So, are you faced with the task of organizing and conducting bride ransom at a wedding? Then you need to learn everything about this old and beautiful ritual. In the event that you do not want to carry out the buyback the old fashioned way, you will be presented with different buyout scenarios. It can be in the style of traffic police, Fort Boyard or quest. It all depends on the imagination, capabilities and desires of the bridesmaid and bridesmaids.
A successfully executed ransom will form the basis of wedding celebrations, because all events begin with the ransom. A crumpled or boring ransom can ruin your mood for the whole day.
For young and cheerful couples, we offer an adventure ransom or bride ransom in the quest style. This is a game for real men. However, such a scenario implies significant material and time costs. If you are limited in time or funds, then the quest is not suitable for you.
Riddles about love
Riddles for wedding competitions from the presenter can be about the most beautiful feeling in the world - love:
- What jumps, pulsates and is responsible during lovemaking? (Heart)
- Sweet, but not honey. Capable of killing, but not poison. (Love)
- The lovers met on the bridge. The girl said: “If you love me, jump down!” The guy didn’t do this, but was able to prove his feelings with just one word. What did he say? (Push)
- Who can pierce the heart with an arrow and not be punished? (Amur)
- What organs do lovers fuse together? (with hearts)
- Before war they pray once, before going to sea - twice. When should you pray three times? (When I decided to get married)
Which options to choose (serious or humorous) depends on the invited guests and their sense of humor.
What to replace the ransom with?
Bride price is a tradition that many couples adhere to. However, it is not strictly mandatory. The newlyweds have the right to decide for themselves whether they need this action. Time flies very quickly on your wedding day. If you are not adherents of ancient customs, then it is better to spend precious minutes on a beautiful photo shoot together.
There are also interesting modern alternatives. What can replace the classic buyout?
In an original way, the “reverse ransom” (or “groom’s ransom”) takes place, when the bride is asked to overcome certain obstacles in order to get to her lover.
"Parallel" buyout. The bride and groom perform tasks simultaneously, demonstrating their best qualities and proving that they are worthy of each other.
Quest for the groom. This option will require more time both for preparation and implementation. It is associated with the movement of the groom and his retinue to the city, district, shopping center, finding clues and completing tasks.
Romantic meeting in nature. Young people can agree in advance to meet in a certain place, for example, on a park bench. For such a meeting, we recommend inviting a photographer and/or videographer to capture the event.
Wedding quests for guests - bride ransom
To ensure that all guests have fun at a wedding, competitions are usually held. But you can also diversify the celebration with quests. A wedding quest for bride price can become a real theatrical production, in which guests and heroes of the occasion will take part, and will get a lot of pleasure from this action.
Tasks for the wedding quest
Wedding quest - scenario
- The groom assembles a team and begins the search for his bride. But the kidnappers are ready to return his beloved only after he fulfills certain conditions. Well, of course, his friends will help him.
- The kidnappers' conditions are simple. The groom and wedding guests will have to find the keys to the bride’s house or apartment and get into the room and free her.
- The kidnappers hand over the tasks in envelopes; you can also send them to Viber or Telegram.
- Guests and the groom will look for clue after clue on the way to the bride's house. To do this, you will have to look for pre-prepared witnesses to the abduction, who will give tips on where they last crossed paths with the bride.
- They will have to go to the nearest supermarket, where the security guard will tell you the last time he met the groom's beloved and what she bought. The product she chose, for example, will be the key to the puzzle. The security guard in this case said that the bride bought a bun.
- The next task is to go to the store and buy a bun from a familiar seller; for example, there will be a key to the bride’s house.
- Hints will occasionally be sent to the groom's team on their smartphones. Where he will see her photo near her place of residence. And when the guests go there, they will find another clue on how to find a bride.
- The presenter will also give hints, and at the same time ask puzzles, for example, the groom will have to remember when he met his beloved, what her favorite color is and what flowers she likes, what films they watched together on a date last time.
Quest competition for the groom Quest competition for the groom
- The presenter can also invite the groom to show what he can do. To do this you will need a tool, a gas mower or a chainsaw. It will be enough to show how he knows how to operate these devices.
- If there is an opportunity for romance, you can use the aerial platform, especially if the bride lives on the eighth floor. Then the loved one will be able to climb into her apartment through the window.
Hints for the wedding quest
Preparing for the quest
Preparing a quest includes several stages. First, you should decide on the format and scenario: will it be a collective game with two teams or a quest exclusively for the groom; in what form the tasks will be presented; where the bride will be at this time, etc. We advise you not to look for ready-made scripts with written lines for each participant: as a rule, it looks interesting only on paper, but in life the participants forget the words and feel awkward.
The classic quest scenario looks like this. The groom arrives at the bride's house and receives the first clue where to look for her. For example, this could be the place where they had their first date or where the groom first confessed his love to the bride.
The first clue or map may be hidden in a chest that requires a code to open. The numbers in it are different dates in the life of the couple. Having received the map, the groom goes to the first point, where his bridesmaids are already waiting for him with a new clue. And so on until the groom reaches the final point where he meets the bride.
Depending on the quest format, you will need the following props:
- • A map of the city, on which the route will be drawn and the points where tasks await the groom will be marked. A hand-drawn map will look especially interesting (but keep it to scale so that the groom can navigate it).
- • Tasks for the groom. They should be designed in the same style, for example, in the form of scrolls or stylish envelopes with cards.
- • Boxes with a lock, if each clue will be opened with a separate key for completing the task.
- • A safe in which the card will be kept. To open the safe, the groom will need a numeric code, which can be compiled by answering questions from the bridesmaids, for example: “What date did you meet?”, “Date of birth of the bride’s mother,” etc.

What else can you think of?
Of course, you can diversify the mafia-style bride price to your taste. The competitions described above are subject to change or addition. Let's look at a few competitions and interesting things that will make the wedding even more interesting.
- A retro car can be an old Cadillac or Ford, which you can rent instead of a Limousine.
- “Prohibition” competition – 20 bottles of alcohol are hidden in different places in the car of the bride’s father or someone else. The groom must fill the empty vodka box.
- “Gambling” competition – the groom must beat the bride’s father at cards (any game).
- Competition “Roll it into concrete!” – the groom is given a basin with pre-nailed boards so that his legs can be fixed inside. In this state, the groom must go through an obstacle course.
- “Reading Lips” competition – the groom must be shown a video of the bride without sound, where she says the password. The groom must guess it by reading only lips.
- “Italian Language” competition – you must sing a karaoke song in Italian. The worse the groom can sing, the more fun it will be.
- “Faithful Husband” competition – girls try to caress and seduce the groom. His task is not to smile for some time (20-30 seconds).
Mafia style ransom is very fun and unusual. Everyone has long been tired of the standard rituals from one wedding to another. It will be much more interesting for guests and newlyweds to take part in quests and thematic competitions.
Moreover, here you can fantasize as much as you like, if you have the desire. There is no need to be shy about drinking before the feast begins - drunken ransom participants will be more relaxed and artistic. The mafia theme will appeal to everyone without exception, even the older generation.
Characters
Not only the organizers themselves, but also others with artistic talent can join in the buyout in this style. The main and possible participants in the quest redemption process:
Bridesmaids. Girls can independently help complete the quest for their friend's betrothed, or they can hire a special courier who will deliver the first letter signed by the bride. So that girlfriends don’t get bored while waiting for their future husband at a given place or running around the city with him, they can give advice to their betrothed over the phone for a promise that he will make to his beloved: to go shopping with her, cook breakfast every morning or bring coffee to bed.
- Male friends. The help of friends will be needed when their friend calls given numbers to find clues that will help him come to the bride. Of the three roles, two belong to men - the first will persuade the future spouse to go to his bathhouse with the girls, the second - a gay man - will ask questions with sexual overtones. The betrothed's task is to refuse offers, then he will receive a hint where the card lies.
- Groom and witness. They both will have to try to get to the main heroine of the celebration. When choosing a route, you should take into account the character of your betrothed: if he is not too fond of riddles and large-scale movements, you should give preference to a simple yard quest.
- Photographer. A bride ransom quest is an interesting and even exciting event that definitely needs to be captured in photos and videos, so calling a professional is a great idea. The newlyweds will be pleased after the wedding to review the memorable footage of the beginning of their wedding day.
- Other characters: fortune tellers, fairy tale characters.
Scenario. Original bride ransom in quest style
Preface
I learned from my friend that the ransom can be done not with a traditional action a la market day at the Azerbaijani market with a groom-buyer and a witness-trader. She said a firm “no” to this option and boldly rushed to look for another approach.
Based on her tip, I read about a ransom quest that was invented and organized by one of the inventive brides.
The idea was that the groom was looking for the bride by solving riddles. The riddle, as a rule, was some place in the city, where the bride's friend was already waiting for the groom with the next puzzle. At that time, I already knew about quests and was eager to come up with something like that on my “X” day.
When day “X” was already looming on the horizon and the threat of being a melon hung over me... or not, better than a peach in the Azerbaijani market, I sat down to come up with a quest.
Bride ransom plot
First, I had to figure out the main concept: I don’t want to sit around half a day, gnawing on sunflower seeds and waiting for my future betrothed to be late for the registry office (well, not if I finally dragged him there after 6 years together)!
I also imagined the sour faces of my friends when I say that they need to cuckoo somewhere in elegant dresses to give the groom another hint! In addition, the wedding day promised to be eventful: a photo shoot, a registry office, a restaurant, a hotel. Where can you turn around for a multi-hour quest? The solution was found in this idea: my girlfriends and I are hiding in some beautiful place in our city, taking a photographer with us so that we have something to do until the groom and his friends decide to find us.
The “courier” (one of his friends) and I give the groom the first riddle, which indicates the place where the second one is hidden.
There will only be three clues for the groom to do it in 1-1.5 hours, with each next one hidden in a place that is closer and closer to the bride’s hiding place.
If the groom reaches a dead end, the witness (friend) can call the witness (friend of the bride) and exchange a promise (for example, to bring the bride coffee in bed every day after the wedding) for a transparent hint.
Dear brides and bridesmaids! There is a great way to replace the bride's cash ransom with the groom's promises. It will be much more interesting and fun, in addition, the bride has a great chance to pamper herself with little whims after the wedding!
Examples of pictures from the archive (reduced):
Wedding day. How it was
Now I'll tell you how it happened.
I told my 8 girlfriends and the photographer to gather at my place at 9 am. The groom's friends gathered near the apartment where the groom spent the night, also at 9. My girlfriends, I'm sure, mentally scolded me for not leaving them time to get their hair done in salons, manicures and other excesses. But what kind of sacrifices will true female friendship not make? ;). At 9.30 a minibus was waiting for us near the house, in which we were supposed to escape.
We “caught” the boyfriend of one of our girls and appointed him as a courier, handing over the first clue.
We had to hide the remaining 2 clues in the right places on the way to the “shelter”.
1 hint
The first clue sent the groom and his friends to our neighborhood park. The park is quite large and one day, while walking around its territory, I noticed a mound of large stones near the playground.
Just Stonehenge!
– I thought then and decided to use it somehow.
Letter to the groom:
Darling!
I know that nothing is impossible for you. Today you have a small task ahead of you - find me! I will always be somewhere nearby, follow my clues!If the task turns out to be too difficult for you and your friends, my girlfriends will be happy to help you by phone. The price of help is my little whims, which you will need to fulfill after the wedding.
The first clue is hidden in the stonehenge of our park near the place where children's laughter rings.
The groom also often visited this park, but I knew about his inattention to detail and thought that he and his friends would have to run around the park until they figured it out.
They figured it out pretty quickly, but we still gained time!
2 hint
The second tip was quite simple, but sometimes the simple is what makes you suffer!
The second riddle is located on the street, the old name of which is consonant with a man's name, and the new one means the army of the Ukrainian People's Republic. On this street, the clue is hidden in a place that all entrepreneurs would like to hide from.
The technically “armed” groom and his friends rushed to Google all the tax authorities in our city (they guessed what entrepreneurs were afraid of), but for some reason they quickly rejected the correct option, and therefore wound up idling.
3 hint
At this time, having long ago placed the second clue behind the sign of the tax service building on Artem Street (Sichev Streltsov Street), we were pushing the third clue with a yard broom onto the second floor of the ruins of an old house (early 20th century). We took pictures with the broom and laughed.
At this time, the groom's friend called us, asking for a hint. We were very happy. But the guys didn’t fall for our terms for a long time, and then they finally figured out where they needed to go and hung up. This spoiled our fighting spirit a little.
There is an alley along this street, not far from the house of the Soviet general who was killed by Bendera.
On the alley there is a place that Romanova founded, and where men are not allowed to enter. Not far from this place, find the last clue, which is hidden in the remains of the wall of a house from the 19th - early 20th centuries.
The groom's friends quickly guessed about the monastery, but spent a long time looking for inconspicuous ruins in the area.
We were already at the final destination of our journey and began the photo shoot.
4 hint
In the ruins of the house there was a letter:
Go to where the last video of Potap and Nastya was filmed.
At that time, the last video was filmed in Kyiv on Vozdvizhenskaya Street.
When the groom found us, we also held a couple of competitions:
- 1. The blindfolded groom had to recognize the bride by her finger.
- 2. The bride had to recognize the groom by his voice (before this, the groom and friends had to “sip” from a helium balloon).
The groom was very proud of himself for not taking a single transparent clue from us.
Both the groom and I were satisfied with this buyout format. However, such a buyout has its pitfalls.
What vows do newlyweds say?
The presence or absence of an oath at the wedding should be taken care of in advance. This is a step that newlyweds should be prepared for. Not everyone can come up with beautiful and touching words on the fly. Therefore, prepare your speech a few days before the celebration.
The bride and groom must show their loved one the written text, in which case they will be able to correct it, correct errors, inconsistencies and shortcomings. Your text will be more aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.
The newlyweds must agree in advance on the nature of the vows to be taken. They can be touching, comic, written in poetry or prose. This will determine which direction we will have to move next.
The young people pronounce the words of the oath in front of a large number of people. At this time, unnecessary excitement and worry are possible, so there should always be a text nearby. Besides the fact that you can always peek into it, it will also become a great memory. The oath can be kept and then reread many years later.
It’s better to write several options at once. As a rule, the first one is always very long and protracted. So it shouldn’t be corrected. After a few days, start writing your vows again. The second time you will be able to express your thoughts more concisely, succinctly and restrainedly.
Of course, love speech requires romance. But this does not mean that all your text should be full of sentimental meaning. Leave room for content too. For example, it would be useful to tell how you met and what attracted you to the person. Both guests and partners always listen to this with pleasure.
It is much more difficult to compose a text for a man. They are less emotional and romantic. But often it is the stronger sex that makes the most mistakes. You should avoid comparisons, which men love very much.
For example, stop saying that your wife is a second mother or that she is the best woman you have ever had. Instead of saying mom, it’s better to say that your woman is caring and economical. And instead of comparing with women, point out that your wife is simply the best in the world or in the world. This will be enough to make a woman’s heart tremble.
Route
Drawing up a route for all stages of the quest is the most difficult task. First, decide whether this will be a walking route or whether you will need transport to overcome it. In the first case, it is necessary to limit yourself to one area so that the groom does not get tired of running around the city and the quest does not drag on for several hours. In the second, take into account possible traffic jams and provide options for bypassing them.
We recommend choosing the main points of the route not just beautiful places in the city, but those that are significant to you. Favorite cafes, date spots, or just those with which you have pleasant memories. Let there be 4-5 key points, and they will be located close to each other. If there are more tasks and possible locations, the groom risks simply getting tired before the end of the holiday itself.
WEDDYWOOD PARTNERS
The beginning
On the wedding day, the groom should receive a note from the very morning. Friends of a young family, neighbors or someone else can help with this. Helpers - friends of the groom - can take part in this quest. The content of the note may be different, the main thing is that it speaks on behalf of the bride about the tasks that the groom will have to complete on the way to his beloved. For example:
My beloved (name)! I was kidnapped by unknown people! I believe in you, in your strength and your love for me. You will come across clues with the help of which you and I will find each other. If things get really tough, know that there are wonderful friends who are ready to help you solve problems. Here are their phone numbers (the names and contact details of the people are listed). But in exchange for help you will have to fulfill any of their wishes.
This may be followed by a hint about the location of the first clue in some significant location for both - a park, a cafe, a house, etc. The main thing is that the quest for the groom contains intrigue, but at the same time, the puzzle is not difficult. Ideas for bride price can be drawn from the personal stories of young people, the urban environment, and those around them.
Video: Quest at a wedding - finding a bride
As you can see, creating a wedding quest is not an easy task. But the same ordinary competitions that are held at such celebrations can be converted into quests, amendments can be made, they can be complicated, and you will get a full-fledged quest with rewards and exciting puzzles.
You can also find other scenarios for various quests on different topics on our portal:
- Quests for children 10-12 years old;
- New Year's quests for schoolchildren;
- Quests for teenagers 14-16 years old;
- Quests to find gifts;
- Quests for children.
The tradition of wedding ransom in Rus'
This interesting custom has come down to us from ancient times. Slavic youths tried to choose a bride from another tribe. At first, we simply had to win back the girl. Later, the violent path was replaced by peaceful negotiations and exchange for valuable things, for example, furs, precious stones.
"Wedding ransom" by Konstantin Trutovsky (1881)
In Rus', ransom was a test for the future husband, a test of his ingenuity, dexterity and generosity. The ritual itself began from the moment the groom arrived at the bride’s house. The native girls created various obstacles: they could block the road with a huge log that needed to be sawed.
There were often fist fights that took place between relatives of the newlyweds. In addition to strength, the groom had to show intelligence and resourcefulness: he guessed riddles, sang, danced. All tests were designed to ensure that the betrothed revealed his positive qualities.
The groom always showed generosity: he treated the bride’s relatives and village children with sweets, and brought gifts to the girl herself.
Preparation
Decide right away who will be responsible for purchasing and preparing the props (full list), who will be the reader (presenter), and who will act as the decorator. It is recommended to start preparing for the buyout at least 7 days before the wedding.
Some tips for ransom organizers:
- There is no need to torment the groom and his retinue for a long time. If they suddenly reach a dead end, suggest that they can pay off with money or candy;
- You shouldn’t tire your guests and make some kind of “grand” buyout for 55 competitions. It would be ideal to take 15-20 minutes;
- The ransom in poetic form is best distributed among 1, maximum 2 readers.
- It is better to memorize the text of the ransom. It’s not nice when the leader of this ceremony constantly looks at the sheet of paper with the script. In addition, the videographer will probably film the ransom.
- You should read it loudly so that all participants can hear you. If necessary, the test conditions should be further explained (in your own words);
- If you are planning video and/or photography, then agree with the operator and photographer on how the presenter should stand and how to line up the guests. Everything should look beautiful on the video.
Some important tips for the groom:
- Don't forget to stock up on a sufficient number of small bills (10-50-100-200 rubles);
- Be sure to remember all the important dates associated with your couple and your acquaintance;
- Let the groom's friends buy a box of chocolates in advance in case the cash ransom does not suit someone;
Pirate Challenges
The groom heads to the pirates' favorite bar. This could be a bar with a pirate theme, or any other bar that is located near the quest location.
You should agree in advance with the bar administration that the quest will take place. You can also rent bar space for a short time. The main excitement in the bar begins in the evening, and in the daytime it is quite possible to conduct a quest.
As an alternative to a bar, you can use an anti-cafe or the apartment of one of the organizers, decorating the kitchen with pirate paraphernalia.
The groom finds himself in a bar where pirates are feasting.
Character costumes depend on the number of boys and girls. Since most bridesmaids host bridesmaids, they can dress up as pirates.
Pirate costumes are quite easy to find:
If the company organizing the quest has both boys and girls, then the boys dress up as pirates, and the girls can choose costumes like mermaids and gypsies.
, laughs and walks with all his might when the groom arrives. The pirates want to kill him first. He needs to prove that he is one of them by treating them to the rum that the gypsy gave him.
The captain decides not to kill him for now, and, in the end, the pirates start an argument with the groom. If he becomes the best pirate, they will tell him where his beloved is.
1st competition - Beat the pirate at coin. The groom needs to flip a coin 5 times so that heads come up all 5 times. To help the groom, a gypsy coin.
Competition 2 - Beat the pirate at cards (here the only hope is luck, you can pay off)
Competition 3 - Knotting, competition with a pirate. 2 girls are chosen. You need to tie the girl tightly to a chair with a light scarf.
4th competition - the groom is given a card torn into pieces. He must connect them and find what is hidden.
You can hide it in an apartment, in the yard or on the street.
The pirates promise to return his beloved to the groom, but only if he accurately describes and recognizes her, because many maidens are languishing in the hold of their ship.
Wedding quest scenario for guests - example
A wedding photo shoot is a responsible process; it is best to take photographs with witnesses and a film crew. It’s better for the rest of the guests to do something else, it will be tiring for them and for you. Therefore, while the young couple is taking photos, guests from the wedding can go through the wedding quest and have some fun at the same time. But first, this event should be considered.
Fun wedding quest
An example of a wedding quest for guests:
A quest to rescue newlyweds who were kidnapped by unknown people. To keep your guests occupied during the photo shoot, organize this quest. The presenter will hold competitions for intelligence, as a result of which answers will appear as to where the heroes of the occasion can be found. By the way, you can also kidnap the bride and groom in an original way so that the guests are surprised. People in black masks appear, take the groom by the arms and lead him into the car, and carry the girl in their arms into the same car. And they leave. You can start your wedding quest with simple riddles.
Quest competition
Finding the whereabouts of lovers. After the painting, all guests, under the direction of the toastmaster, participate in competitions, thanks to which they receive clues about the location of the wedding celebration. Examples of tasks for guests to have fun:
Quests for the wedding questIt is not necessary to come up with complex competitions and puzzles for quests. Sometimes it is enough to simply divide all the guests into teams. Those who are savvy will be the first to get to the wedding venue. There will be a prize waiting for the winners. It would be great if it was a bottle of cognac or wine with the brand of the manufacturer of the new family. You can also give sweets and souvenirs to your guests.
Tasks
Classic tasks for a wedding quest: name the date of acquaintance, come to the cafe where the first date took place, find the place of the first kiss - i.e. remember the main “milestones” of your relationship. Such tasks put you in a romantic mood, but those in which you need to show athletic skills or “bribe” bridesmaids are best avoided - they have neither originality nor your individuality.
Sample list of questions for the quest
- • How many full months have passed since the date you met?
- • What date did you submit your application to the registry office?
- • Date of first declaration of love.
- • The bride's favorite place in the city.
- • The place where you met.
- • Number of the school where the bride studied.
- • Where is the bride's favorite place to drink coffee?
There are also more original options that require special preparation. For example, the groom needs to arrange your photos in chronological order or assemble a puzzle cut out from your general photo, the parts of which he will find at different points along his route.

How are quests conducted for guests?
Since this is an intellectual game, it is better to provide for it in a place in the program when the invitees have not yet had time to drink a lot. For example, after the ceremony, while the newlyweds are participating in a photo shoot or getting married. A quest for guests, held before the wedding banquet, will help them have fun and will be an excellent alternative to aimlessly waiting or following the newlyweds in the local park.
One of the close friends of the newlyweds should be responsible for organizing and running the game. He monitors the correctness of tasks. A wedding quest for guests, the scenario of which should not be particularly complex, is usually short-lived. It is better to organize it so that the time of the event at least approximately coincides with the period of absence of the newlyweds, so that they do not have to wait for the guests, and so that the invitees do not finish too early and do not get bored.
Already for the wedding itself, you can come up with a more complex quest scenario for the guests, fortunately there is enough time. But you should choose simpler tasks, otherwise tipsy guests simply won’t complete the game.
By the way, what should you do if, during a quest-style ransom or during a game with guests, someone cannot solve the problem and pass the current stage? It is necessary to come up with a “payment for tips” option in advance. You shouldn’t demand real money, but you can come up with an interesting “punishment”. Let the prisoner dance or sing, recite a poem or do something else funny that will amuse the rest of the guests.
Props for the quest
If this is a themed game, you need to prepare special props for the wedding quest. And this nuance is also very important when selecting a script. For example, if evil pirates prevent the groom from going to the bride price, you will have to at least find costumes for them for the quest. But not in every city you can easily find themed outfits without going broke, so first assess your capabilities and then draw up a scenario.
So what props might we need? For a standard game you usually need:
- Themed costumes, which we have already talked about.
- Maps of the area where the game will take place.
- Paper for notes with tips, creating a hand-drawn map with a route.
- Cardboard for signs.
- Direct tasks, puzzles, logic problems, puzzles. They can either be written or drawn on paper, or they can be presented in the form of toys. They can be easily found in any children's department. Believe me, some puzzles for children 12 years old are quite difficult for adults to solve.
- Additional props, depending on the quest scenario. For example, if the task is timed, it could be an hourglass. If the task is to navigate the terrain, you need a compass.
- Incentives for participants. Usually this is a small buffet or sweet gifts, but you can also buy just small souvenirs, like for regular competitions.
Don't forget about the photographer and videographer. Of course, if they are busy on a walk with the newlyweds, it is enough to simply ask the guests not participating in the quest to film this action with a phone camera. The newlyweds and other invitees will then be very interested to see these photos and videos.
Wedding quest – scenario of the quest “In Search of Treasure”
Before starting to create a wedding script, the newlyweds need to discuss what topic is best to create a wedding quest on. It is very important that the interests of the couple in this regard coincide. It will be interesting if the script contains intrigue, and not just competitions, which everyone has long been so accustomed to. You can even take a creative approach to inviting guests to your wedding celebration.

Let's start the magic
Characters:

- princess's girlfriend (will guide the groom all the way, explain the rules, etc.);
- Koschei the Deathless;
- Baba Yaga;
- frogs.
Attributes are in the list below.
- Costumes for each acting character.

- Additional attributes - fences for creating a swamp, stick horse, etc.
Let us analyze in detail the scenario of bride ransom in the style of a fairy tale. The groom's friend can help him in all competitions. Prompt and guide, but still the groom must perform the main actions independently.
A storyteller grandmother sits in front of the house, blocking the way for the groom and his “retinue.”
- Hello, handsome prince! Where are you heading? Is it really for the Tsar’s daughter? But don’t rush, I’ll tell you a little story, but whether it will help you in your adventure or not is up to you to decide. The father of the beautiful princess, our father the king, came up with many tasks to give his daughter to the most worthy groom.
If you complete the tasks, the princess is yours; if not, you will end up in prison. The tasks are not easy, and not everyone can handle them. If you want, I will help you, here is a magical little ball, it will show you the way and guide you when necessary. Just to get it, you need to give your grandmother something.
An exchange takes place - the groom gives the grandmother a previously prepared reward (money, treats, etc.), the grandmother gives the groom a ball of thread. And he warns that he needs to be taken care of, because if he loses the ball, then he will definitely not see the king’s daughter.
The groom moves on - on his way there is a sign with three directions written on it. If you go straight, you will find the love of your life and unearthly happiness, if you go to the left, you will get a cool car, the latest model, if you go to the right, you will find a million dollars and a dacha by the sea (variations of the inscriptions can be any). The sign that you will find love should be directed to the bride’s house.
Interesting! Read about how to throw a Cinderella-themed wedding, and check out ideas for a medieval-style bride price.
The bridesmaid (the king's second daughter, the princess's faithful assistant, etc., you can choose any option) asks the groom to choose the direction of his further path, think about where he is going and what he wants to get at the end of the path. If the groom chooses a road that does not lead to the bride, he must pay a fine.
The groom walks along the right road, where the immortal Koschey awaits him.
- Hello prince. Isn’t it my “bride’s name” that you are following? If you don't get it, it will be mine! I've had my eye on her for a long time, she's smart, she's beautiful - such a wife will be a joy to everyone. However, if you really love her, you can pass my test and prove your feelings. I have grown an impenetrable forest on your path, if you can outwit me, so be it, I will give you my bride, I will not interfere with your happiness.
There is a chair or any other barrier on the way; you can pass it only in two ways - by climbing over or through the air with the help of his faithful companions. If neither one nor the other works out, you can try to pay off the Koshchei with riches.
Having passed the test, the groom moves on. Baba Yaga is waiting for him on the way.
- Ugh, uh, uh. I can smell the human spirit. Ah-ah-ah, I see the prince is in a hurry to follow his destiny. Well, no, that won’t happen. The fiery river has overflowed all around, and you can only get to the other side by guessing the princess’s tracks. If you can handle this, I’ll skip it.
On the asphalt or floor, you need to outline with chalk or attach cut-out footprints (in socks). The groom must guess which of the tracks belongs to his bride. If you fail, you must pay a fine.
After completing the obstacle course, Baba Yaga begins to ask riddles. These can be both classic riddles and questions concerning young people. The correct answer moves the groom one step forward (for example, up the stairs). In case of a mistake, there is a fine (you must appease Baba Yaga with food or money).
After a successful test, Baba Yaga gives the prince a horse (a horse on a stick).
“I see that you are brave and smart, you passed all my tests.” Here is the reward - a heroic horse, it will help you get to your beloved faster.
Then the groom must ride on horseback to the next test. There is a swamp on the groom's way.

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.

The test continues until the bride responds.

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.

How is the ritual carried out nowadays?
There are quite a lot of options for ransom scenarios today. You can find them on the Internet or even create an individual script to order. However, certain points are repeated in each of them.
Let's look at how this usually happens:
- Meeting of the groom and his friends by the witness or bridesmaids.
- Explanation of the conditions of the “game”.
- Carrying out tasks by the groom.
- Payback in case of incorrect completion of a task.
- Upon completion of all tasks, permission to meet the bride.
- Small buffet.
Usually the ransom is organized by the girlfriends or close relatives of the young woman. They prepare competitions, riddles, and all the paraphernalia necessary for them in advance. Everyone can participate in the action itself: the groom and his retinue are the most active participants, the rest are assistants or spectators.
Participant Roles
- The groom completes tasks, treats his girlfriends with sweets or champagne, and pays off if he cannot answer a question correctly.
- Friends (brothers) from the groom’s side help in competitions, provide refreshments, and help the groom with money if a payoff is needed.
- Girlfriends, witnesses, sisters draw up a script and conduct all the competitions; they do not allow the groom to see his beloved until he completes all the tasks.
- The bride helps her bridesmaids when drawing up questions, for example, about some dates, sizes, etc. On the wedding day, the groom is expected in a secret place.
- The bride's parents can hold the latest competitions on the way to the bride, and then hand over their daughter into the hands of the future husband. They also organize a buffet and welcome guests.
- Matchmakers (parents of the groom) can also offer their help either to their son in completing tasks or in preparing food for everyone.
Ransom Quest! Options for tasks and points!
Girls, it’s easy, only the second option will be available tomorrow, otherwise it’s on my work computer: Cool buyout for a wedding
This ransom is complex and interconnected; each person is responsible for a separate area. The wedding price consists of several stages.
If you are having an unusual bride price with the participation of many guests, try (for your own peace of mind) to make people interchangeable.
The bride's house is located next to the park. While the groom goes to the bride's house, she hides in a rotunda (gazebo) in the forest with her girlfriends (2-3 people are enough). If the wedding ransom takes place outside, provide umbrellas for the bride and guests just in case. On the morning of the wedding day, a person from the bride’s side comes to the groom’s home and hands over an envelope with the inscription “Currency for payment”, inside of which there are cards with promises (what the groom will do after the wedding). Cards replace the standard ransom currency - money (promise cards are in the archive). The groom used cards to pay if he did something wrong or made a mistake. Stage 1. “Find the map” The groom and his friends drive up to the house. A girlfriend meets him near the entrance and says that the bride has disappeared, but left a message. To read it, you need to enter a password, which the groom must know. The groom must answer the questions. Which can be written down on a computer or on a piece of paper (examples of questions for the groom are in the archive). After entering all the correct answers, a message appears indicating the location of the letter, or the bridesmaid gives a note indicating where to look for the letter. In this case, “beloved woman” was an advertising poster near the entrance, which featured a luxurious woman. The groom really liked this poster. You can think of any other place where you can hide a letter: a tree, a playground near the house, a mailbox, an entrance, a store sign, etc. Behind an advertising poster we hide a letter containing a map and the text of the letter, as well as a piece of paper with pen to solve the code.
What should the map be? This is a light sketch of the area where you will hide from the groom. Looking at the map, he should not immediately guess where exactly you will be. Let's look at an example map. In our ransom, the bride was hiding in the rotunda, which was located between the lakes. The rotunda is present on the map, but does not stand out among other objects. On the map, a flag must be used to indicate the location of the next action, where the groom will be tested. Letter with code. Anything can serve as a code. You can write a set of words that should gradually form into a phrase (see the archive for an example of a code with words), or a set of numbers that will become a secret code for passing the last stage. It all depends on your desire and imagination. After each test, the bridesmaids give the groom a small solution to the code, which indicates which numbers (words) should be removed or left. As a result, after passing all the tests, the groom should only have numbers (words) of the secret code in his letter with the code. In the example of the ransom on the site, the code consisted of a set of numbers that the groom had to name at the last stage of the ransom. An example of a letter with a code is below. Letter with a cipher Anything can serve as a cipher. You can write a set of words that should gradually form into a phrase, or a set of numbers that will become a secret code for passing the last stage. It all depends on your desire and imagination. After each test, the bridesmaids give the groom a small solution to the code, which indicates which numbers (words) should be removed or left. As a result, after passing all the tests, the groom should only have numbers (words) of the secret code in his letter with the code. In the example of the ransom on the site, the code consisted of a set of numbers that the groom had to name at the last stage of the ransom. Let's consider an example of a letter with a cipher in the form of words. Let the Persian proverb serve as our code: “Beauty is needed at a wedding, but love is needed every day.” Persian proverb Beloved! I don't trust anyone anymore! In an attempt to take possession of me, they took on your appearance, spoke in your voice... But there are tasks that only you can do...
jealous - know - beauty - life - is - and love - at work - on vacation - at a wedding - needed - wife - and children - and play - tomorrow - never - everyday - today - and task - marriage - bride - newlyweds - vacation - home - breakfast - should - and you
Among these words there are components of our proverb. jealous - know - beauty - life - is - and love - at work - on vacation - at a wedding - needed - wife - and children - and play - tomorrow - never - everyday - today - and task - marriage - bride - newlyweds - vacation - home - breakfast - must - and you After going through all the stages, the groom will cross out unnecessary words and he will be left with the words: beauty, and love, at a wedding, is needed, every day. He and his friends will need to correctly arrange the words, which will serve as the main code for the bride.
In honor of passing the first stage, the groom is presented with a red ribbon with the inscription “danger” (it will serve as a hint in the future). Stage 2. “Show the location of the bride” The groom and his friends go to the place indicated on the map with a red flag. In our case it was a park. In the park, among the trees, the groom and his retinue are met by the following girlfriend:
“Is your fiancee lost? Where were you looking? You can look for her in the places she visited most often (home, place of work, study, favorite salon, etc.). You can't handle this alone - let your friends help. To do this, it is necessary to show the possible location with gestures, without words, and the friends must name what the groom is showing. I said it out loud and lost what was said. Redeems for cards.
For each correct answer, the groom receives: code cards (one per place) and a box of chocolates as a bonus (useful later). The bridesmaid escorts the groom to the next test site.
Stage 3. “Super Hero Eventing” 3.1. A super hero must be able to drive any type of transport and overcome any obstacles on the way to his beloved! The satin ribbon is stretched - it is necessary to transport the radio-controlled helicopter (this is not so easy). For transporting a helicopter you are given a card with a code. There's an apple tied to the ribbon - bonus. The groom is not told what to do with it. If you want it, take it; if you don’t want it, move on. 3.2 A super hero must be able to defuse a bomb. Two long, very long twisted balls stick out from the bushes - red and blue. It is necessary to burst the one that leads to the bomb (the groom must guess on his own or with the help of the presenter (for a card) that the clue for this task is in his hands - a red ribbon with the inscription “danger”, which was presented at the first stage). danger=bomb. Each ball has a box attached to it. To red with a bomb, to blue - with bonuses and the next stage. The groom must burst the red ball (defuse the bomb) and pick up the bonuses near the blue one and receive a card with a code. In case of an incorrect action, the groom gives the promise card. 3.3 A super hero must be able to solve codes. The bonus box contains pink polish and a letter: “Looking for a bride? She is the most beautiful, gentle, smart and cooks well? Then you need to hurry! There are a lot of hunters for such beauties! But you have an advantage - after reading this note, you will understand where she is waiting for you! It's not difficult to guess. And if you don’t guess, pay for the clues.” The groom must guess that the clue is the word from the capital letters of the letter “ROTONDA.” You can buy a hint for a promise. Hint: read in capital letters. After solving the code, the groom goes to the bride. Stage 4. "Final Battle"
Meanwhile, the bride is in the rotunda and is photographed with her bridesmaids. The groom appears with his friends.
Three girlfriends line up in front of the rotunda in militant poses. A dialogue takes place. The groom says he has a secret password. The girls answer that they don’t need it. There are things that interest them more: “You should know what women want.” During the stages, the groom should have received bonuses with which he could bribe his girlfriends: 1. a box of chocolates for the girlfriend who is madly in love with sweets, 2. the second cannot live without apples, 3. the third really loves pink polishes. To get a hint, the groom can use promise cards.
After presenting bonuses to the girlfriends, the girlfriends part ways. The bride bends down, grabs her skirts, lifts her dress, and... She takes out a gun and demands the password.
The groom calls him, the bride throws the gun aside and falls into the arms of her beloved. Ending music plays.
