Standing side by side with a loved one on the threshold of a new life, when in a couple of minutes what they have been striving for and waiting for so much happens - the sacrament of marriage, each of the young people thinks about many things.
First of all, these are thoughts about how much patience such a handsome and courageous groom will have. How will the character of such a beautiful bride change today... Anything can happen in the future. But today, the humorous oath of the bride and groom, comic poems and ditties are most welcome. But as they say, each joke carries only a small part of the joke, and the rest is very serious and requires careful attention.
Briefly about the importance of the moment
Cheerful and at the same time solemn moments when the transition to another, adult life actually takes place will never be repeated. This is a very important step for the groom, who takes responsibility for the tiny family he has just created. And the most serious moment for the bride, who, along with her hand, conveys to the chosen one everything that she values and hopes for, her aspirations and dreams. It is at this moment that the soul becomes so cheerful and light when the wedding host or one of your close friends offers to say an oath to the bride and groom with comic promises, questions and answers, in poetry or ordinary text.
To do this, you should prepare long before the solemn moment and come up with the most interesting and unusual vows, descriptions of family life and other creative texts.
Nowadays, wedding scripts are very unique and for each pair of newlyweds you can write exactly one that will be unique and inimitable. However, it is worth noting that even the most humorous vows of the bride and groom or a hint of such an exchange of phrases about their future family life have recently been very rare at the wedding balls of our compatriots.
Comic oath of the groom at ransom: funny promises to the bride
The bride's ransom is one of the most entertaining episodes of a wedding celebration, in which the groom proves his true love, showing his willingness to go through all the tests and overcome obstacles in order to be reunited with his betrothed. Having completed the tasks prepared by the bridesmaids and relatives of the bride, the groom can, at the final stage of the ransom, or having directly captured his beloved in the arms, pronounce an oath of fidelity , a promise to cherish and love his soul mate, a willingness to take on all male obligations and become a reliable support for the future families.
The ransom is a dreamy occasion for the groom to demonstrate his true love
Wedding vow traditions
If we take into account that in our foundations certain promises were not entirely acceptable, then the attitude towards them among other peoples is distinguished by a variety of perceptions. Nowadays, the desire for knowledge is universal, so let's look at the main global trends in wedding vows.
Congratulations to sister on her wedding
In most European countries, Christianity has been and will remain the predominant religion for almost a thousand years. The wedding ceremony of newlyweds in Christianity necessarily takes place in a church, where they are greeted by a priest. And since this religion categorically rejects the vows of the bride or groom, in any form, they were completely unacceptable on this solemn day.
Eastern countries have slightly different views on this tradition. For example, for the Japanese, the groom and his beautiful bride, the solemn vow of fidelity and respect throughout their lives is completely out of the realm of humor and the promises are absolutely not a joke. Moreover, in this highly developed country there remains a strictly observed ancient custom, when at the time of marriage the newlyweds take an oath in front of all close relatives on both sides. In the presence of the elders and most respected people of both clans, the groom's vows are a very serious moment. Especially if we take into account the Japanese traditions of observing norms and morality, then for the bride today, like many centuries ago, this moment remains decisive in life.
No less interesting are the customs of wedding vows in other Asian countries. An Indian wedding is distinguished not only by its beauty and brightness, an abundance of music and flowers, joyful smiles of the groom's relatives and a shower of rose petals for the bride. In Hinduism, marriage is equated with the most sacred shrines of morality. Therefore, the newlyweds, according to a centuries-old tradition, take seven steps along the steps of the temple and at each one they make a certain promise, the violation of which can be fraught with very serious consequences on the part of society and loved ones.
Among the adherents of Islam, and this is the entire Middle East and most of Africa, there are no promises - comic or in the canons of customs; there are no vows of the bride and groom at all. On this day, during the solemn ceremony, it is customary to exclusively listen to the speeches and parting words of the Muslim priest, who talks about the future family life. For the groom, this may not be the first wedding, but for the young bride, these words become parting words for all the years of family life.
But a Jewish wedding, with all the commitment of this God-chosen people, is characterized by a slightly different attitude towards the affirmation of family values. As hundreds of years ago, the oath of fidelity exists exclusively for the Jewish groom. The man undertakes to create everything that Judaism implies for his faithful friend for life, the beautiful bride standing next to him at this moment. Despite the apparent conservatism of this religion, a woman does not make any promises, much less oaths, in any of the celebrations.
Wedding style: Gatsby
Before the adoption of Christianity, in some European countries there was a custom before men left for war to hold mass wedding celebrations. This was a pagan tradition and allowed some way to balance population growth. At such feasts, it was the lot of the newlyweds - both the groom and the bride - to swear oaths of mutual fidelity and observance of the rules of respect for the clan or tribe.
Funny jokes about an engagement ring
Ring, ring, ring
“I don’t want to marry a cheapskate like you!” Here, take your ring! -Where is the box?
Two friends met. - Imagine, my fiancée returned my ring and is marrying someone else! I want to know where he lives! - For what? Do you really want to challenge him to a duel? Or maybe just spank him? - What you! What you! I just want to sell him a ring...
- Tell me, Edik, why are the initials “OM” engraved on the ring that you gave me, if I am Vera Pavlovna? - What are you saying? "O.M."? Oh yeah... it means VERY CUTE.
“We declared our engagement void, so my attitude towards Charlie changed. - But you continue to wear the ring he gave you? — My attitude towards the ring remains the same!
Usually girls dream of a wedding and a white dress since childhood, but men resist.
Modern wedding and customs
Perhaps the echoes of these ancient foundations significantly influenced the numerous scenarios of wedding celebrations, which can be found in huge quantities on the Internet. Such vows and dialogues are especially common in wedding plots based on folklore.
With all the variety of ready-made plots and formats for holding a wedding celebration on networks, choosing such a solution may have several negative qualities. When adapting a ready-made script for a particular ceremony, congratulations, poems, jokes and vows prepared specifically for these newlyweds may simply not fit into the main concept. In addition, a similar celebration can be held at acquaintances, at the weddings of friends of the groom or bridesmaids. In order to make it easier to create the outline for a beautiful and serious oath, the one who has taken on the duties of a screenwriter should know a few simple rules.
Then everything will be written and spoken in the best possible way. First of all, in a state institution - the registry office, as in a church, you need to pronounce exclusively solemn words and promises that fit into canonical norms and formats. Here, almost none of the newlyweds have any difficulties. But taking an oath at the table at a wedding feast, when surrounded by relatives, friends and girlfriends, good colleagues and neighbors, is a matter that requires quite a lot of skill.
Groom's words
The bride's friends can add an interesting task to the ransom itself. The last stage can be a wonderful oath that the young man pronounces. The only condition is to make a speech near the bride's door. A girl must hear everything her lover says. Otherwise, the oath completely loses its meaning.
However, speech should not be dry; color it with epithets, metaphors and other figurative and expressive means of language.
- I swear I will always love my wife. And (if necessary) carried in your arms. I will be a reliable and strong shoulder, I will become a good girl for her. I will be a strong, brave, diligent husband. And then she will say that she doesn’t need another.
- I will always be a faithful spouse, And in general, it doesn’t matter where. I will become the best husband, Both on land and on water. I will quickly solve my wife’s problems so that she can multiply them all.
- I swear I will become the most reliable husband, I will always cherish my wife. She will be more than a friend to me. Will forever keep my peace.
The most sincere and touching words are those written personally. Therefore, you should not take the entire speech from the Internet.
It is enough to take it as a basis, on which to build the main text. Be sure to keep individual and personal points in your speech that only spouses understand.
Features and structure of a joke
So that the groom does not have to be embarrassed and the bride blushes when reading the words of a comic oath from a piece of paper, it should be memorable, cheerful and simple. Typically, the storyline of the newlyweds' vows contains humorous and serious moments. These are the usual and simply memorable parts:
Comic wedding certificate for a guest
The beginning, in which we will talk about the relationship between those entering into marriage. How dear they are to their partner and how important this relationship is to them.
An accurate and balanced expression of the feelings and emotions of the groom and his bride about this event and their future life together.
Making mutual promises for the future, how to distribute roles in the family and how the answer will be for breaking this oath.
Of course, everything can be presented in poetic form, in the form of improvisation, or in a song or ditty. It will be more fun and relaxed this way. The surprise at the end of the oath text looks especially touching. An exchange between the newlyweds of cute souvenirs that have a certain meaning for the two of them. Or jointly drawing a coat of arms or symbol of a newly born family. An amazing moment of any wedding is the release of doves from the hands of the bride or balloons with the words of the oath. In any case, this will be the most solemn moment of the wedding after the painting and the traditional waltz of the newlyweds.
Answers on questions
Another option is when the bride price leaders demand from the groom only answers to the questions posed. Questions or obligations are read out, and the groom answers - I will or will not, ready - not ready. This could be a very cool development. For example, is the newlywed ready to let his future wife go on vacation to a resort, or will he prepare breakfast himself every Sunday? What will he answer?
If the newlywed has not prepared the text of the oath in advance or may be confused in front of the public in answering unexpected questions, you can organize the vows in the form of cards that the groom will simply read out. By the way, such a composition can be played out very creatively by printing cards with obligations in advance, decorating them with plot pictures and tying them with a satin ribbon , thus putting them together.
The bride listens to the groom's promises
On each one you can leave a free field: “Completed”, where the wife will subsequently insert a “tick”. The following actions are included here - “Coffee in bed”, “Flowers”, “Kiss before leaving for work”, “Just wash the dishes”, “Go to the cinema”, or maybe even more specific actions, such as “Walking the dog” , “Sweeping”, etc.
By the way, it is precisely such card details that can also serve as ransom funds for bride ransom, when the groom pays for unfulfilled tasks not only with money, sweets or alcohol, but also with written promises. Just don’t overdo it, so as not to be considered stingy.
A little about the word given by the narrowed
In any case, a wedding is one of those moments in life that is not repeated and has no analogues. Even if this is not the first wedding for someone, with the use of such an interesting moment as comic vows, it takes on a completely different shade and meaning. Humor always brings exclusively positive emotions and brings novelty and unique coloring to the celebration. However, even the most creative and innovative event directors, screenwriters and dialogue designers need to remember one very important thing.
The word, like hundreds of years ago, was and remains material. Even in a humorous form, one should not joke too much with the oaths of young people on the threshold of a new life. Let them walk along it hand in hand, without encountering potholes, pits and stones on their way for many years in love and mutual understanding. Whether they swear allegiance or not, we simply and with a pure heart wish them happiness.
