In the photo there are several options for tasks in verses that will make simple competitions for the ransom of the bride even more fun.
For the groom
There are many different competitions for the groom. Here are some great ideas that are easy to modify and vary according to your imagination:
- Before a future husband put a saucer with flour. To show how good he will be «blow dust» with a beloved, the narrowed one must blow away all the flour at once. If unable to complete the task, pays.
- When almost all the obstacles are passed, such a rally is held: the main character gets to the room of his lover and discovers her barefoot. To take his beloved to the registry office, he needs to guess which of the three boxes the shoes are in. If the betrothed guesses right away, the girlfriends congratulate him and the future wife and let them go. The error is paid in coin.
- Oath. The girlfriends and the bride come up with ten to twenty abbreviations, of which the spouse must choose five. The girls decipher the meanings of the capital letters, and the future husband swears to do everything. For example, GSI is the wedding anniversary in Italy, ZP is breakfast in bed, BUT is new clothes, KVDC is giving flowers every weekend, BP is taken to restaurants.
- A classic draw on knowledge of the Russian language and your soul mate. The future husband comes to the door, where his beloved is waiting for him, and on the door there is an inscription: «A blue-eyed / brown-eyed / gray-eyed girl languishes in this room». The girlfriends give him a marker and offer to fix what is wrong on this inscription. In addition to a grammatical error, facilitators should incorrectly indicate the true color of the eyes narrowed. If he does not notice a mistake, he pays.
- There are a dozen balloons in the room next to the bride’s door. In each of them is a piece of paper with the indicated amount of the ransom, and only one of them has an inscription “key”. The test will end when the hero reaches the treasured leaf.
- From the deck of cards, the groom is offered to choose a narrowed one. In advance, funny pictures, caricatures and photographs of the bride are pasted on their surface. Each new attempt costs money.
For the groom's witness
The presenters do not disregard the witness - an important guest in the wife's house. Here are some interesting bride ransom contests for a witness:
- The witness chooses one of three glasses with water, in one of them it is bitter, in the other with salt, in the third with sugar. They say to him: “With what face will you drink water, with such a wife and husband we want to live”! If the witness chooses a glass of bitter or salt water, he must try and not show. Sometimes the facilitators trick and add sugar to all three glasses.
- A test where the witness must show the candidate for husbands from the best side. While the groom is walking up the stairs, at every step the witness gives him compliments, calls talent or achievement in order to more beautifully introduce a friend to the presenters.
- In order for the groom to practice dancing with his lover, the witness is offered to choose one of five songs. Only now the witness and the groom will dance to this song with each other.
The ransom ceremonies of the future wife are exciting holiday activities. It is interesting to beat all competitions for the bride’s ransom thematically - kidnapping the bride by the mafia, capturing an evil witch, gypsy ransom. The organization of the event takes time and effort, but the result justifies the costs - this day will be remembered by guests and lovers for a long time.
