In our time, the role of the witness is a pure formality. Nevertheless, the chosen person has a great responsibility. She is the main assistant to the bride, who will share with her all the pre-wedding and wedding chores.
What should the witness at the wedding?
- Attire . When choosing a dress, do not try to dress better than the bride. Do not choose a white dress or a flashy shade (for example, neon pink, light green). Give preference to an elegant pastel color dress. Do not wear high heels, as you will have to walk a lot. It will not be superfluous to wear a long dress and sandals.
- Scenario of the wedding . Think for guests entertainment, competitions, toasts, etc. This will help save the wedding, if the toastmaster is not particularly talented, as we would like. Witnesses should light the guests and make the holiday unforgettable. Think over the scenario of redemption. Spend it in a separate room. It should last 5-10 minutes, no more.
- Wedding dress . Another duty of the witness at the wedding is to choose the suitable wedding attire, shoes and accessories for the bride. Most likely, you will have to visit many different salons before you find something suitable.
- Photographer . Typically, the newlyweds themselves choose a photographer, but you should make sure that the pictures from the wedding are preserved. Take a camera with you or put it on the witness's shoulders. Amateur photos should be sure - they will remind you of this holiday.
- A hen party . The bride herself chooses a place and invites her friends, and the role of the witness at the wedding in this case is to invent entertainment and give tasks to other girlfriends. You can take the initiative on yourself and completely organize a bachelorette party , but do not overdo it - the party should pass in an easy and friendly atmosphere.
What does the witness at the wedding do?
- The bride's fees . On the day of the wedding, come to the bride early in the morning. Help her to put on a wedding dress and make sure her image is the way she was planned. Just in case, put in your purse with a valerian, a needle and thread, hairpins and hairpins, a handkerchief, an umbrella and other accessories.
- The REGISTRY OFFICE . Go to the registry office in one car with the bride. During the ceremony, the witness stands next to the groom, and the witness - next to the bride. But more and more often the witnesses are left with the guests. What does the witness need for the wedding? Prepare grain, coins, confetti and rose petals. After registration, sprinkle them young.
- Gifts . When the ceremony is over, the young will be congratulated by the parents. Then you must come. Stand beside the bride and, together with the witness, help her receive congratulatory bouquets. Take the flowers to the car. Do not forget to take documents from the registry office about the registration of marriage.
- The restaurant . Sit next to the bride. Do not allow guests to play a cruel joke and steal it. If you participate in the contest, and you will be part of the kidnapping of a young wife, do it so that everyone feels comfortable in the contest. Do not delay entertainment.
- Feast . What else is required of the witness
at the wedding? Participate in all games and competitions. Try to make the holiday as joyful as possible. In your presence, guests should not be bored, and the bride should remain alone. If something breaks, offer an alternative. The main thing is not to let the bride panic and always be able to correct the current situation.
If you had the role of a witness, try to do everything possible so that the bride is not upset, and the holiday was a success. Help your girlfriend feel special on this day and give her something original.
