The ransom of the bride is an old tradition, after many years changing its original purpose. Previously, during a ransom, the groom paid the amount agreed upon by the families for the working pair of hands that he was taking away from the family. Now the bride’s ransom is a bright, fun performance organized by the girlfriends of the hero of the occasion, but it wouldn’t be so exciting if it weren’t for the original competitions for buying the bride. An interesting scenario will make the event unforgettable for all participants.
Competition scenario for the bridegroom
- First of all, girlfriends need to think through a fun scenario according to which the ransom will take place: it can be the rescue of a beautiful princess from the castle with a sorcerer, a ransom in the style of the traffic police, or trials organized «the mafia».
