Let's test the groom
Men should always be more self-possessed, more resilient, stronger. So, before you give your bride to a young man, you need to check what he really is like. The groom is blindfolded. The following sets are placed in separate piles in front of him: a wooden block and a saw; block, hammer and nail; ax and log; a block with a crooked nail hammered in and pliers. At the command “let’s go,” the groom’s eyes are untied, and he must complete each task in turn. You just have to do everything quickly, supposedly you need to meet it within a certain time. So, when the groom deftly and quickly saws a block of wood, hammers a nail, splits the log into 4 parts and pulls out a crooked nail, everyone will recognize him as a real man, for whom they can marry a beautiful bride.
A fun competition for a wedding Question and answer - there is no better game for guests
No wedding celebration is complete without fun competitions and games. Depending on the age and status of the invitees, they should be selected taking into account a number of features. Not every proposal from the toastmaster may be to the taste of the newlyweds and those present.
For example, it would be inappropriate to force guests to jump on balls if they are 60 years or older. It’s the same with young people, they will probably be bored sitting at the table all evening and solving puzzles. But, fortunately for the presenters, there are games that are suitable for absolutely any society. These include a fun “Question and Answer” competition at a wedding (for guests, see the list of questions below).
Knowledge about each other in numbers
The presenter takes turns asking questions for the bride and groom, and they must quickly, quickly give answers in numbers. For an incorrect answer or a mistake, you will have to do something “terrible”, for example, drink a raw egg or drink a glass of sour kvass. Examples of questions: - Shoe size? — What school did the bride study at? — At what age did the groom start walking? — In what house or apartment (room) did the bride live her childhood? — How old is the groom’s best friend? — What mark was in the bride’s philosophy record book? — What is the last digit in the groom’s phone number?
Bride ransom: 28 tests for the groom
If for some reason you have a ransom, we recommend using several tests from this proven list to fill out the scenario.
1. There is a thread in the entrance door, you can’t gnaw it, you can’t crawl over it, you can’t touch it, but the groom must pass through. What to do? The thread needs to be cut.
2. In order for fewer tears to flow in a marriage, you need to shed them now. In front of the groom stands a bucket with some water left in it. You need to make sure that the water overflows over the edge, but you cannot touch the bucket. The groom puts as many different items as possible into the bucket.
3. The groom and his witness are met by the bridesmaids. In their hands they hold a tray with three glasses. The groom needs to fill them so that they ring, rustle, and hiss. The witness puts coins into one glass, bills into another, and champagne into the third.
If the groom does not fulfill any wish, then the previous one is offered to him again. For example, the presenter says: “Put what is spilling out into this glass.” The groom replies: “I don’t have that.” And the presenter says: “Then put what rustles into the glass again.”
4. An obstacle in the form of a ladder appears on the groom’s path. At each step the groom answers a question from the bridesmaids.

If the groom does not know the correct answer to a question or answers not entirely accurately, then he pays a ransom.
The test ends only when the groom, having answered questions or paid a ransom that will satisfy the bride's guests, overcomes the last step of the stairs.
5. A leaflet in the form of an announcement is attached to the door leading to the bride’s room. In the center of the ad is a colorful inscription: “Call me, beloved!” Below this advertisement is cut into strips. Tearing off each strip, the groom must somehow call his bride. Or another option: on each strip, write the letter with which the epithet will begin. If he cannot call his betrothed with an epithet for this letter, then a ransom is paid. The test continues until the bride responds.
6. Several inflated balloons are tied in front of the door to the bride’s house. Inside each ball there is a piece of paper with an inscription. On one of the pieces of paper write “key”, and on the rest - some kind of ransom. The groom must burst the balloon and if inside the balloon there is a piece of paper with the inscription of the ransom, then he must pay it, and continue to burst the balloons further, but if he finds a piece of paper with the inscription “key”, then the competition ends.
7. A wet towel is required for this test. The bride's friends offer this towel to the groom and say: “Tie the towel as tightly as you love your future wife.” Then the witness says: “Now untie the towel as quickly as you can air your quarrels out of the house.”
8. The bride, two or three bridesmaids and the grandmother are locked in a room. A thread is tied to each one (to a finger), which will stick out from under the door. When the groom approaches the locked room, the witness invites him to choose any string and pull it. Whoever this thread was tied to leaves the room. The witness says: “Take her as your wife or pay tribute.” The competition continues until the groom guesses his bride.
9. On the threshold of the room where the bride is sitting, her brother appears before the groom. The groom needs to pay him off. He offers him money, drinks, candy, etc. If the brother is not satisfied with the amount that was offered to him for his sister, he says: “Not enough!!! Few!!! Put more!!!" The competition continues until he is satisfied.
10. When the groom overcomes all obstacles and finally finds the bride, it turns out that she does not have a shoe. He is asked to find her. In front of him will be 3 boxes, one of which will contain the treasured shoe. For each incorrectly guessed box of shoes, the groom pays a ransom. The test ends when the groom finds his betrothed's shoe and elegantly puts it on his beloved's foot.
11. The bridesmaids offer the groom an apple studded with many matches. All matches must be whole, and one must be half. One of the bridesmaids should hold the apple so that the broken match is as far away from the groom as possible.
The groom will not have to take out the matches one at a time, while calling his beloved with an affectionate word. These can be a variety of epithets, such as: my beloved, the most beautiful, very kind, gentle, or affectionate nicknames such as kitten, my sunshine, etc. The competition continues until he finds the broken one.
12. Any letter is drawn on the steps. The groom, overcoming this obstacle, steps on the step with the letter. At the same time, he must give his bride some definition that begins with this letter. If the groom cannot come up with anything for a given letter, then in order to move on, the groom must pay a ransom.
13. The bridesmaids and the bride herself leave imprints of their lips on the mirror. The groom must find the desired imprint of lips - the lips of his bride.
14. A bridesmaid stands in the way of the groom with a chamomile in her hands. On each petal of this chamomile, memorable numbers for the young are written in advance.

- future wife's shoe size; - number of best friends of the bride; - bride's birthday; - height of the bride;
- the number of expected children in the family; — bride’s ring size; — the bride’s favorite number; - the number of guests invited to the wedding.
The groom must, by tearing off a petal, guess what this or that memorable number means. For every incorrectly guessed task, he pays a ransom.
15. A basin is placed in front of the groom. The witness asks him: “Put here the most valuable gift for your bride.” The competition continues until the groom realizes that the most valuable gift is himself, and puts his feet in the basin.
16. Take a large jar, place keys at the bottom and fill it with an opaque drink. The groom, with the help of a witness and other guests, must drink the entire contents of the jar.

At the end of the competition, the groom takes out the key to the door leading to the bride's room.
17. Photos of babies hang on the door of the bride's apartment. The groom must find his bride among them. Each attempt pays a ransom.
18. There are many balls attached to the wall, each of which contains a piece of paper with an inscription of the reason why the groom is getting married. - mom orders; - friends advise; - I’ll get married because I’ll get married; - because of money, etc. The groom's task is to burst the balloon and read the reason. He pays in hard cash for every attempt. The competition ends as soon as he finds a piece of paper with the inscription “I’m getting married because I love him.”
19. In front of the groom there are three multi-colored footprints, color up. He chooses and on the back reads why he is “really” marrying: for love, for convenience, out of need. If the groom makes the wrong choice, then he has to pay a ransom and try again.

26. Along the flight of stairs leading to the bride’s apartment, there are footprints glued to the steps. The groom must step on each footprint and at the same time say what household chore he will do.

How will you call your dog home in the evenings? Who wrote Onegin? Who was the main character in MUMU? and so on. The presenter collects all the answers in a bag and mixes them. Then the presenter takes turns asking questions to the bride and groom, and they take out a forfeit from the bag and read out the answer, for example, if my father-in-law comes to visit me, I will call him... (Onegin); when I need to ask my mother-in-law for something, I will turn to her... (General); on weekends I will loudly shout to my beloved “I love you, my...” (Toshka) and so on.
