Recently, during the holidays, it has become fashionable to return to folk traditions. And of course, many young couples in love try to observe all the ceremonies when they get married. The first step is to obtain the consent of the bride's parents for the wedding, in other words, matchmaking. A couple of years ago it was just the groom's acquaintance with his parents. Although, in fact, the ceremony is very interesting and will bring a lot of pleasure to all its participants.
Instructions
Step 1
Send matchmakers to the bride's house - close relatives and friends of the groom. Prepare their speech in advance so that it is not boring and dull, but, on the contrary, is full of good jokes and sayings. If the groom immediately goes with his retinue, he must take gifts for the groom's parents and for his chosen one, treats to the table. Indeed, in a relaxed atmosphere, it is easier to agree on a future wedding.
Step 2
If the groom's relatives are imaginative, you can conduct matchmaking in the old style, learn a few beautiful phrases that are appropriate for the place like “you have a product - we have a merchant”. And the bride's relatives can play the role of fake brides. And it doesn't have to be young ladies. You can ask to play the role of the bride's grandmother or even dress the man in a woman's attire. Here it is important to play the ritual in a fun way, so as not to offend anyone with an accidentally dropped word.
Step 3
If the parents on both sides live in the same city, you can combine parenting and matchmaking. Then the holiday will turn out to be wider and more fun, and they will be able to agree on the small details of the holiday themselves, without the participation of the bride and groom. If the couple's parents live in different cities, it is better for the young to visit them and ask for blessings.
Step 4
You can arrange several comic contests to test both the groom and the bride. It is traditional to throw coins on the floor, which the girl must collect and not give to anyone. Unfortunately, now this competition is held on the second wedding day, while earlier it was a mandatory attribute of matchmaking. Moreover, a girl should never give a penny, no matter who approached her with a request. And the groom can be tested for strength, dexterity, how much he knows his chosen one and whether he is ready to live with her all his life. The main thing is that contests and games are kind and not offensive.
Step 5
If the matchmaking is successful, the bride's father brings her by the right hand to the groom and personally joins their palms. Then it is considered that the blessing of the parents has been received. And that means - a merry feast, but for the wedding!
