Themed weddings are gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. What style for a celebration to choose? If your couple has a hooligan disposition, then you will definitely like a Chicago-style wedding of the 30s. The portal www.articlewedding.com presents you a fun scenario of a gangster wedding!
Meeting young
The newlyweds come to the wedding restaurant, where they are met by guests, shower them not with petals, but with money (of course, not real). The bride and groom approach their parents. Moms hold a heart-shaped loaf with images of pistols, and dads hold a tray with mugs filled with champagne.
The host says:
Viva young! The Honorable Don _____ and dear Donna _____! Take these guns (i.e. loaf) and gunpowder (i.e. salt) as a gift in honor of uniting your family clans. And let your life be as frisky as these two colts, and as bright as the flame from this vigorous gunpowder! Break off a piece and salt a friend for the last time in your life!
The newlyweds break off a piece from the loaf, feed each other. And the leader continues:
I ask everyone to get a weapon and arrange in honor of the young gangster salute!
Guests take out toy pistols (crackers) and shoot at the sky.
The host says:
And now, dear head of the _____ family, I ask you to open a bottle of gangster champagne, pour young this divine drink. Many will be surprised why young people drink from mugs. Everything is very simple: all the great gangsters during Prohibition drank from dummies and cups, so as not to arouse suspicion among the police. And we do the same!
Champagne is poured into circles, the young drink a drink. The host continues:
Now break these circles for good luck! And the witnesses are more likely to cover your tracks - hide evidence so that the police do not find our gangster party.
Witnesses broom picking fragments from mugs in a cotton bag with the inscription "evidence".
The host continues:
And now, Hon. Don _____ and dear Donna _____, present us evidence of the legal reunion of the clans.
Young show host and guests a marriage certificate. The host says:
So, dear guests, I invite everyone to go to the hall where our "gangster party" or gangster party will be held.
On this festive evening, money and whiskey, jazz and cards, cigarette smoke and tireless passion will come first! You will find yourself in the heart of mafia clans. Today, a huge stir is planned around our young family, which now you have to congratulate! Cook denyuzhki, gentlemen mafiosi!
But to prevent clashes and shootings due to ascertaining the sequence, the order of presenting gifts will be determined by our gangster family using playing cards. _____ and _____ are removed one card from their deck, thereby defining a group of congratulations.
Newlyweds are taken out on a map, determining who will congratulate them. Giving gifts. The facilitator then says:
And now I ask you to take your places at the chic tables. Gangster party begins: here and now!
First feast
Guests take their places at the tables. And the leader continues:
Please, dare to fill your glasses and applause to greet the first toast!
Hon. Don _____!
Dear Donna _____!
Connecting hearts to each other
And legal marriage,
You live in a family circle,
Not letting troubles into your home.
Let the sun shine more often in life,
Bad weather bypass you
And do not fade your rings,
Love will not be replaced by sadness.
Let inspire and lead
Love call from year to year.
We wish you so many happy years,
How long will be "Bitter!"
Guests have a drink.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a drink and a snack, because you will need a lot of energy, since the evening is just beginning.
Guests are given 5-8 minutes to satisfy their first hunger. The facilitator then says:

For participating in contests, each of you will receive special cash notes (chips) that you can exchange with newlyweds for special prizes.
But since there are a lot of gangsters gathered here, I can not do without assistants, which will be witnesses. To perfectly match the concept of our holiday, I give them gang attributes: a hat and a tie with revolvers.
The presenter puts a hat with a veil on the witness, and a tie with images of dollars on the witness, and continues:
Since today we are organizing a gangster party, I propose to add a spicy touch to today's celebration. According to the traditions of gangsters, during a kiss, they should hide behind ... a hat. Let's try it? Bitterly!
The host gives the young hat. Guests shout: “Bitter!”, And the young kiss, hiding behind a hat. The host says:
Dear Sirs, I’m sure that the times of gangsters in many of you are associated with the word "mafia", which in Italian means "family". So let's fill the glasses and drink for the parents of our young.
A background song about parents sounds. Guests have a drink and a snack. And the leader gives the floor to the groom's parents:
I give the floor to Don’s parents _____.
The toast is delivered by the groom's parents. After which the leader says:
And of course, this will be the height of disrespect, you can even put a bullet in my forehead if I do not give the word _____ and _____ to Donna’s parents ____!

Dear gangsters and their ladies! Having organized our gangster evening today, you and I were as if on a powder keg. The police can come here at any moment, because drinking alcohol is prohibited by law. But we don’t care - let's raise our glasses, and, of course, we drink for the young.
The guests have a drink, and the host continues:
Lord! And now an auction is announced! I have two things that once belonged to the bride and groom. You can buy them not for money, but for the kind words spoken to our new gangster family. So, I think the auction is open! Whoever says the most kind words to the newlyweds will win!
Lot number 1. Notebook of Don _____, which contains phone numbers that were once familiar to him by women. How many kind words are you ready to acquire this treasure?
Lot number 2. The next lot is a rolling pin - a common kitchen item, which, however, can be used as a means of protection and education of the husband. How many kind words will this lot be sold?
Lots are being “sold”. The owners of things are those guests who have said more good words to the newlyweds.
After the auction, the facilitator says:
Gangster gentlemen, we live in a time of turbulence, it is worth thinking about secrecy. I will give you a sheet of paper, and you, secretly from each other, write next to your name your nickname in gangster circles and pass the sheet to a neighbor. Try not to repeat!
A table of paper (table with last names and names of guests) is passed on to the tables, in which guests enter their nicknames opposite their last name. Having received the sheet, the facilitator says:
Gentlemen, we are serious gangsters! You need to check all code names. For example: _____. Who do you think this is? The clan of the bride answers!
The host reads someone's nickname from the groom's family, and someone from the bride's family must guess. The one who guessed is given a prize. If guests cannot guess, then clues can be given. For example, say _____ has black hair and a light suit.
Then a dance break for 30-40 minutes is announced, followed by toasts from the relatives of the bride and groom. The host also says his toast:
We live on the run,
We rush time often,
But I can’t say,
What is all in vain.
Let's not rush life,
Appreciate the beautiful moments,
At the same time live, love, create
It will be easier for you, no doubt.
I suggest raising glasses for the best moments in the life of our charming married couple!

Bride stealing
During the celebration, you can steal the bride in such an interesting way..
Let a policeman come into the hall and say:
I beg your attention, gentlemen!
I'm the chief cop in all of Chicago,
Guarding peace and order, as always,
I know everything, and in the course of every step here.
Today, an urgent signal,
A photobot compiled and wanted.
Among the guests I learned with accuracy
Criminal, a threat to society.
Half-face smile, eyes shine with fire,
Vigor in the movements, and peace in the soul.
But most importantly, she is congratulated today.,
The sign is clear, because there is no other such.
All the mafiosi call her «the bride»
She is known in gangster circles..
And behind the bars she will find a place,
The criminal is almost in my hands.
Well then, the signs all coincided exactly,
And the basis for the arrest is -
I will put handcuffs on her urgently,
She will have to go to jail for a long time..
Looks like a bride, handcuffs her and is going to lead out of the hall. What the witness or facilitator says:
Maybe we can somehow agree?
The policeman answers:
Yeah who do you hold me for?
I am the most incorruptible here in the entire area.
I will not drop the honor of coins ...
Although ... there is not a word about the voluntary contribution in the law.
Then the leader (witness) says:
Dear Mafiosi! This arrogant policeman has arrested our beautiful bride and wants to take her to jail. In order to free her, we will have to arrange a bribe. For this, the groom is ready to sell anything. We buy, do not be shy.
Friends of the groom sell magnets to the guests, calendars with photos of the newlyweds, etc. You can pay with both money and chips received for participating in competitions.
When a policeman is given a bribe, he says:
Ready to close all eyes
And stop your business!
The bride’s abduction can also be organized as an attack by one of the hostile clans. To do this, 2-3 daredevils, dressed in costumes and masks, run into the hall and take the bride hostage. And the groom with the witness must prepare a ransom.
Next, a wedding cake is brought into the hall. Newlyweds cut it and give a thank you speech.
