The classic scenario of the ransom of the bride

The women's site Mikrusha.ru offers a script for the ransom of the bride. The ransom of the bride is carried out by the bridesmaids, led by a witness at the wedding. The witness must also participate.

The classic scenario of the ransom of the bride: the meeting of the groom

Witness:

Oh you gentlemen,
Where are you from and where?
And what would it be for
Are you at the parade today?
What are you, guests, bargaining for?
And why are you coming here?
Bow to you, honest people.
What wind took you?
You feed us business
Are you wandering around doing nothing?
Maybe you want to steal?
Is it my girlfriend?
Don't hope and don't wait
I won't let you through to her.
- after all, a beautiful girl,
Master of all trades.
Brewing, sewing and embroidering,
And knows about everything in the world.
Young, slim, beautiful,
The white face is amazing to everyone.
But in order to achieve her hands,
You need to work hard.
You, the bridegroom, in front of all the people
Show me what you're good for.

Witness:

What are you, dear friend,
Do you think badly of us?
Trade goes wrong
An unspecified item.
There is a bride in the tower,
Impossible to take your eyes off.
In the daytime, the light of God eclipses,
Lights up the earth at night.
bless us
In let go now.

Witness:

Are you a fiance?
Are you a witness?
So you are responsible for everything.
Gotta help a friend
Answer questions.
Please give us an answer:
For what reason
Have you decided to get married?
Accuracy of the eye, sleight of hand
This is where they might come in handy.

Classic bride price scenario: target

A large target hangs on the wall, each field of which indicates the reason for the marriage:

10 - at the call of the heart
9 - for love
8 - by calculation
7 - by maternal command
6 - on the instructions of the party
5 - on the advice of friends
4 - as needed
3 - out of curiosity
2 - foolishly
1 - "Damn it!"
"milk" - an attempt - not torture.

The groom must demonstrate his accuracy and hit 10 or 9. For each miss, the groom pays a ransom.
Bride ransom scenario: questions to the groom

Witness:

What are you, the groom, not cheerful,
Did you hang your head on Buina?
And now your second contribution
Put it on a tray.

Well, now the question is this.
Do not rush, groom, wait:
Remember where you met your bride
What are you wearing, as you noticed?

The next question is,
It is more difficult than the other one:
What is your bride's name
You tell me about it
write her name.

The groom must lay out the full name of the bride in coins. The task is accompanied by jokes like: “Write bigger! Don't spare money."

Witness:

You paid generously
And he didn't talk about love.
So that no one doubts
You confess your love.
Shout loudly, do not melt:
“____________ (name of the bride), I love you!”

Classic bride price scenario: bridesmaids

Bridesmaids:

We are bridesmaids,
Pour us a mug.
Well, to be softer,
To not judge strictly
Released to live
Treat us to Coca-Cola.

How many days were you together?
Have you looked into the eyes of the bride?
Now you tell us
Tell us the color of those eyes.

Red lips, you know them
Guess for sure -
Those who are brides.
You won't leave the place otherwise.
Make a mistake - so be it
You will pay us money.

The groom is presented with a poster with numerous lip prints, both female and male.
The young must recognize among them the lips of his betrothed. Under each lip print, you can write any amount - the ransom that the groom will have to pay in case of an incorrect answer.

Classic bride price scenario: announcement

Witness:

Announcement ahead:
You tear off the personal
Read the bottom letter
And call the bride.

There is a sign on the wall that says "Call me, darling!". The lower part of the ad is cut into numerous strips. Only one letter is written on each strip. The groom should tear off the strips one by one and loudly call the bride in such affectionate words that would begin with written letters. If the next letter causes difficulty for the groom, he can turn to his faithful friends for help. If they cannot come up with an affectionate word, then the groom pays the ransom. The test continues until all the strips are torn off.

Bridesmaids to Groom:

Groom, do you need a bride?
Pay us in full
For girlish beauty
For the bride's braid.
That's the point, our dear:
If she had a scythe,
Even more would be ripped off from you,
They wouldn't give it up at all!

How old is our __________
Give us so much candy.

For the bride's smile
Give us a chocolate bar.
For the bride's muzzle
Give me the green paper.
For beautiful legs
Give each friend a three.
For thin eyebrows
A bunch of carrots.
And for the hair Russians
Give us beads.
For _________________ clear eyes
Give beautiful songs.
Bridesmaids to Groomsmen:
Our ears are on top,
We wait for an hour
Sing, guys, we ditties
We'll let you through then.

Classic scenario of bride price: groom's dance

Witness:

Eat well, boy.
Are you dancing well?
You dance to us more cheerfully
"Dance of the little geese!"
To get the bride
You must jump like a goose.
Yes, ask your friends
To go along with you.

The groom, along with his friends, to his own accompaniment, must perform the “Dance of the Little Swans”.

Witness:

Shout out to the whole world
That you love your bride the most.
For noise in a public place
Pay a fine of _________ rubles.

And now for the sake of order
Guess the riddle, bridegroom:
“Once upon a time in the icy winter season you went to your mother-in-law,
how old is she?"

And now in an instant:
"When is your mother-in-law's birthday?"

Classic bride price scenario: three glasses

Three glasses in front of you:
With sweet, salty and bitter water.
Which one will you choose
Such and be your destiny.
Here is another glass of water:
Put down the gold.
As water spills over the edge
So happiness will smile at you.

You have passed a lot of trials
But I won't give you the bride.
To hiss, ring, rustle,
Fill us three glasses.

The girls bring out a tray with three empty glasses, which the groom must fill with money and champagne.

Witness:

Here you see this pelvis.
Put in it now
Neither goat nor lamb
Not a bad pig.
For the bride, put
What does she need for her soul?

The groom is required to guess what the witness is talking about. It will be difficult to guess for yourself, so the girlfriends in one way or another must lead the groom to the idea that the most precious thing for the bride is himself. When the groom understands this, he should climb into the basin. Finally, the groom is allowed to the door of the room, from under which several ribbons stick out. Ribbons are tied to the fingers of women sitting outside the door, including the bride, several friends and, for added laughter, some old woman.

The classic scenario of the ransom of the bride: the groom pulls the ribbons

Bridesmaids:

Pull one ribbon -
Pull out your wife.
If you pull out the wrong one,
Payments to us in rubles.
Or marry the one
What are you pulling.

The groom pulls on any ribbon of his choice. If he is mistaken and draws not a bride, then he is asked to pay a ransom or marry the one he chose. The test continues until the groom pulls out the bride's ribbon.

Witness:

Yes, it's yours now!
I only have shoes.
Or do you give a ransom
Or you lead the barefoot to the registry office!

The groom is given several boxes of shoes. Only one of them contains the bride's shoe, while the rest contain torn slippers, children's galoshes, bath slippers, felt boots and similar shoe rubbish. For each incorrectly guessed box, the groom pays a ransom. The test continues until the groom finds the bride's shoe.

Bride ransom scenario: conclusion

Witness:

The test passed.
You have reached the bride.
And so now
You take the bride to the registry office!
