So it’s time for your girlfriend to get married. Ahead of her is a happy family life. But first, her bridegroom will have to pass the test of ransom! We offer a completely new and unusual scenario for the redemption of the bride for 2016. A fun and youthful scenario with contests where the groom and his friends will find the bride’s mobile phone number and call her to open the door for them. But first things first.

But in order for this scenario to go off with a bang, you need a completely new SIM card for your mobile phone. And no one should know this number except the bride and her girlfriends. Insert this SIM card into the bride’s phone and ...
And then everything is written in the script!

When the car with the groom drives up to the gate (house), then no one meets them. Entrance doors (gates) must be locked. When all the guests got out of the car, and looked around in disbelief, the bridesmaid came out of the entrance (doors, gates), pretending to be talking on the phone.

Bridesmaids (on the phone):
Yes understood. Yeah. Till.
(picks up the phone from his ear and looks at the guests)
Excuse me, where are you going?

They answer her that for the bride.

Bridesmaid:
For the bride, for which?
Sorry, but there’s no such thing.

(her cell phone rings right away. She picks up the phone again)

Bridesmaid:
Yes, (name of the bride), I get it.
(disconnects and addresses guests)
Well, you're right, you are here.
But there is a small problem,
So that you get to the bride,
She will need to call
Confirm your desire to get married!

The groom dials the bride’s number, but he is told that the subscriber is temporarily unavailable.

Bridesmaid:
How is the subscriber unavailable?
Did you dial the correct number? No?
I don’t think you know her numbers,
Well, then you have to guess it.
But to make it easier to guess
Let me give you the first number from the number!

1. Assistant.

To get the rest of the numbers,
You must answer the questions!

Three-digit contest “Love Operator Code”.

After the figure eight, the operator code is in the mobile phone number. To guess it, you need to know your bride and math well!)
For instance:
(917) The first figure is the difference between the growth of the bride and the growth of the future mother-in-law (174-166cm \u003d 9cm)
The second figure is the age of the bride divided by today's number (25 years / September 25 \u003d 1)
Etc.

But the questions must be complex enough so that the groom can not guess. For example, you can ask about the size of the mother-in-law's clothes minus something else. If the groom does not know one of the unknowns, then they can tell him for a certain amount.

2 assistant:

Now don’t stand a pillar
And sing a song to the bride.
Only recommend highly
Singing about love and loudly a must!

The groom and his friends perform some verse from any love song.

Bridesmaid:
Too bad friends upset you,
Do not scream you in vain.
The bride still does not hear you, no matter how hard you try.
Therefore, we continue to collect numbers.

Competition with balls.

It turns out the girl. A long and stretched (but not much) tunic is pulled over her usual clothes. In the “right” places, under the tunic, balls are hidden. "The right places" are the chest and the priest. Only four balls. In one of the balls is the cherished figure. But only in one.

1 assistant:
Well, groom, go ahead! And do not be timid!
You need the ball of bursts soon!

2 assistant (in a conspiratorial whisper):
Don’t worry, we won’t tell the bride,
What are you going to do now.

The groom must burst the desired ball with his hand (without pulling the ball out of the tunic). The number plate should fall at the feet (fall out of the tunic). If this does not happen, then in order to burst another ball you need to pay from 50 rubles.

Bridesmaid:
Now let's go with you
We will continue the matter with ... hands.

Competition with a hand.

On a large drawing paper, the contours of the hands are circled, inside which are numbers. The groom needs to guess the outline of the bride’s hands, and, consequently, the correct figure. A failed attempt of 100 rubles is a fine.

1 assistant:
Now, let's digress about the numbers,
And have some fun.

2 assistant.
See the tree of love
You’re picking an apple from him.
In one of them, a surprise is tied,
And if not, then you must eat an apple.

"love tree"
It is possible for one of the people to tie apples in total 5 pieces. Apples are cut along the core into two halves (it is advisable to do this while the previous contest is held (or before it) - not earlier, so that the apples do not darken or grease the halves with lemon juice). These halves are then again tightly bound together by a ribbon. A small piece of paper with a number is hidden in one of the apples between the halves.
The groom “picks” any apple he likes and reveals the halves. If there is nothing there, then he must eat the whole apple in 30 seconds. You can ask for help from friends.
And so on until he finds a figure.

  Bridesmaid:
Well, you had a little snack
And for the task of the next he gained strength.

1 assistant:
I had a snack,
But I didn’t drink it!

Three glasses are taken out with a dark liquid (so that the bottom does not shine through). Papers are attached to the bottom of the glass from the outside. They are attached so that you can see what is written on a piece of paper only when you drink to the bottom. On two pieces of paper a fig is drawn, and one with a number. If the first glass did not work, then the next need to buy. You can pour a favorite drink of the bride (for example, orange juice) in one glass, but the groom should not know about it. Let him guess the hint.

2 girlfriend:
Now the groom is ready
Run your head.

Competition collect a word from numbers.

An image of the keypad telephone keypad is carried out. As well as a word encrypted with telephone numbers. Using the telephone “keyboard”, the groom needs to decrypt the word. He can tell one of any letters for a certain amount (300-500r)
The word may be, for example, "love." When it is guessed, then the figure is given to the groom.

Bridesmaid:

In the meantime, the groom, step aside,
We’ll check your friends.
Who is the fastest of friends
Come to us soon!

A friend (or witness) comes out.

1 assistant:
Well, since you're fast
Take the phone for a while!

You need to disassemble and assemble the phone for a certain time. If the first fails, then pays a fine and tries the next. You just need to determine in advance how much time it takes to disassemble and assemble a conventional mobile phone. You need to disassemble thoroughly: the back panel, the battery and the SIM card. After it has been disassembled, it is necessary to report: “the phone has been disassembled”. And then immediately start collecting. If it is within the time limit, then the phone is asked to be turned on (before that the phone was assembled, but it must be turned off (!)). And when the phone turns on, the display will display the desired number as the screen saver.

2 assistant:
Well then, fiance.
There was the last jerk.

Bridesmaid:
I collected all the numbers
There is only one left, look! (indicates hearts)
I won’t torture you here
Choose any number!
And if you’re not afraid, then call!
And confirm the intention to marry!

Last digit contest
When the number is already fully assembled and one last digit remains, then you need to find it among the other numbers with hearts hanging on the stand. The groom is given three attempts. He chooses any number and, at his own risk, calls this number. If he is afraid to call, then for a certain amount he can be told whether this is the right figure or not. Here bargaining is appropriate. If the figure is correct, then the cost of the answer is naturally higher.

When the groom calls the bride, he must tell her that he loves her. After that, he was allowed to the bride, where he gives her his bouquet.

Bridesmaid:
And who said that in the technology age,
Can a man be lonely?
We just refuted it,
And mobile technology helped us with this!
So you love one another always
And never forget to call your friends!

The modern ransom of the bride is an original fun performance designed to surprise and delight those who celebrate the occasion. The event can be held in various styles, be short or long. Buying a bride in the quest style is an interesting adventure that the bridegroom, witness, and friends of the future husband have to go through, including contests, games, tasks and riddles. After passing some unusual tests, the fiancé will reach the goal of meeting with her lover.

Training

Unlike many other events of this kind, the redemption of the desired bride in the quest style involves a laborious preparation process. It is necessary to take into account many details, calculate finances, because often such a ransom involves moving around the city. If the organizers (most likely it will be girlfriends) do not have enough funds to carry out a large-scale event, the ransom is easy to simplify by shortening the route. Also, girls can consult, put finances into a common piggy bank.

Redemption requisite

Depending on the chosen scenario of the quest, you may need a variety of props:

• Clothing. This may be a costume of a mysterious fortuneteller who prophesies to a future husband where to look for a lover, or a strict trouser version for a girlfriend who asks her future spouse to unravel the code, as well as other options. Even a funny outfit of a Cheshire cat will suit, which will show the way to the narrowed one - in this case the whole quest can be done in the spirit of “Alice in Wonderland”.
• Beautiful antique paper or sheets. If the ransom takes place according to a single style, tips, tasks, puzzles should be written on the same type of paper, this will help maintain the atmosphere of what is happening. Also on it will be written a message from the bride, who is waiting for her lover.
• A map of the city, bought at a store or drawn by girlfriends on their own is a mandatory attribute of a quest ransom. If the organizers drew the map, they should make sure that the stylized version is similar to the real one, and the future spouse should just be guided by it.

• Suitcase or safe. One of these devices is necessary for holding a fun quest-style contest, where the bridesmaids will ask the future husband for facts about her lover, and the answer will be the number (“How old is she?”, “What is the bride’s height”?). The correct answer to all questions will be the cipher that will open the safe. There the groom should wait for a clue where to look for a sweetheart.
• A phone that will help the future spouse go to the next stage of the ransom in this style, and to him are three numbers of different people who will in every possible way dissuade him from going to the bride, seducing. When he refuses tempting offers, the last person will tell him where to go next.
• Prints of rebus images, balloons for possible contests.
• Sweets, accessories that will be needed at the very end of the action.

Characters

Not only the organizers themselves, but also other comers with artistry can join the ransom in this style. The main and possible participants in the quest redemption process:

• Bridesmaids. Girls can independently help complete the quest for their girlfriend’s bridegroom, or they can hire a special courier who will deliver the first letter with a signature from the bride. So that girlfriends do not get bored, waiting for their future husband in a given place or running around the city with him, they can give advice to his fiancée over the phone for a promise he will give his beloved: go shopping with her, cook breakfast every morning or bring coffee to bed.

• Male friends. Friends will need help when their friend calls the given numbers to find clues that will help him to come to the bride. Of the three roles, two belong to men - the first will persuade the future spouse to go to his bath with the girls, the second - a man of non-traditional orientation - will ask questions with a sexual connotation. The task of the betrothed is to refuse offers, then he will receive a hint where the card lies.
• Groom and witness. Both of them will have to try to get to the main character of the celebration. When choosing a route, you should take into account the nature of the narrowed one: if he does not like puzzles and large-scale movements, he should give preference to a simple courtyard quest.
• Photographer. The bride’s quest ransom is an interesting and even exciting action, which must be captured in photos and videos, so calling a professional is a great idea. After the wedding, the newlyweds will be pleased to review the commemorative shootings of the beginning of their wedding day.
• Other characters: fortune-tellers, fairy-tale characters.

Route mapping

Drawing up a convenient card is of great importance: it is important that the fiancée simply move around the territory of the district or city, otherwise the whole holiday risks becoming spoiled, because the future spouse will get tired even at the redemption stage, before going to the registry office. If you are planning a detour of a large territory, girlfriends need to study in advance the ease of travel on nearby streets, the number of traffic jams, and check the data again in the morning before buying.

The ideal route option is when the whole quest takes place on the territory of one district where the future spouses live, although if the fiancé loves adventure, the urban environment is also suitable. The plan should be made with a bride who knows her lover well, for example:

• First, the team of the future husband with a witness drives up to the house where the hero of the occasion is supposedly living. A courier approaches them, hands a letter where it says: “Dear (name)! I can no longer believe anyone: the monsters that take your guise pursue me. Only you can collect all the clues and find a place where I hide. ” After the courier offers the future husband to take a test with a safe.

• A hint from the safe on the style of the quest may indicate the location of a billboard / sign / graffiti, by which future spouses often walked together. When the participants reach the place, they must wait for the phone, where there is only one number - this is a contest in which the hero of the occasion will be persuaded to abandon the search.
• The last person will tell the narrowed down whereabouts of the card that will lead him to the fortuneteller. She will say where is her beloved, but only after a monetary reward. After the groom gives the woman the money, she will determine the final destination.
• At the end of each redemption task, the groom received, in addition to the hints, something else - sweets, fruits, possibly accessories. All this will be needed when the bridegroom gets to the place of meeting with her beloved: girlfriends who will not let the groom pass without gifts will protect her.

This is an example of a ransom-quest route, but each card must be individually drawn up, given the story of the bride and groom.

Quest ransom scenario

The groom and the witness drive up to the bride’s house, but no one meets them. Participants in the ransom are already heading to the porch when an unfamiliar courier blocks their path. He hands the future spouse a letter on shabby paper written by her lover. The letter says:

“Dear, beloved (Name of the groom)!

I feel in danger. The dark forces want to abduct me, they are called by your name, they change their face, but I know that it’s not you!

I had to hide in a place where none of them could find me - it is protected. Only you can get to this place because you know me better than anyone.

I left you some clues. The man who brought this letter will help you pass the test. Don’t worry, I trust him!

I kiss and wait for you. With love,

Your bride

The groom reads the letter, after which the courier enters the conversation:

“Your bride instructed me to bring you to her, but before that you need to conduct several tests that will prove that you are the one she needs.” The first task is to open this suitcase.

The courier points the groom to the suitcase, which is the first part of the bride ransom test.

- It is encoded. To open the combination lock, you will have to answer a few questions related to the bride. The answers to these questions are numbers, if they are named correctly, they will open a suitcase, where you will find the next clue. Now let's get started. The first question is how old is the bride?

The groom answers, the courier enters the first digit.

-Good. What is the size of a sweetheart’s ring?

Narrowed says.

–And what size shoes does the girl wear?

The future spouse is responsible. For each error, he pays a ransom for the prompt. When the test is completed, the courier says:

- Great, you managed to open the suitcase! There is a clue waiting to help you reach the appointed place and a small gift.

In a suitcase lies a note that indicates the location of the next clue, and perfume. The hint in the note should be connected with something that the groom often sees and knows well. For example, a billboard nearby or a grocery store. For a hint, the future spouse can pay the courier, but if he himself guesses, the host says:

- You correctly named the place. I will accompany you there so that no troubles arise along the way.

The future spouse along with the courier are sent to the place where the ransom hint of the quest bride is located. After a little search, the test participants find a phone with a single number and candy. The hero of the occasion has no choice but to call him. A woman's voice comes from the tube:

- Hi dear! How are you? Why do you call?

The betrothed answers who he is looking for.

“The bride ... It's interesting.” Why do you need a bride? Maybe come to me, grab a bottle of wine? We will have a great time.

The future spouse refuses.

- Are you sure? Not every time such an offer comes in, baby, are you sure you don’t want to?

The groom gives a negative answer.

“Hmm ... It turns out you really love her.” Good. Write down the number, I dictate.

The girl dictates the next number, which will call the hero of the occasion. The phone is picked up by a man who is familiar with the future spouse, music is heard:

- Egegei, hello! How are you, friend, what are you doing ?! Come to me - such a party! Girls, alcohol, dancing - crazy fun! Will you write down the address?

The betrothed replies that he is getting married, he needs to see his beloved, therefore he will not come.

- Man, you are missing such a thing! Are you sure? Well, if I’m sure, write the number, they warned me about your call!

By the next number, the man picks up the phone again, and, making a “sweet” voice, he says:

- Hello, honey ... I’ve already been waiting for you. Come to me, sit down, discuss something, watch a movie, drink coffee, hee hee.

The future spouse refuses.

- Ka-ak, you do not want? And I already got dressed for you - you’ll die! Well, okay, no, there is no trial. You have not succumbed to our temptations, so you will receive the following clue. I’ll send you the location of the clue.

When the SMS arrives, the hero of the occasion with the witness goes to the next part of the ransom of the bride of the quest. There they are met by a fortuneteller.

- Wait! I saw that you will come, I know that you will demand! Need to get a bride? Then please pay! Just do not be greedy, my services are expensive.

The groom and the witness pay a ransom, the fortuneteller stands above the ball, and says:

“I see ... something is happening there ... I see that you will be happy soon!” I see the children ... So, let's go back a little ... Yeah, I found it!

The fortuneteller names the whereabouts of the bride. The groom is about to leave, as she exclaims:

- Wait! I almost forgot: my little gift is the sweetest nectar. Hope this helps you, go ahead!

Recently, at weddings, you can again meet old traditions. For example, the ransom of the bride, which many couples have refused over the past years, can be made unusual and bright, if you come up with an interesting thematic scenario. Redemption of the bride in the style of the airline will be fun and relaxed, if the girlfriends of the hero of the occasion pre-contest, select the props and design.

It’s easy to pick up everything you need to carry out - just make a list.

The role of tradition at the wedding

Each nation has developed its own orders and customs, which originated in ancient times. Some of these belong to the wedding, as this event is celebrated in almost any culture, up to African or Native American tribes. The established foundations made it possible to determine the canons of marriage, to make it correct and suitable for a specific time.

All arose from religious considerations,  but many of them have been forgotten, while others have changed, but some are still revered to this day. For example, the exchange of wedding rings is also a kind of custom that originated in Ancient Egypt, and the ransom of the bride began to be arranged since the heyday of the culture of the Slavic peoples.

Wedding traditions allow you to create a common framework for the wedding, to which you can then pick up individual details. Following such customs does not make all weddings the same  - on the contrary, this allows us to understand what exactly future newlyweds want to see at the celebration, and how to diversify the celebration. It is difficult to fully think through the scenario without relying on any traditions, especially if there is no relevant experience in this.

How to choose a worthy: customs of ancestors

Before marrying his beloved, the groom must prove that he is worthy of her. To do this, from ancient times, he arranged all kinds of tests for ingenuity, dexterity and great strength. In addition, the young man had to pay the parents of the bride a ransom for her, because they lost their au pair. It was believed that the more beautiful, well-mannered and more economical a girl, the more wealthy the groom should be.

The size of the ransom was stipulated during the matchmaking, bride and groom engagement. If the groom could not satisfy the requirements of a potential father-in-law, then the wedding was refused.  In addition, parents could look not only at the amount of one-time monetary compensation, but also at the income in the family of the young man, focusing on whether he could provide for their daughter.

Tests for the young man in love were also arranged, and the whole village. They were especially tricky, if the groom lived in another settlement - people could simply close the entrance gate, expecting the young man and his retinue to display ingenuity and dexterity.

Obstacles also awaited the bride’s bridegroom on the way to the bride’s house - trees fallen on the road, decayed carts, palisades, etc. The girl’s neighbors did this on purpose, helping the boy overcome obstacles only if he performed their tasks or paid off with money.

Now the bride’s ransom takes place in a different scenario, although the main   the essence today remains the same - the groom must prove that he is worthy to become the husband of his beloved.  Money ransom no longer plays a special role, and it is not given to the girl’s parents, but to her girlfriends and relatives who organized trials for the boy. The amount is either divided between the organizers, or at the end of the event is sent to the newlyweds' piggy bank.

Scenario

If one of the newlyweds is on duty related to airplanes, if the couple met in the air, or if they just like to fly, then you can spend the bride’s ransom in the style of an airline, the scenario will be suitable in other cases when the wedding does not provide for a different style of conduct.

For starters, bridesmaids should stock up on the appropriate props - the form of stewardesses.

If you can’t find the right clothes, you can choose strict suits with a skirt and a jacket, ties and caps with the same emblem, and you can attach a brooch in the form of an airplane to your chest. After the ransom, girlfriends can change into formal dresses.

Wedding steward

"Cabin attendants" must behave courteously, politely, refer to everyone on the "you". They should look perfect - laid hair, even posture, well-set speech.

Decorator

To make the bride’s staircase look like a real plane, you can hang sheets with portraits. If possible, the visor of the entrance can be made similar to the nose of the aircraft, using polystyrene or Whatman paper.

Albina Sysoeva

Before each competition, participants need to be reminded that they must fasten their seat belts, keep an eye on children and turn off mobile phones.

Stage One - Meeting the Groom

Young man in love drives up to his bride’s house ,   flight attendants meet him: “Attention, passengers! Boarding on flight No. (wedding date) is ending, a request for everyone to take their places on the Love airliner. The final destination is a happy family life, with an estimated flight time of 30 minutes. All stowaways will be fined. ”

The groom, along with his retinue, claims that they urgently need to board the plane, but the flight attendants are adamant, because the passengers are already late. To persuade the girls to close their eyes to this, the young man needs to prove that this flight is important to him.

He must shout three times the phrase “I love you, (name of the bride)” so that his beloved can even hear it from the plane. If the flight attendants were satisfied, then miss the latecomer.

The groom and his friends and relatives enter the porch. On the first flight of stairs he is informed that it is necessary to buy tickets, for this you need to pay either with money or with champagne and sweets. After the issue with the documents is resolved, the flight attendants give the young man a bag supposedly forgotten by the bride to give her her things.

Stage Two - Contests

After the first part of the event, the groom passes the airport security post.  To do this, you need to show the contents of the bag that he was handed after buying tickets. It contains a canister with the inscription "Kerosene", an ax, a gas spray, handcuffs, a bag of white powder (flour). All these things are forbidden to be transported by plane, so the groom needs to be explained to security officers why he needed all this at the wedding. If the groom is at a loss with any thing, then he pays a fine.

At the next flight of stairs, the young man needs to determine the correct corridor for landing on his flight. Stewardesses hang on the walls 4-6 sheets on which different numbers are written. First, the groom needs to guess what they mean, and then choose the most significant option that leads them with the bride to the flight on board the aircraft "Love".

The numbers may be as follows:

• number of colors in;
• girl's clothing size;
• date of acquaintance without spaces;
• date of marriage proposal;
• bride heel length etc.

Finally, the young man gets to the plane itself.  Whatman glued to each other are laid out on the site, on which places in the sky giant are painted. The groom needs to guess where his lover would be - at the window, at the aisle, near the nose or tail, etc. He also needs to determine what she would choose from snacks and drinks, and what she would do during the flight.

When the groom gets to the next flight, he is informed that a hole appeared in the gas tank of the aircraft. To patch her, you need to sing your favorite bride song. If the groom guesses, then he moves forward, otherwise he pays a fine. You can also require refueling (champagne), because the tank is slightly empty.

The next test begins with a stewardess statement: “A bomb was found on board! Please keep calm, there is a clearance specialist (groom) on the plane. He knows the code, you just need to tell him. " The combination for defusing a bomb can be an answer to one of the following questions:

• favorite dish of the bride;
• eye color of the future mother-in-law;
• what country the bride would like to visit;
• favorite hobby of the bride;
• where the first date of future newlyweds took place.

On the next flight, the flight attendant announces that the aircraft has almost reached its final destination, but is strictly losing altitude. To make it easier, you need to throw out unnecessary things. The girl lays out some things of the bride in front of the groom and asks what they mean to her. For example, you can take a gift to a girl from a future husband, a souvenir that they bought together on a trip, her family value, etc. The groom needs to choose the most insignificant subject so that the stewardess “threw him overboard”. If he is mistaken, then he pays a fine.

Finally, the groom gets to his beloved’s apartment.  The stewardess announces: "The board" Love "landed at the destination. Dear passengers, be careful when descending the ramp. Only one of them leads to the bride, you need to guess the right one the first time! ”

Multicolored ribbons are laid out on the floor, each of which leads to a certain room.  The groom must choose one of the ribbons and follow her, and the bride can be anywhere, right up to the bathroom.   If the young man is mistaken, then he pays a fine.

When the groom finds her lover, everyone present celebrates the end of the ransom with champagne and light snacks, and then they go to the registry office.

There are many airline-style bride buyback videos. Here is one of them:

Conclusion

The ransom of the bride can be made original and memorable, if you show imagination. Competitions related to the general theme of the airline will dilute the atmosphere and not allow guests to get bored, waiting for a denouement. If you do everything with the soul, then the newlyweds, and in particular, the groom, will only have the most positive memories of this event.

The bride is behind a closed door.The door can only be opened from the inside. To do this, call the bride and tell the passphrase "I love you." That's just the groom does not have a phone number. It will have to be recognized by her bridesmaids number by number, while performing insidious tasks ...

Sample scenario:

The girlfriends meet the groom and report that the bride will come to the groom only when they hear a declaration of love from him. She must pronounce her cherished words by calling her on the phone, only she changed her number (you can buy a new SIM-card, or borrow a phone from one of your friends). Screaming through the door is useless - she will not hear. Further, friends declare that they simply will not give up the number. The groom needs to complete certain tasks, proving that he is truly worthy of their girlfriend.

1, 2, 3 digits

The first three digits indicating the operator code must be obtained for the groom by a witness with friends. To do this, they need to answer a number of questions of the presenter, without using the words “Yes” and “No” (they are replaced by words like “of course”, “maybe”, “yeah”, “of course”, etc., can’t be repeated) . Questions may be:

Are you ready?

Does the groom love the bride?

Do you think he will reach her?

Do you like us?

Are you hot in jackets? etc.

For each "forbidden" word a ransom is paid. At the end of the survey, the presenter gives the groom a piece of paper with numbers.

4th digit

To get this figure, the groom needs to be smart. One of the girlfriends is wearing a sweatshirt over the dress, on the inside of which a piece of paper with a pin has been pinned with a pin. Thick gloves are put on to the groom, his task is to unbutton his jacket and get a number in a certain time. Another bridesmaid demonstratively takes what is happening on a cell phone. After the task is completed, a ransom is required from the groom, so as not to show “compromising” to the bride.

5th digit

Another friend has a bunch of balloons in her hand. In one of them the treasured figure. In the rest, there are small tasks, redemption amounts, or phrases that are just funny, for example: “You don’t have any intuition at all! Pop the next one! ” On the balls you can write confusing words: “Pop me!”, “The number is here!”, “The number is here, honestly, honestly!”, “Pop me, you will not regret it!”. Groom is given a needle. His task is to pop the balls one at a time until he finds a digit. Tasks can be as follows: sing a ditty, tell a rhyme with a lollipop in your mouth, portray an animal, say a tongue twister, etc.

6th digit

Get a star from the sky for the bride. On the back of the paper "star" is the desired number. The star clings somewhere at an unattainable distance so that the groom could not get it without the help of friends.

7th digit

A task for friends (not to be bored). They need to sing in chorus a passage from the song "When my friends are with me" to the appropriate melody. The witness is a conductor. He is given an improvised conductor's baton. Friends are given a printed text so that they are not confused.

It is the ransom of the bride that marks the beginning of most weddings, however, do not consider it as a standard tribute to traditions. This prepared event can become a bright and impressive event, which all participants will be happy to recall. The ransom styles of the bride can be divided into traditional, thematic and exclusive.

Traditional ransom

This style is most common. Redemption of the bride for the groom is a set of small contests at the house narrowed. The script is often written in verse. Tasks are focused on a comic test of the groom's qualities.

Since this is the most common style, most contests are known and expected. This is often the reason that some couples, thinking about how to ransom the bride, whose scenario became familiar, eventually decide to do without him.

Another reason for refusal are contests that are emotionally difficult for the groom. Not every young man is psychologically ready to shout loudly about love under the windows or sing songs in the stairwell.

The ransom of the bride in the style of a traditional festivities is quite good, but if you add variety and exclude inappropriate tasks, the ransom will be non-standard, easy and memorable.

The task of knowing dates is one of the most common contests. The bridegroom is invited to explain what the given numbers mean for the bride. The numbers can be hidden in balloons, on the petals of paper flowers, or written on the steps. Examples of numbers:

• birthday;
• how many years have passed since the meeting;
• number of the car;
• height;
• breast size.

It is necessary to consider how the ransom takes place if the groom is very worried and does not remember many dates. If you modify the competition or offer a shorter option, it will be much easier.

Change Options:

1. Invite the groom to select only 1 of the special cards, and then ask them to explain the meaning of the number on the selected card.
2. Use photographs of numbers, for example, a part of a car’s license plate that covers only numbers. This option contains tips for the groom, however, it does not apply to all numbers.
3. Replace numbers with colors, i.e., invite the groom to explain the meaning of color to the bride. For example, blue is the color of the eyes or green with stripes is the color of your favorite sweater.

When deciding how to redeem a bride at a wedding, fun organizers often include questions about their future wife in the script. For example, you can consider some of them:

• favorite book;
• city of Dreams;
• baby nickname;
• name of the mother-in-law;
• place of work.

It is also highly likely that the worried groom may forget the answers to many questions. The solution will be a non-standard version of the organization of the competition, such as the following:

1. Crossword. The groom is invited to a small crossword puzzle, in which you should enter the answers to questions about the bride. Such an embodiment contains clues from previously guessed words.
2. Family Tree. It is required to fill in the family tree of the future spouse. On the prepared poster, you need to correctly place the photos of her mom and dad, grandparents.
3. Redemption table for the bride. Of the proposed treats, the groom chooses those that the future wife loves.

Guess

A common task with a proposal to guess what on the poster belongs to the bride. The most famous objects for comparison are children's photos, hand or lip prints among many similar ones. Alternatively, the following options are suitable:

• photo of the elbow (knee, ear);
• item of clothing or shoes;
• accessory (e.g. watch or phone).

1. Clothing on a first date. For this competition, thorough preparation is needed, since the bride needs to be photographed in various outfits.
2. Accessory. You need to remember what happened to the girl at the first meeting. It can be, for example, a handbag or an umbrella. The item must be found among its other things.
3. Noteworthy photo-moments from the life of the couple that need to be explained.
4. Memorable gizmos. Explain their meaning for future newlyweds.

Compliments and advantages

In this task, the proposed letter compliments the bride. For example, the letter “k” is beautiful. As an alternative, you should replace the compliment with an affectionate nickname for your beloved. Example: on "c" - the sun. Letters can be:

• from the name of the bride;
• hidden in balls;
• written on the steps.

Similar to the previous task - to identify the merits of the groom. It is proposed to make it to friends. The number of epithets is specified immediately, or they are called as the matches are stuck in the apple until a short one is caught.

This competition can be held personally with the groom.

He needs to admirely say to himself in the mirror how beautiful or how kind, and not smile.

Reason for getting married

Frequent competition at many weddings. The reasons are selected by the most diverse and interesting, including the following:

• by love;
• by calculation;
• according to need;
• parents demanded;
• argued with friends.

The groom has to choose the main thing - love. He can search in balls, choose from a deck of cards or tear off petals from a paper flower with inscriptions. More unusual options for this contest will be:

1. Darts. A sheet of paper with a reason is attached to each compartment of the target.
2. Labyrinth A mini-maze is being built on the ground, leading to various answers. The groom is invited using a radio-controlled machine to get to the right option.

Bride portrait

It is necessary to draw the future spouse on the prepared sheet. To complicate the task, the groom is blindfolded. As a result of such a drawing, a future bride is offered a kind of bride, similar to his drawing. Often, a young man dressed in a white dress and veil is attracted to this role.

You can replace the traditional contest by collecting a puzzle from a photograph of the bride or by compiling her picture robot. The latter offers photo fragments with the image of lips, eyes, nose. You have to choose the right ones and make the right photo portrait.

In which room?

This competition is already held in the apartment. The groom is invited to guess in which room the bride is waiting. Often for this you need to pull 1 of the ropes that lead from the rooms. False brides can play, for example, a brother or grandmother.

To make the competition non-trivial, instead of a voice, you can play laughter or sneezing fake brides and a real narrowed one outside the door.

As you know, traditional wedding ransoms provide for the groom a nominal fee in case of failure of the task. The event will be special if you replace the purchase. You can use the following options to replace money:

1. Certificates Made with your own hands or on a printer according to the principle of gift. They are handed over to the groom and contain the wishes of the future wife. For example, a certificate for a massage or for the purchase of a necklace as a ransom for a bride.
2. Balls with wishes. They are placed where competitions are held, for example, on flights of stairs. Many balls unwittingly create a festive atmosphere. In this case, the groom himself bursts the ball and chooses the desire of the future wife.
3. Penalty missions. Simple tasks, for example, from a course in mathematics or geography.
4. Penalty dances. For failure, the groom is required to dance with a witness to a tango or waltz.

Also, the original ransom of the bride can be obtained thanks to the creative ideas of the groom. For example, he decides to show eccentricity and pay the ransom in dollars with his photo printed on the printer.

Thematic buyback

When buying a bride, just a set of contests and tasks is one of the most common options. But if the ransom is carried out in accordance with a certain topic, then the festive event will remain in memory for a long time.

The script, compiled based on a certain story, can be conditionally called the plot. These options include:

1. Book or movie script. Such a program for the redemption of the bride requires careful preparation, appropriate costumes and surroundings. The basis of the ransom is better to take a movie (book), which is liked by the groom and the bride. Assignments and contests may correspond to the storylines of the work.
2. Fairytale scenario. The purpose of the groom is to appear before the princess in an appropriate form. To do this, you need to get from fairy-tale characters in exchange for completing their tasks the main items of royal vestments, for example, a crown, scepter or mantle. A gypsy is waiting for the bridegroom, promising prosperity and presenting a horse from paper as a reward. This is a bride ransom in the style of a romantic meeting with a prince on a white horse.
3. Salvation from the tower. The knight needs to save the beautiful princess from the high tower, and the battle with the dragon made of balls will become the main battle.
4. Wedding force majeure. It is reported to the groom that the wedding has already begun, however, there have been some emergency situations that need to be urgently resolved. For example, none of the guests are dancing. The groom needs to set an example with his dance so that the rest can connect.
5. The course of the young fighter. The bride’s wedding ransom in the style of preparing for family life will give the groom the opportunity to demonstrate how he can solve everyday problems. The tasks will be to braid the imaginary daughter with a braid or to calm the screaming baby, in which the doll-baby doll will appear. The crying and laughter of a child can be simulated using audio recordings on the phone. When the groom guesses to feed the baby or change his diaper, you need to enable the recording of children's laughter.

Another type of thematic buyback is individual. Its key point is the correspondence of the scenario to the features, lifestyle or professional activities of the young couple. An interesting bride ransom often depends on the proximity of the topic to the participants themselves. Examples of such scenarios:

1. Construction. You can create the right atmosphere with helmets or building signs, among which, for example, the sign "Entrance without protective clothing is prohibited." The groom is given a plan of the building under construction, in which the places (floors) where it is required to complete the construction work are marked.
2. Medicine. The groom receives a bypass sheet on which to collect the signatures of all the doctors. In the role of doctors are the girlfriends of the bride, who give tasks to the groom.
3. Police. The script is based on the investigation of the disappearance of the bride. To search, it is necessary to collect evidence and give evidence.

Thematic ransom of the bride may include, including traditional competitions, but you should choose only those that harmoniously fit into the script.

For example, for a ransom in the style of the traffic police, you can hold a contest "Labyrinth" with a radio-controlled machine, and for a police scenario - a contest "Photo robot".

Exclusive Buyback

In a separate category, the original bride redemption scenarios are selected, which depart from the standard scheme and differ from the rest in the absence of competitions for the groom. Among these, it is worth noting:

• quest;
• treasure card;
• the escape;
• surprise;
• ransom on the contrary.

Quest is a modern ransom of the bride. The event begins with a letter on the doorstep of the groom's house, in which there is a note or photo indicating the place where you need to go. It can be a photo studio, in which case, the first letter should also have a receipt. According to the receipt, the groom receives 2 photos, 1 of which indicates the next place of visit, and 2 photos are part of the puzzle. The groom travels around the city, extracting the remaining details of the puzzle and receiving messages / photos about the next point. Upon receipt of the last fragment, you need to collect a photograph pointing to a specific place, for example, a rug at the door. There will be hidden the key to the bride’s apartment.

Treasure map - a quick buyback bride in the style of treasure hunt, which begins at the groom's house. There a pirate meets him and offers to buy or exchange a bottle of rum (champagne) card. When the groom agrees, a sympathetic pirate also gives him a compass and a shovel.

A map showing the location of the buried treasure is limited to the bride’s yard and contains directions and the number of steps from one point to another. For example, from the starting point, which may be the entrance of the bride, you need to take 20 steps to the north. Following the map will lead the groom to the place where the chest (box) with the key to the bride’s apartment is buried.

Escape is the search for an escaped betrothed. Arriving at the wedding, the groom sees the traces of several pairs of shoes that diverge in different directions from the entrance. The groom follows in the footsteps, on the road, finding signs that indicate whether he is walking correctly. If the road is not the right one, he returns and tries another way. At the end of the false traces are posters that there is no bride. And the right track will lead to the place where the future wife is hiding, for example, in a friend’s house.

Surprise - a ransom from the groom.

Instead of the traditional preparation of a plan to buy a bride, the groom is invited to come up with this and organize an unusual and memorable surprise for the future wife. For example, he can arrange a meeting with her in the park, having invited musicians there in advance, or take her out to the countryside. A romantic option will be the decision to come for a future wife on a carriage or symbolically plant a tree.

The ransom on the contrary is an unusual ransom of the bride, because in this case it is not the groom who comes for the bride, but the bride for the groom. Competitions can also be held, but her very arrival at a narrow-minded narrower will be an incredible surprise.

Thus, a creative approach to the organization of the ransom will turn the event into an unforgettable and fun adventure. Bride redemption that is not prolonged and properly organized before the wedding will set the atmosphere of the upcoming festive event in a light and laid-back atmosphere.
