of the evening, the groom's friend (rival) organizes the "stealing" of the bride. Talking to someone or leaving the table, the groom is surprised to find that the bride is not there. The witness shouts that the bride was stolen, after which they either look for the newlywed, or immediately collect a ransom so that the rival returns her.

In Russia, the theft of the bride has never been committed - this is the custom of the southern peoples. If the admirer could not get the girl legally (when there was nothing to pay bride price or when the bride's parents were against marriage), he took her away, that is, without the consent of the parents.

Suddenly, the groom's friends enter the hall, disguised as Coward, Dunce and Experienced, and sing the song "If I were a Sultan ...". Then they announce the conditions for the return of the bride or the amount of the ransom, having received which the opponent, so be it, will return the bride to her lawful husband.

Then the “thief” himself comes out, he officially declares the theft and, as evidence, shows the bride’s shoe to the groom and guests. Tamada asks to return the newlywed in a good way. However, the "thief" is adamant.

The witness walks around the guests with a tray in his hands, with a request to help the unfortunate groom free his beloved from captivity. When he returns and shows the collected money to the "thief", he is capricious - not enough.

It’s bad you asked the guests to help, since you collected so little money. And you do something for the guests, then they will be more generous.

Tamada asks the witness to sing a song, then tap dance, and in conclusion - a striptease.

Of course, you should not persuade the witness to be completely naked - it is enough to take off the witness tape, jacket, tie, shirt, and shoes to the music.

In some peoples of Tibet, a woman has the right to have two husbands.

The witness then collects the money again and shows it to the "thief". He, so be it, agrees to return the bride. He's leaving.

Bridegroom, loudly call your beloved! Let her know that you are waiting for her!

The groom calls the bride as loudly as possible. A "thief" appears on the threshold with the bride in her arms, since her shoe remains in the hall.

The young husband takes her from hand to hand at the "thief". The latter demands his well-deserved ransom.

Because you made such a mess, you should drink from the bride's shoe.

Of course, the "thief" does not drink from the shoe itself. They put a glass of drink or a glass of champagne in it. The "thief" drinks, takes the collected money and immediately donates it to the fund of a young family.

In Croatia after graduation wedding celebration married relatives of the bride remove the veil from the bride and put on a scarf instead. After that, the guests go around the well three times and, as a sign of the future wealth of the young, throw apples and coins into it.

At the end of the evening, the young people cut the wedding cake and sell it to the guests. Instead of money, they may demand that the guest perform a song or dance, tell a joke, read a poem, etc.

Then the newlyweds are escorted. Tamada makes a speech, gives the floor to parents, witnesses and everyone. Against the backdrop of general applause, the newlyweds go out into the street, where volleys of festive fireworks are heard in their honor. Then the young resiliently get into the car and leave.

From the scenario of the wedding banquet proposed below, designed for a celebration in the Russian style in compliance with most traditions.

The program of which includes elements of the wedding ceremony that have come to us over the past few years from European countries ...

Young people come to the venue of the wedding banquet. The road along which they will walk is covered with a long carpet path. It should lead from the place where the newlyweds' car will stop to the very table.

Sign: in order for the wedding to go well, before going to bed on the eve of the celebration, the bride should put a mirror under the pillow.

At the entrance to the banquet hall, the newlyweds are greeted by the groom's parents with bread and salt. The bride and groom break off a piece of loaf, dip it in salt and eat it. The meaning of this ceremony is to wish young people wealth.

On the way of the newlyweds to the table, the guests form a kind of tunnel of hands: standing on both sides of the path, they hold each other's hands, raising them. The newlyweds must pass through this tunnel, which symbolizes the road to happiness.

A sign of good luck: an odd number of guests should be present at the wedding.

At the end of the tunnel, the bride's parents meet the young with a cup (glass) of wine, from which the groom first drinks, and then the bride. Then the groom drinks what his chosen one did not finish (as a sign of respect for her), and breaks the glass on the floor. The newlyweds walk along the broken pieces to the table. The bowl is a symbol of unity. It is smashed for happiness and passed through the fragments as a sign of farewell to the past.

Sign: so that there are no quarrels in the family, after the marriage, the young should look in one mirror.

From now on, all the obstacles that you will face in life, you will overcome together. And the first hurdle you have to overcome right now. If you do this, then you can handle the rest.

The groom must take his beloved in his arms and step over the ribbon.

The witness invites guests to the table:

- We ask you to the table, dear guests! May you have fun.

The guests are seated at the table.

Witness:

Let's raise our glasses to the young!

Guests uncork bottles of champagne, pour the drink into glasses.

Witness:

Witness:

- Let bad weather not overtake you in life,

Let only happiness accompany you.

We raise glasses for peace in the family,

We wish you boundless love.

So that there is more sense in your life,

All the guests will now shout loudly: “Bitter!”

The guests pick up the call of the witness, the young kiss each other. Guests drink and eat.

– A miracle happened before our eyes – a new family was born. But the family is not only love, but also a duty, respect and reverence for each other. This our newlyweds still have to learn. And to make it easier for them, the witnesses will now read to them the “Moral Code of the Family”.

Witnesses in order:

- You, husband, always love your wife,

And if you scold, then forgive.

You can't do without tact

You don't get mad at her jokes.

You are not in court, not a prosecutor,

Very fast for accusations.

Don't be, otherwise it's a shame

Resolve a family dispute.

- Wife, claims, reproaches

Any marriage is shortened.

Do not humiliate, do not criticize your spouse,

Even though it will be very, very difficult.

Don't make decisions for your spouse

Decide together, not for each other.

mother-in-law:

- Happy wedding day, dear, congratulations to you

Good luck, we wish you happiness!

Live well, love each other

After all, from this day you are husband and wife.

May your life always be bright

And there will be love above all,

May happiness save her from evil,

Everyone will find in each other what they are looking for.

Let your life flow like a river

On the road that knows no barriers!

And let over your head

Only three constellations are burning.

- One constellation - Love,

Other - Loyalty and Happiness,

And the third is just Kindness.

Let them sparkle over the family

So that all dreams come true.

The toastmaster offers a drink to make the wishes of the parents come true.

Dear parents of the bride and groom! Thank you for raising such wonderful children. Thank you for the sleepless nights, for your love and tenderness, for your exactingness and severity, for the fact that your eyes shine with happiness when you look at your children! Your children love you and are ready to bow to you for everything you have done for them.

The newlyweds leave the table and bow to their parents, after which the toastmaster offers a toast to the parents of the bride and groom. For some time, the guests drink and eat, then the toastmaster offers to drink for the witnesses.

You can entertain the guests at the very beginning of the festive feast. To do this, when the wedding table is set, as if by accident they forget to put the forks, which are subsequently sold to guests for a nominal fee. Money from the sale of cutlery is given to the newlyweds.

- Dear guests! Now I will ask you to get your wallets. After all, a wedding is not only a fun and joyful event, but also a commercial one. So you will have to help the newlyweds to put together an initial capital. But they will not remain indebted to you. They will give any of you their most passionate kiss. But make no mistake, they won't kiss you. They kiss, of course, with each other. But only for those of you who will give a large amount for their kiss.

So kiss the newlyweds! The starting price is (amount) rubles. Who is bigger?

A comic bargaining begins, the price of the kiss grows every minute, and in the end the toastmaster announces that the kiss has been sold. Young people dedicate their kiss to the one who gave the largest amount for it.

It is considered a good omen if it rains on the wedding day.

After that, the toastmaster gives the floor to those who wish. Guests make toasts, drink and eat.

Witness, addressing the groom: - Friend! Are you sure you took an unmarried wife? Have you carefully examined it for flaws? Let's check her suitability together.

The witness invites the bride to fully dress the doll in a minute - from shoes to a hat.

After she copes with the task, the witness solemnly reads her technical passport.

If the storage conditions and operating rules are met, the validity of the wife is not limited.

After that, the witness proposes a toast to the young wife. Guests drink and eat.

Witness:

- We checked the young wife. She is all right. And is it so good with a newly-made husband? Girlfriend, when you chose it, did you take a good look at it? Is everything functioning normally? Let's check the groom in action.

The witness gives the groom four wooden bars, a plank, a hammer and nails and offers to put together a table in five minutes. In this case, the groom can call for help from one of the guests. After he completes the task, the guests are invited to drink for his success. Guests drink and eat.

Witness:

Witness:

- Dear guests! Don't go anywhere. Our witness appears to have had too much to drink. Who does not happen to a wedding ... You will forgive him. He was wrong about the order. There is such a document. It will now be read to you by the marshal of the active army of married couples.

The grandfather or father of one of the newlyweds is invited as a marshal.

Order to create a family

Today (date) at (time) a new family is formed and registered. In accordance with the Law on Marriage and Family, I order:

To call on the actual indefinite service of a bachelor (the name of the groom), since he passed the medical commission and was found fit for military family life;

Assign him in connection with this the title of "husband", his mother - "mother-in-law", his father - "father-in-law";

- Dear guests! With your permission

We are starting a giveaway!

Give gifts to the young

To make them happy.

Each guest who wants to give a gift to the newlyweds raises a glass, makes a toast in honor of the bride and groom, and then hands the gift or puts money on the tray.

The parents of the newlyweds choose in advance a relative who will collect money or gifts.

In Thailand, during the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds, entwined with garlands, sit on their knees and hold hands. The oldest relative of the husband puts the hands of the bride and groom into the water, after which he declares them husband and wife.

After that, the guests drink and eat for some time. Then the groom's friend and the bride's girlfriend take the floor. They read out to the guests and newlyweds the "Order of the Federation of Girlfriends" and the "Order of the Society of Bachelors."

Girlfriends Federation Decree

The insidious enemy (the name of the groom) pulled out the fighter for women's freedom (the name of the bride) from our ranks. In this regard, we have decided that the bride must:

In financial matters, observe the division of labor: give the husband the honorable right to earn money, and take on the impossible and responsible task of spending it;

Avoid the presence of the husband during the process of buying goods and outfits;

Cross the street where the husband wants, but lead him where she wants;

Do not let your husband go a single step away from you;

To give birth to the husband of a child, provided that he will raise him.

Bachelor Society Ordinance

With deep regret, we inform you that the society of bachelors today has suffered a huge loss - (the name of the groom), who has faithfully served our just cause for so many years, is dropping out of its ranks. Unfortunately, in Lately he began to visit too often (name of the bride), luring her into love networks.

Considering all these facts, we decided:

Exclude the groom from the ranks of our glorious society;

Award (name of the groom) with the Order of Merit for the Society of Bachelors;

Officially wish the traitor happiness, and his bride - peace and love;

Inform the groom that he should not argue with his wife, since only in this case will she consider that he is right;

Take a promise from the groom that he will return home from work earlier or later than the scheduled time in order to confuse his wife.

After that, the groom's friend or bridesmaid proposes a toast to the bride and groom.

Guests drink and eat. Someone after drinking a glass shouts: “Bitter!”

Like the first kiss

beautiful first waltz.

In Russia, the theft of the bride has never been committed - this is the custom of the southern peoples. If the fan could not get the girl legally (when there was nothing to pay bride price or when the bride's parents were against marriage), he took her away, that is, without the consent of the parents.

Suddenly, the groom's friends enter the hall, dressed in the costumes of the Coward, Dunce and Experienced, and sing the song "If I were a Sultan ...". Then they announce the conditions for the return of the bride or the amount of the ransom, having received which the opponent, so be it, will return the bride to her lawful husband.

Then the “thief” himself comes out, he officially declares the theft and, as evidence, shows the bride’s shoe to the groom and guests. Tamada asks to return the newlywed in a good way. However, the "thief" is adamant.

The witness walks around the guests with a tray in his hands, with a request to help the unfortunate groom free his beloved from captivity. When he returns and shows the “thief” the collected money, he is capricious - not enough.

“For causing such a disgrace, you should drink from the bride’s shoe.”

Of course, the "thief" does not drink from the shoe itself. They put a glass of drink or a glass of champagne in it. The "thief" drinks, takes the collected money and immediately donates it to the fund of a young family.

In Croatia, after the end of the wedding celebration, married relatives of the bride remove the veil from the bride and put on a scarf instead. After that, the guests go around the well three times and, as a sign of the future wealth of the young, throw apples and coins into it.

At the end of the evening, the young people cut the wedding cake and sell it to the guests. Instead of money, they may require the guest to perform a song or dance, tell a joke, read a poem, etc.

Then the newlyweds are escorted. Tamada makes a speech, gives the floor to parents, witnesses and everyone. Against the backdrop of general applause, the newlyweds go out into the street, where volleys of festive fireworks are heard in their honor. Then the young resilients get into the car and leave.

Scenario traditional wedding

When the wedding cortege arrives at the restaurant, the newlyweds are met by the toastmaster, the parents of the bride and groom, and guests. In the center of the procession are mothers, at the edges of them are fathers, and guests are in a semicircle. The groom's mother holds a loaf with a salt cellar on a painted towel, and the bride's mother holds an icon in her hands, and the father holds two glasses of champagne. The toastmaster distributes sweets, wheat (millet, rice) and small money to all guests.

Toastmaster: We meet our young ones, may God carry them in their arms! Guests shower the bride and groom with sweets, wheat and money, which symbolizes good luck in life, beautiful children and wealth. Then, to thunderous applause, the newlyweds approach their parents.

Mother of the bride: I bless you for this union and may your family be strong and friendly. He crosses the newlyweds with the icon of the newlyweds and kisses the bride and groom.

Groom's mother: According to an old custom, so that your house is a full bowl, try bread and salt.

Toastmaster: First you need to salt the loaf. Whoever salts more will play the solo part in the family! Now break the loaf. Whoever breaks more will be the head of the family! Now bite off the piece that you broke off. Whoever bites off the most will be the first ... (after a pause) yield in all disagreements!

After the “young” have tasted bread and salt, the toastmaster or folklore ensemble sings the song “My Charochka”, and dads bring glasses of champagne to the newlyweds (the father of the bride to the groom, the father of the groom to the bride). The newlyweds drink champagne and throw glasses over their left shoulder for good luck. Glasses are broken, and a flurry of applause is heard. Then the toastmaster invites everyone to go to the center of the hall and asks the guests to congratulate the newlyweds and present flowers.
The toastmaster invites the newlyweds and guests to the table and talks about the seating rules at the wedding table (the table is usually placed with the letter "P" or the letter "T").

Toastmaster: Dear friends, I ask everyone to the festive table. At the head of the table sit the "young", next to the witnesses, then parents, grandparents and close relatives, then friends and acquaintances.

After the newlyweds and guests have taken their places, the toastmaster continues:
Dear friends and guests, I ask you to fill your glasses and draw your attention to our young couple.
In Russia, this is how it is, at a wedding, guests drink wine.
Let's support, having gathered here together, the custom of the first Russians
For the happiness of the bride and groom, let's raise our first glass!

Tamada together with the guests: Advice, yes love!

Toastmaster: At our celebration (wedding) there are people to whom our newlyweds literally owe their lives. These wonderful people led the newlyweds along the path of life, worried about them and shared joys and failures. These people are the parents of our "young". And I am pleased to give the floor to the groom's parents - the patronymic names of the parents.

Groom's parents toast.

Toastmaster: And now I am pleased to give the floor to the parents of the bride - the patronymic names of the parents.

Musical pause.

Toastmaster: Many wedding ceremonies and traditions change over time. Literally some 20-30 years ago, everything was different. And in our hall there are people with great life and family experience, these are the grandparents of our “young”. It is to them that I now want to give the floor.

Grandparents' wedding toast.

Toastmaster: After the wedding, the newlyweds often have disagreements about who will do what at home. To prevent these disputes, the distribution of family responsibilities will now take place.

The toastmaster invites the newlyweds to go to the center of the hall, where there are 10 balloons, in which 9 pieces of paper are enclosed with the duties of the "young", for example:
I will give birth to children
I will raise children
I will make money
I will spend money
I will drive the car
I will clean the apartment
I will bring coffee to bed,
I will wash the dishes
I will go on vacation.
100 USD is placed in the tenth ball, whoever gets this ball will be the family financier. Also, there is a tradition that these $100 should be kept and sealed in a frame, and they will bring good luck in prosperity and in the family business.
The newlyweds take turns piercing the balloons and reading out their family obligations.

Dance of the newlyweds - the toastmaster invites the newlyweds to the first wedding dance. After the dance of the “young”, the toastmaster announces the dance of the witnesses and the dance of the parents.

Dance break.

Tamada invites the newlyweds and guests to the table.

Tamada announces the start of the official ceremony of congratulations and presenting gifts to the newlyweds. This rite in the common people is called "solemn detour".
Guests come up to a young family, congratulate the bride and groom, give a gift and raise their glasses to the happiness and health of the newlyweds. There is also another version of the “ceremonial round”, when witnesses with a tray in their hands go around the table clockwise, while everyone is presented with a glass of wine and collect gifts.

Before the musical break, in order to prepare the guests for dancing, the toastmaster holds a competition, which consists in the following: the host of the program invites 3-4 pairs of participants and gives each pair one balloon three-quarters inflated. A pair of participants, without the help of hands, pinches the ball between themselves. Cheerful music sounds, for example "lambada". The task is to make the balloon explode during the dance.

Dance break.

Tamada invites everyone to the table.

Tamada provides 2-3 toasts at will.

Toastmaster: Dear newlyweds, the sages say that love brings together, this is true. But, in order not to be unfounded, I invite you to the center of the hall and ask you to move away from each other by 10 steps. Now I ask each of you in turn to take steps towards meeting your betrothed and betrothed, while calling each other affectionate words.

As the newlyweds join in an embrace, the toastmaster proclaims: Love truly unites!

Dance break.

The host invites everyone to the table and announces the culmination of the wedding program. Solemn music is heard, and a wedding cake is brought into the hall.
The newlyweds cut the cake, try it themselves and treat the guests.

Tamada talks about the tradition of the wedding bouquet and garter, and invites the bride and groom to the center of the hall. Then, the toastmaster invites unmarried girls to the center of the hall, it is to them that the bride throws a wedding bouquet, and after that unmarried men who fight for possession of the wedding garter. According to tradition, those who caught the bouquet and garter will meet their love within a year and then play a wedding.

And the wedding evening ends with the official speech of the newlyweds, in which they thank their parents, friends and relatives that they helped in organizing (holding) the wedding and came on this significant day to congratulate the newlyweds.
