Questions to the groom on the ransom of the bride - funny and fun options

Redemption of the bride is one of the most fun wedding ceremonies and often sets the tone for the entire event. The highlight of the program at this stage of the holiday is, of course, the groom, to whom the close attention of all those present is riveted. Therefore, the excellent mood of the guests and the general atmosphere of the celebration depend on his humor, ability to keep himself, goodwill and resourcefulness.

The custom to ransom the bride before the wedding is rooted in the distant past. At that time, giving the daughter in marriage, the family lost an additional work unit and demanded compensation for this. To this day, the ritual has come in a slightly modified form. So, if earlier the ransom presupposed the offering of any material values, such as: money, cattle, expensive fabric and household items, nowadays it all comes down to comic trials for the groom, a huge number of funny contests and tricky questions.

The bridesmaids are usually engaged in the preparation of the ransom. They know the bride and groom very well and therefore try to ask the groom as many questions as possible. Thus, relatives can make sure how well the future spouse managed to find out her bridegroom and whether they are giving it to reliable hands.

Questions to the groom should be asked in a playful and playful way, and the procedure itself should in no way resemble an exam. To do this, there are many interesting options that are closely intertwined with drawing, singing and doing comic tricks.One of the most common examples of questionnaire design is Chamomile. The organizers draw a flower with a lot of petals on a large drawing board, on each of which a question or a cool assignment is written. And if the groom does not have problems with tearing off the petals, then the next version of the questionnaire looks a little more tricky, and to get an answer to the question, he suggests to be resourceful and quick-witted. We are talking about balloons, inside which are placed notes with tasks, and which are proposed to burst without the help of hands.

The next, no less interesting version of the questionnaire is Roulette. For this, roulette is made from colored paper and cardboard and a list of questions is prepared. The groom is offered to bet money and spin the wheel. If the answer is correct, the money remains at stake for the next question, and if the answer is incorrect, they are taken back to the ransom of the bride. For each correct answer, the groom receives a token, and in order to proceed to the next contest, he needs to collect 5-7 of these chips.

Usually all questions to the groom concern his lover, her parents, as well as the relationship between the young. However, when creating a test script, the organizers should avoid sensitive and too personal questions, as well as those that may offend any of those present. In addition, the questions should not be vulgar, concern the features of appearance and affect the past relationships of young people. Below are the most popular questions that can be combined with comic mini-tasks or fun trials.

• The appearance of the bride. Composing questions for this block, the organizers should dwell only on some common points, without going into details. If, for example, the bride has a snub nose and she is weighed down by this, then questions or jokes on this topic should be strictly prohibited. Interestingly, you can beat the question of the color of the eyes of your beloved, where instead of describing the color, the groom is invited to draw it. Moreover, the desired shade among the proposed pencils should not be. In this case, the groom will need to be smart and get the right color by mixing several others. Oral questions about appearance can be replaced with small tests. For example, show the groom several shoe insoles and offer to choose the one that belongs to his bride, or give several ribbons of different lengths and let him determine which one corresponds to the size of the bride’s waist.
• Plans for a joint future. This block of questions is aimed at finding out how young people fit together and whether their views on the future family are sufficiently convergent. In this thematic section you can ask the groom about the place that the bride wants to visit, as well as how many children she would like to have. You can also find out how, according to the groom, the bride will call his parents after the wedding. It will be interesting to clarify whether the groom knows the future dream of the future wife and whether he is able to fulfill it.

• Numbers and dates. This block is very extensive and includes the following questions:

1. What day did the young meet?
2. What time was it at the time of the first meeting?
3. What time was the bride born?
4. How many months after meeting the proposal was made?
5. What size winter shoes does the bride wear?
6. How many windows in the bride’s house and how many steps lead to her apartment?
7. How many minutes per day does the narrowed woman spend near the mirror?
8. How many millimeters of growth in a future wife?
9. Name the exact number of bridesmaids.

• The preferences of the bride. In this block of questions you can ask about what flowers she does not like, whether she would prefer dinner to a barbecue restaurant on the river, what qualities she considers the most valuable in people and what music she listens in her free time.You can also find out if the groom knows about why the bride fell in love with her, what hobbies she has, how she likes to spend her vacation and what perfume she has been using lately. Correct answers to these questions should be recorded with the organizers. For each incorrect or inaccurate answer, the groom gives away a symbolic amount or buys in sweets. If sweets and money come to an end, then as a compensation for the wrong answer, the young man is offered to sing, dance or perform a comic task.

• Questions with a trick. This block uses tricky questions, suggesting two or more correct options, and sometimes a detailed answer. So, the groom is usually asked:

1. What perfumes does the future spouse use in summer and winter?
2. What is the bride’s foot size by European standards?
3. What was the day of the week when the young people applied to the registry office?
4. What toys did the bride love in childhood?
5. Does the bride have awards and certificates?
6. How many fours in the school certificate of the bride and in what subjects?

There can be a ton of complex questions, however, when compiling a questionnaire, the organizers should alternate them with simpler and more obvious questions. Otherwise, the groom may have an inferiority complex, and guests will get bored.

• Cool options. Questions in this block do not have a specific topic and apply to all areas of life. Moreover, both the question itself and the answer to it should have a light content, be funny and at times remind a pun. For example, you can ask the groom why he decided to marry our bride, and, in general, list the reasons why he should marry. It does not hurt to find out that the young spouse would prefer to be brought to bed: dumplings or coffee? The groom is also asked to suggest what the future wife will be more pleased with: a bag of potatoes or a bouquet of roses, and whether she prefers cleaning the house to relax on the beach. Then the bride and groom are asked to name ten ways to hide the nest egg in the apartment, what makes the bride look like a summer sky and list all possible bride's colleagues by first and last names.
• Mother-in-law and father-in-law. In this block, the groom is usually asked what were the first words of the mother-in-law at the time she met her future son-in-law, what day of the week this year she will celebrate her birthday and how many father-in-law are. You can ask about what the mother-in-law will regale at the dinner party and what dances she does not like.

In addition to posing direct questions, the comic quiz can be diversified by solving puzzles and crosswords. To do this, the organizers compile a list of questions that suggest only definite answers, and, drawing on these data, draw a crossword puzzle grid. Childishly decorated puzzles with painted animals and toys look original; the answer to them will be a childhood hobby or the current hobby of a future wife.

The ransom of the bride is one of the most striking episodes of a wedding celebration, so you need to try to turn it into an exciting and fun game that would be remembered for a long time by all the guests of the holiday.
