For a long time, the ransom of the bride has been and remains an important component of the wedding ceremony. But, if earlier it bore the character of a real transfer of various values to the bride's relatives for the departure of a girl from a kind to a groom's family, nowadays it is just a tribute to tradition. However, it is rare for a wedding to be complete without a ransom. Therefore, the question of how to be the groom at the wedding does not lose its relevance today.
It is necessary
banknotes of small denomination, cash coins, soft toys, gifts to mother-in-law and relatives, 2-3 bottles of champagne, sweets
Instructions
Step 1
Get the support of a few friends in advance for this wedding ceremony. Let, in addition to the witness, there will be 2-3 more "smart-tongued" and witty comrades next to you - you will definitely need their help.
Step 2
Stock up on the eve of the wedding with small banknotes and coins - without them you risk spending a considerable amount of money when buying the bride, because at almost every stage of this ceremony you will try to take as many banknotes as possible from you. It just so happened that the groom's pockets should be properly emptied during the redemption, and the bridesmaids' pockets should be filled.
Step 3
Have a few bottles of champagne (at least 2-3), sweets, soft toys designed to “coax” the bride's friends with you on the ransom. And for the future mother-in-law and relatives, buy painted scarves, cosmetics and other gifts, which, according to the rite, should "melt" the hearts of the relatives guarding the bride.
Step 4
Set yourself up to the fact that, in addition to showing generosity, you have to test your memory, show ingenuity and speed of reaction, because the tests awaiting you are designed to reveal precisely these qualities of the future husband. A set of ransom contests usually involves an excursion into the history of dating the bride and groom, a test of the knowledge of various affectionate words and the identification of additional talents of the groom in singing, dancing, drawing with closed eyes, and so on.
Step 5
Please be patient: do not tune yourself into behavior like "give your beloved, otherwise there will be no wedding." Your bride will certainly be given to you, but the future family album will irrevocably lose a few funny and touching photos of this wedding ceremony. And the mood of the bridesmaids, your chosen one and even her relatives will noticeably deteriorate, because they were preparing for the ransom, they were in the mood for this cheerful and harmless action. So patience will come in handy, coupled with a good mood.
Step 6
Give your friends freedom of action during the ransom: they must neutralize and charm the “mischievous” bridesmaids seeking to get as much money from you as possible. The groom, on the other hand, should keep himself solid and dignified, because you still have to prove yourself at the wedding. However, the charisma and the ability to be the soul of the company will be appreciated by all those present. Do not overdo it only with coquetry with the witness and the use of alcoholic drinks (this will also be offered to the redeemer).
Step 7
Don't be stingy - don't slip copier-printed money on your bridesmaids instead of real money. Leave it to your entourage, and proudly pay at the buyback stages with real money and gifts. Your bride should be proud of her future spouse: generous, loyal and worthy of her. It will be ideal if you conquer everyone (including the future mother-in-law) by recognizing your chosen one in infant photographs, gentle modern serenades and a huge number of skills and abilities in the role of the future husband and father of the family.
Step 8
Relax and enjoy this "disgrace" called "ransom", because you are getting married forever, which means that there will be no other such action in your life.
Well, of course, unless you decide to remarry …
