Meeting the groom

The bridesmaids are standing near the entrance door.
They have drawn cardboard shoulder straps attached to their shoulders, and they hold toy machine guns in their hands. Badges are attached to the clothes: “Member of the selection committee for family service”, “General of the Army of Love”. There is a large poster on the entrance door: “Admission to Family Service.”

The groom and his guests approach. Girlfriends say: - Stop! Who are you and why did you come here?

Groom: - I am the groom and I came for the bride.

Girlfriends: - To get a bride, you need to pass a selection to enter the family service. You will undergo tasks that will show whether you are fit for family (military) service.

Service in training

There are two tests you can do here:

  1. For shooting accuracy : attach a dart board to the wall of the entrance, and attach pieces of paper with inscriptions on it. The theme of the test is why the groom wants to get married, so the inscriptions are appropriate: for love, for calculation, for getting married, the bride’s parents force the bride to eat borscht every day, there are no clean socks left, etc. The groom will have several attempts to get into the inscription “by love,” and for every mistake you will have to pay.
  2. To own a weapon , which is a meat grinder: the groom must disassemble and assemble it in 1 minute, and for exceeding the time he pays a fine.

An original idea for a bride price in the style of a fire inspection

An unusual way to hand over the bride to her future husband is fire department style. The hero of the occasion should be met near her house by girlfriends dressed as firefighters . His path can be blocked by a car with an orange bucket instead of a special signal. The girls jump out of the car with fire extinguishers and a hose and shout that they will now put out the fire that has flared up in earnest in the groom’s chest. As a test, you can come up with a quiz about the rules for maintaining an even flame of the family hearth . You can also act out a scene with a fire and invite the groom to save his future mother-in-law from a room burning with family love.

Walking through a minefield

Along the steps of a flight of stairs or along the path to a private house, place mines and daisies drawn on cardboard , and there should be fewer daisies, and the interval between them should be two or three steps to complicate the task. You can only step on daisies; if you step on a mine, then there is an explosion and a fine, which the witness pays.

After passing all the tests, the groom is recognized as fit for family service and takes an oath, the text of which is read to him by the “military commissar” - the bride’s witness. After this, the witness solemnly hands over the keys to the bride's house .

But the main thing is for the groom to read the wedding oath:

“I, ...... (full name) solemnly swear allegiance to my future wife. I vow to love and care for her through thick and thin, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I swear that I will be a good husband to her.”

There are many options for bride ransom, the main thing is to choose the scenario that will provide fun and memorable moments!

Venue of the celebration

If you want to truly follow the chosen theme, then a field kitchen will look original. Place military tents or tents in the field, order catering for banquets and prepare the necessary paraphernalia.

A common option is to book an outdoor cafe so that guests can go outside and take photos. For a small company, rent a house or cottage, where you can barbecue and cook your favorite dishes yourself.

Stage No. 2. Tests on floors

The groom is invited to the entrance, where tests await him on each floor. The following competitions can be held at the entrance:

  • On the first and second floors, place the letters on the steps. The groom needs to come up with an affectionate word for his beloved for each letter. Or put paper hearts on each step with the words “How many hearts there are, so many kind words.”
  • On the steps of the next floor there may be questions about the bride, her interests, and relatives. If you don’t answer, pay the ransom.
  • Next, the groom is asked to write the bride's name in money. Girlfriends joke: “Write bigger.”
  • Guess the bride from children's photographs (you can hang photographs of the bride and bridesmaids on a thread with clothespins). Or make a piece of paper with kisses on which the groom needs to guess the mark from his beloved’s lips.

  • On one of the floors, the groom is asked to dance or sing a song about the bride so that she does not get bored in the apartment. The groom must be notified about this competition in advance.
  • The witness asks the groom's friends to tell about him, what he is like, what he can do. Such a competition can be done without preparation so that it is interesting for everyone.

Here you can say the following words:

“We don’t know the groom yet, we want to know everything about him.” Let the witness take his time and tell the whole truth.

Otherwise, a lapel.

Bride's image

The bride can be either in a classic dress, emphasized by a belt in blue or yellow shades, or in a more daring outfit. The main thing is that it should complement the groom’s suit, which resembles a military uniform.

What types of wedding dresses can be:

  1. All white, off the shoulder, formal silhouette or full skirt. Additional accessories are required - a belt, beret or hair ribbons.
  2. With a white fluffy skirt, a striped top, like on vests.
  3. With a blue flowing skirt and a striped corset.
  4. With a white skirt and a camouflage corset.
  5. Fully camouflage dress, which is sewn from thick fabric. Unlike previous options, the cut is quite strict, somewhat reminiscent of the official attire of women serving in the army. Silhouettes are most often created fitted with a knee-length skirt, or they choose a floor-length or ¾ A-line silhouette.
  6. A trouser suit, stylized as an Airborne Forces uniform, should fit and highlight the figure.

Regardless of what the dress is, the neckline should be quite modest.

The most commonly chosen forms are:

  • rectangular;
  • round;
  • team;
  • high neck;
  • heart with strap;
  • asymmetric;
  • straight.

Due to the rigor and seriousness of the chosen image, there should be a minimum amount of jewelry, preferably limited to only small earrings.

You should also remove flowers from the created image, leaving only a miniature bouquet of green, blue or yellow buds. The hairstyle is done using braids, collected in a bun or curled in small curls.

It should look as simple and practical as possible.

How to register and conduct

To create the general atmosphere of a themed holiday in the style of the Airborne Forces (military), it is necessary to provide for all the details. Due to the fact that the palette for decoration is quite limited, you need to pay a lot of attention to the selection of jewelry.

Colors used:

  1. Blue, any shades that contrast with white.
  2. Blue is used less and only because many do not know what color vest the Airborne Forces wear.
  3. White is a must-have color that complements bridal looks.
  4. Yellow can only be used as an accent - because it is found only on the flag and emblem of the Airborne Forces.

Due to the fact that everyone was accustomed to the paratroopers bathing in the fountains every August 2, they became associated with these park elements.

Later this spread to other bodies of water. Where the holiday is held:

  1. A square next to a fountain.
  2. Vacation home.
  3. The shore of the reservoir.
  4. The restaurant's open terrace overlooks the embankment.
  5. Restaurant hall with high ceilings and light walls.
  6. An airfield, an airplane hangar, a more complex and expensive option.

The main decorations should look strict - no drapery with tulle or other flying fabrics.

It is best to avoid balloons and other elements that are associated with a classic wedding.

What to wear for guests

It is not necessary for friends to dress in military uniform; it is enough to use themed colors in their outfits. For example, the female part of the guests can buy vest dresses or the same skirts. Guys and men can choose dark blue suits or get by with classic white shirts and trousers.

Attention! As a gift to everyone who came, present blue berets, which guests will take home as a souvenir. A uniform belt with a badge would be a good accessory.

Performing special tasks in difficult situations

In many thrillers, the most intense moment is when the hero must correctly disconnect one of several multi-colored wires to prevent the bomb from exploding. Here, too, the groom is asked to untangle a bundle of wires or ropes (it’s better to choose multi-colored ones) to make sure that in family life he can untangle any difficult situation. You are given 40 seconds to complete the task; if the time is exceeded, there is a fine.

How to hold a military style wedding - ideas

Newlyweds are increasingly trying to make their wedding unusual, so they hold it in unusual places or in unexpected palettes. One of the growing trends is an airborne-style wedding, which is suitable for a couple when the bride or groom is associated with the airborne troops.

Sometimes such a theme is chosen by people who are not related to the army, but whose celebration falls on August 2. But here you need to be careful, because the paratroopers encountered that day may not appreciate this use of their symbols.

Scenario

The redemption procedure can be roughly divided into three main parts :

  1. Arrival of the groom and meeting with “traffic police officers ”. At the same time, the “inspector” presents a fake ID and introduces himself in the style of “Foreman Kozlov, five children, 100 rubles salary. Are we breaking the rules? or “Sergeant Major Sinyak, please show your license and Bank of Russia banknotes in expanded form.” The groom’s objections are not accepted, the “inspector” shows a sign of a ban on entry (can be in the form of an ordinary brick with a flirty ribbon or in a gift wrapper). The newlywed and witnesses are required to show their license, to “breathe”, they are informed about speeding, violation of rules, ignorance of traffic rules . The result is a requirement for the future husband to pass a driving test .
  2. Competitions for the groom . It turns out how well he knows his future wife, what he expects from marriage, how many compliments he can give to his beloved, whether he can successfully praise his mother-in-law, and so on. Darts with inscriptions - reasons for marriage - are used as props. You can invite the future husband to walk along a ruler blindfolded, draw a chain along a complex trajectory, select the right item of the bride’s toilet or a scarf with her perfume, and draw a picture of the newlywed. Incorrect answers or “violations” are punishable by “fines” .
  3. After successfully passing the exam, the newlywed is given the “rights to family life” and is given a bride .

An important condition for a successful buyout is the involvement of the maximum number of guests . At the same time, it is worth making sure that the roles are distributed evenly or are allocated to guests with the best sense of humor. The bride's participation in competitions is not necessary, but if she wishes, she can give advice to her beloved .

The main theme of the competitions should be cars, playing out jokes about traffic police officers. Guests imitating traffic cops should behave in an exaggeratedly formal manner, emphasizing the characteristic features of “traffic cops on duty.”

Summary

If your husband is a paratrooper, and you cannot choose a wedding theme, then turn your attention to the Airborne Forces style. You can really have fun with all the guests. Funny competitions, catchy songs and bright decoration of the hall - all this personifies this style. It is ideal if your celebration takes place in the warm season, since the celebration is associated with a trip to nature. But in any case, everyone will remember this bright moment in life.
