Testing the skills of the bride and groom
The purpose of this group of competitions is to find out the skills of the bride and groom.
Very often, thanks to various tasks, you can find out a lot of new things about the bride and groom. The newlywed demonstrates her skills in sewing, knitting, cooking, and caring for her husband and children.
The young spouse shows the ability to perform purely male duties around the house: repairing, making something, chopping wood, lighting the fireplace, etc. You can also find out whether the future dad will be able to swaddle the baby, get the child ready for school, kindergarten or for a walk, braid his daughter’s hair or tie a bow, etc.
The newlyweds can demonstrate the coherence and compatibility of the couple in such tasks as: lighting a family hearth together, putting out the first quarrel (a candle, a torch that is set on fire at the right moment and with the right words). In addition, the newlyweds will have to be resourceful in order to pay it off faster.
Traditional wedding scenario
The wedding ceremony script is drawn up in such a way that the participants of the celebration do not have to get bored. But every entertainment necessarily has a corresponding meaning. Any game at a wedding event helps prepare for family life. In marriage, young people expect not only joy, but also various difficulties. In a playful way, they are encouraged to resolve difficulties that may come their way.
For example, already at the celebration, the participants of the holiday try to determine which of the newlyweds will take the leading position in the family. Sometimes these are just funny fortune telling, like the ritual with a loaf.
Often at weddings, traditional ceremonies of ancestors are held, which demonstrate the readiness of the newlyweds for a family life, which assumes that the husband will play the main role in the family. There are also funnier versions of games that invite newlyweds to share family responsibilities.
