What do you want?” - happiness asked the hostess of the house. And she replied that she did not have a mink coat, and the hostess received a fur coat. Happiness asked adult daughter housewife: "What do you want?" - and she replied that she wanted to marry an overseas prince - and she married an overseas prince. Happiness asked the owner’s son: “What do you want?” “I want,” he says, “a bicycle, I will be happy if there is a bicycle,” and the boy got a bicycle. And already on the threshold of the house, happiness saw the owner and asked: “What do you want?” The owner thought and said: “I want the warmth of the family hearth to never leave my house.” And happiness fulfilled the owner’s request and did not leave this house, because happiness lives only where the family hearth burns!”

Here we are left behind wedding vows, wedding dress, the wedding banquet has died down. All fairy tales and films about romantic relationships end with a wedding. What happens to the newlyweds? Do they love each other the same as before or does love dissolve into Everyday life? Does love even exist after marriage?

The first month after the wedding is really like a continuation in most cases. fairy tale. The wife is happy - because her beloved is always there, the husband is happy - he was able to conquer the woman of his dreams. The wedding banquet continues.

But over time, both spouses begin to feel that something has changed and not always in better side. Such a change in relationships drives not only the woman, but also the man into despair. It turns out that it's real living together very different from the one the spouses imagined.

What changes in a relationship

• first, you start living together. Your usual way of life is being disrupted, now you need to adapt to another person, give up some of your habits.
• expenses and income are now shared. We need to agree on how to manage a joint budget.
• After the wedding, a feeling of responsibility for your family appears. In the event of a conflict, you cannot simply turn around and leave; you need to learn to solve problems.

Relationship changes after marriage

Love does not go away after the wedding, as newlyweds might mistakenly think - it transforms. The statement that after marriage love develops into a habit is fundamentally wrong. She simply becomes more tolerant and wiser. Spouses get to know each other in everyday life, learn to respect each other and not quarrel over trifles. Of course, this process is not easy - refusal to give in to each other, excessive temper can cause the destruction of a young family. And the cheerful wedding banquet will end very badly.

It is very important to realize at the very beginning of a marital relationship that you are entering a completely new stage of life, that you are now not on your own, but a full-fledged family where all problems are solved together. So don't let your emotions ruin your marriage. Try your best to preserve your feelings for each other.

• Don’t forget about romance in a relationship, arrange joint outings in nature, go to the cinema for kissing places, give each other cute gifts.
• It is impossible to live life without quarrels. But in any quarrel, refrain from insulting each other, no matter how much you want to do so.
• To strangers and even close friends don’t need to know about the problems in your relationship, don’t quarrel in public, sort things out in private.
• In order to be able to maintain love after the wedding, it is important to remember that you are not rivals in the arena, but true allies in creating a strong family.
• No one has canceled the folk wisdom “the morning is wiser than the evening,” so don’t sort things out before going to bed, put off the conversation until tomorrow. A rested person is not so irritable and will be better able to hear the other, and perhaps the cause of the conflict will no longer seem so important to you.
• Don't forget about sex, even with a busy work schedule, and be sure to kiss your loved one throughout the day.
• Remember why you fell in love with each other, continue to be grateful. Don't take courtesies for granted.

If the couple did not get married at the very beginning of their relationship, such a desire may arise after several years have passed. Wedding is a sacred, mysterious process in which spouses are blessed by God.

The decision to get married should be conscious, and not just a tribute to fashion. You need to prepare for the wedding in advance, especially if you do not understand church rules and laws. But don’t forget about the holiday after the wedding. After all, this event is equal in importance to the wedding itself, and for some couples it has much greater significance. Therefore, the wedding banquet should be held at a high level.

Wedding script

You can develop the scenario for the evening after the wedding yourself, or you can entrust it to professionals. The holiday begins from the moment the newlyweds, after the ceremony, drive up to a cafe or restaurant, where friends and relatives are eagerly waiting for them. The road for them can be paved with rose petals, on the sides of which guests stand and form a so-called tunnel of raised hands - a symbol of the road to shared happiness.

At the end they are met by the bride's parents with a filled cup in their hands. You need to drink from the cup one at a time and break it at the end. The cup in this case symbolizes the unity of the spouses. It is advisable to walk through the fragments - to say goodbye to your past bachelor life. But this is also the path of the young to wedding table doesn't end. They are met by witnesses who hold a ribbon above the ground, symbolizing the first joint obstacle. The husband must gently lift his wife into his arms and step over the “obstacle” with her.

Witnesses at the wedding

Competitions for knowing each other's habits and tastes, fun tasks for the bride and groom, marathons for guests will create a breathtaking atmosphere of fun and none of those present will sit at the table looking bored.

Banquet after the wedding

There are also several options for a wedding banquet. It all depends on your tastes and preferences. For a wedding reception, a partial catered banquet may be ideal as it is less formal than a full catered banquet. You can also organize a combined banquet.

It will require two separate rooms. In the first hall, a buffet table is organized, on which various drinks and cold snacks are placed. Here, guests who arrived first can have a snack while waiting for the newlyweds. In the second hall, a banquet with full or partial service is already organized.

Organizing a wedding evening in nature has recently become increasingly popular. Indeed, if the wedding is being held in the warm season, why not hold a banquet among picturesque nature, and not in a stuffy restaurant. Fresh air, birdsong, magnificent views will create a relaxed, relaxed atmosphere of general fun.

Folk wisdom

Wedding scenario without toastmaster

A wedding is an event that needs to be organized touchingly, cheerfully and beautifully, especially for the closest and dearest. Then such a holiday remains in the memory of the heroes of the occasion and the guests present for a long time. Therefore, if you decide to hold a wedding yourself for a small company, without resorting to the help of a professional toastmaster, then this scenario involves significant savings. After all, in wedding scenarios without toastmaster The leader will be the person who took upon himself (relative, witnesses) to conduct this celebration.

The traditional wedding scenario is implemented in the process of marriage, which, according to the plan, consists of certain blocks:

Bride ransom

At every wedding there is a ritual of bride price, which has long been famous for serious trials, because representatives of one clan paid another for the bride. Nowadays, everything is much simpler; the ransom scenario is prepared for the groom by the bridesmaids and relatives, giving everyone a positive mood for the upcoming celebration. It all starts with the groom meeting at the house of the bride's parents, where he is tested. In this peculiar game, the groom and the witness bargain, showing miracles of ingenuity and wit in offering different kinds"barter": champagne, sweets, outdated banknotes, money "dolls", ridiculous gifts. The point is that the groom should not rush to shell out money. After haggling a lot and agreeing on the “price” with the bridesmaids, they finally buy the bride and go to the registry office.

Marriage registration at the registry office

The marriage is solemnly registered at the registry office, where the organizers include video filming and photography in the wedding scenario without a toastmaster. Since the criterion for this scenario, which ensures minimal costs for organizing a celebration, we will choose the option when photo and video shooting will be carried out by guests who have the appropriate skills.

Holiday photo shoot

On the way to the celebration site, the bride and groom will have a photo shoot at memorable places and beautiful landscapes of the city. Where one of the guests also acts as a photographer.

Wedding feast

Newlyweds meeting

The newlyweds are solemnly welcomed in the banquet hall; with the economy option, the wedding can be held at home. According to tradition, parents meet with bread and salt, where they bless the newlyweds. This tradition dates back to ancient times, when the bride after her wedding went to live in the house of her husband’s parents. However, in practice, the speech is first made jointly by the mother-in-law and father-in-law, and then by the father-in-law and mother-in-law. Next, they determine who will be the head of the family. Breaking the plate for good luck, after which everyone is invited to the table.

First wedding toast

The first toast is voiced by the host, in our case one of the guests. Often the first toast includes a story, a legend, or a statement from a great person that is worth pondering. Thus wedding toast becomes not only wishes, but also plays the role of advice for the future for the newlyweds and their relatives.

Leading
From now on, two hearts sound in rhythm.
The union was held together by two rings.
Now, along the road of life
The two of you will go to the end.
We wish you great happiness,
May there always be spring.
So that you never know bad weather
And their hearts were pure.
We raise our glasses higher,
We wish you love and happiness! Bitterly!

Newlyweds' first dance

The beautiful and touching first dance of the newlyweds is a tradition formed over centuries and is still alive in our time. At every wedding, the newlyweds are given the entire dance floor for their first dance. How you want this dance to be remembered by the heroes of the occasion and their guests, because the beautiful first dance of the newlyweds touches the soul of everyone present. It is important to express all your feelings in it, to show how the newlyweds love each other.

Table games and competitions

After the first dance of the newlyweds, give the guests the opportunity to have a snack, but no more than 5 minutes, otherwise the guests will start drinking on their own whenever they have to. And while the guests are having a snack, invite them to play, for example, the “Auction of Affectionate Words”, where the guests say affectionate words to young guests (Beautiful, smart, charming, etc.), who will say final word will receive a special prize...

Such competitions should be held if guests are tired or want to have a snack. It is also possible by time, for example every hour, since the wedding is held without a toastmaster. The responsible person must monitor this. For example this one table competition for a wedding for a small company will only require the organizer to purchase a couple of kilograms of sweets. All participants take turns taking as many candies from the bag as they want. The catch is that most will try to grab more sweets. But after everyone has sweets in their hands, the host announces that for each sweet the participant must tell something interesting about the groom or the bride. This competition will allow two families to become much closer.

Gifts and congratulations at the wedding

While the guests are eating and listening, according to the wedding plan, it is necessary to present gifts and congratulations from guests and relatives. The parents of the bride and groom are the first to congratulate. Then you can go clockwise, so that it doesn’t hurt who is first, all the other guests of the wedding celebration.

Presenter The most pleasant time has come for a young family - replenishing the family budget. Their parents gave them a savings book, and we, the guests, must fill it up.

A savings book should be prepared in advance, preferably of a huge size and with glued-in pockets, on which inscriptions should be made: “for a beer for the husband,” “for a fur coat for the wife,” “for the education of the first child,” and so on. Witnesses go around the guests in a circle, collecting contributions. Guests, putting their gift envelope into a certain pocket, must loudly say for what needs they are giving money. After receiving gifts to continue the festive banquet, you can have a dance break...

Active wedding competitions

It's no secret that we don't celebrate weddings, but play! This suggests that games and competitions are an integral part of the wedding scenario, especially without a toastmaster, so the mood of the guests directly depends on this program.

Competition "Find the odd one out." In this competition there is no need to worry about props, since all you need to do is stock up on a couple of packs of colored clothespins and blindfolds; you can use ordinary scarves that every woman has. 2-4 couples take part in the competition. The men are given the same number of clothespins. The women's task will be to remove them as quickly as possible while blindfolded. Music plays during the competition. She stops when the first pair completes the task.

We determine the gender of the first-born in the form of a competition. The guests stand in two lines. The first participants of both teams are awarded balls. The task is to send the ball to the end of the row as quickly as possible without using your hands. The final participant will have to pop the ball. Whoever can do it faster will be the color the parents collect for the baby's dowry.

Competition "Drink to the bottom." Several couples participate in this wedding competition. Girls sit on chairs and hold a glass between their legs, and guys press a bottle of champagne with their feet. Task young man- get to the girl, pour champagne into a glass without using your hands and also drink it to the bottom without using your hands. The winner is the pair that completed the task faster and more accurately than others.

A proven way to make your celebration memorable is wedding competitions. What they will be depends not only on your preferences, but also on the status, financial situation, and age of the guests. It is necessary to alternate active competitions with dances, songs, musical breaks, table games, and quizzes.

Comic scenes for a wedding

A little humorous mysticism can be added to wedding evening. This is very original congratulations for a wedding in the form of a scene. You will need an artistic guest who will be dressed up, for example, as a clairvoyant. Any paraphernalia will do. Hang everything you have at hand on it: jewelry, spiders, rats, snakes, a crystal ball, a broom, scarves, cards. The bride and groom are given pens and sheets of paper and asked to write down four lines from their favorite songs, more is possible, but then you need to add questions to this sketch. As soon as this task is completed, the leaves are handed over to the clairvoyant, and she enters the hall:

Clairvoyant Hello guests and newlyweds! A vision of your wedding came to me, and I hurried to it. I want to show you my forecast, how much you love each other, and make your dream come true - to read the thoughts of your other half!

Such wedding congratulation scenes are best done at the end of the evening, when the guests are already tipsy. But at first such scenes keep the audience in suspense, and then cheerful laughter is heard. The presenter begins to ask the strange woman questions, and she, pretending to go into a trance, reads out the answers from the sheets.

The celebration ends, namely the prepared wedding scenario without toastmaster two events - formal (cutting wedding cake and refreshments for all those present) and symbolic (depriving the bride and groom of their status and turning them into husband and wife. The mother-in-law removes the veil from the bride, and the mother-in-law removes the boutonniere from the groom. This seems to emphasize the peculiarity and uniqueness of the wedding day.) You can also launch fireworks at honor of the birth of a new family. The bride and groom thank those present and leave the celebration before everyone else. The remaining guests continue to celebrate the wedding of the newlyweds.

This is the most democratic option, as it does not tire the groom and witness too much with complex competitions, as well as overcoming various obstacles on the way to the bride.
