Wedding is coming soon! Take care in advance how to carry out the ransom of the bride, create a festive atmosphere. I would very much like this happy event to remain in the hearts of the newlyweds for a long time.
Where did this tradition come from?
In ancient times, when a girl was given in marriage, relatives demanded a ransom for her (and the amount was not small at all). All this happened due to the fact that the family was losing labor, in the person of their daughter. After all, before the girls who were given in marriage were given to the husband's family.
In our time, now everything is different! Now, the newlywed bridesmaids are coming up with a fun way to spend the bride ransom to set the tone for the holiday. It is with this fun event that the wedding begins!
All that ransom, which was collected by the bridesmaids, then participates in the banquet. In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, all the nuances of this ceremony should be discussed in advance.
How to redeem a bride
A few tips on how to properly carry out a bride ransom, what to prepare for:
- Make sure that the groom has something to pay. For example, exchange small bills. But the groom must pay not only with money! It can be candy, champagne, wine, and even a dance or song, for which there is enough imagination! Beforehand, talk to the groom - perhaps he does not accept any tests.
- Take the "container" with you. It is often possible to observe a picture when those participating in the ceremony carry candies, bottles, money in their hands, and this is not convenient. The bags do not look very aesthetically pleasing, it is better to take baskets, a large vase. For creative bridesmaids, glue a large ransom box yourself.
- If you still do not know where to carry out the ransom of the bride, then we answer: the groom takes the bride from her parents' house. If a girl lives in a multi-storey building, then on each floor some kind of test is carried out, the entrance is beautifully decorated.
- Also, the groom should call his beloved so that she looks out of the window onto the street. If the bride lives on the twentieth floor, then don't overdo it! Reduce the trials a little so that the entire ransom lasts no more than half an hour, do not tire the groom.
- Competitions and tests should be fun, please the guests and the groom himself. They are invented so that all the stress goes away, because young people, parents, guests - everyone is worried, and the ransom will defuse the situation, just before painting.
- Do everything so that the groom does not lose face! If suddenly he does not know the poem by heart, take a book of poetry with you. If you don't remember your mother-in-law's birthday, prepare a big, noticeable hint. Remember, ransom is not a school exam!
