If you are fond of the mysterious retro style, chases and shootouts, kidnappings and secret love dates, then one of the best options script wedding ceremony mafia style bride ransom will be for you. True, here it will be necessary to take into account some subtleties.
Briefly about the mafia
For example, how are mafiosi different from gangsters? First of all, by their goals. Gangsters are typical bandits whose element is crime. While mafiosi act primarily in the interests of their clan, they organize self-defense. The emergence of mafia structures is associated with the island of Sicily, but the peculiar style and surroundings evoke persistent associations with Chicago gangsters.
What concepts of mafia structure do you need to remember? This is a clan, its leadership, general staff, gangs with their leaders and performers. Do you think the Godfather is the nickname of the famous mobster? In fact, this is a general designation, close in meaning to the word "boss". All members of the mafia clan are bound by the law of silence, which is called Omertoi. This means that they have no right to disclose classified information concerning their clan, they should not resort to the help of the police and generally accept any other power than the power of their group.
Mafia laws are impressive, aren't they? On their basis, you can come up with many interesting options for scenarios for the redemption of the bride, which will involve all the guests in the general action and will not leave anyone indifferent.
What should be the design?
Of course, the external effects for an original mafia-style bride buyout require careful work. Take care of the following nuances: 
- Automobile. You can rent a Cadillac or Lincoln - these retro cars will fit perfectly into the mafia theme.
- Location. It can be a room decorated in the appropriate style, or it can be a real hippodrome, casino or cabaret.
- Props. Carved furniture, antique telephones, reticules, rhinestones, feathers, gramophones, elite alcohol, saxophones, long thin cigars, walking sticks, suitcases with money - you simply cannot do without all this.
- Pistols. You can take toy pistols, but if you want everything to be serious, then use a weapon that mimics a Tommy-gun or a Colt.
- Music. Gangsta rap will come in handy - the name speaks for itself. If you don't want to be distracted from the retro style, then jazz performed by an erotic saxophone, an incendiary cancan, music in the style of the Moulin Rouge cabaret, as well as the famous Broadway and Chicago musicals are suitable.
- Images. Female. These should be sexy straight mini dresses, fringe and sequins are welcome. Delicate provocative outfits of air cut are also suitable. Match the dress with elbow-length gloves, stockings, an elegant boa, jewelry with feathers, brooches studded with rhinestones,. However, you can give preference to and simple hairstyles, they will look no less elegant with the general extravagance of the image: it can be curled curls, mischievous curls or a strict square. Bright vamp makeup is appropriate. Male. A suit in a cage or a pinstripe, complemented by a white shirt and an exquisite bowler hat, will look especially elegant. Trousers with suspenders, white shoes, massive gold rings and a watch will be appropriate. It is desirable for men to grow a beard or mustache, however, overhead will do. And of course, don't forget about the cigar.
Possible buyout options
To buy a bride in the style of the mafia, the scenario can be performed according to the standard scheme, which can already quite deservedly be called classic. 
The team of the groom and the bride and their retinue represent two opposing factions. The groom comes to his beauty, and he is met by his girlfriends, dressed in best traditions musicals Chicago. They are preparing tasks for the groom, by completing which he will be able to join the clan of the bride's family.
It will be very exciting if you are organizing a bride kidnapping. Let's say the groom steals a girl, and her family rushes to the rescue. The idea is quite extravagant, since the action runs the risk of turning upside down, but in this case you definitely won't be bored! And if you still hide the family jewels, then the groom's mafia will certainly want to steal them, and at the same time take the beautiful bride to the registry office.

And for completeness, men can use cigars to be as similar as possible to the gangsters from the movies. Also, girls in negotiations can treat them to fake whiskey to create an atmosphere as close as possible to the scenario.
Scenario options
Mafia-style ransom, can take place in two ways. The first is when the two clans decided to become related, and the groom came to woo the Don's daughter. The second option, the ransom of the bride, who was kidnapped by the mafia.
In the first version of the performance, the bridesmaids will be representatives of a noble family of mafiosi who will be against this union. The task of the groom and her friends will be to convince them that the clan is powerful and worthy to intermarry with them. As evidence, they can flaunt weapons and fake money, talking about high-profile cases and connections.
To check the words of the mafiosi, the bride's bridesmaids will give them tasks that they will have to complete. Thus, you get a spectacular presentation that will look great on video.
The second version of the scenario is much more action-packed, since the groom and his friends will have to negotiate the release of the hostage.

According to the scenario, the groom's clan is trying to prove to the bride's clan that their groom is worthy of "Chebella".
Distributing the roles of bridesmaids
Bridesmaids play a special role in such a wedding. They should look appropriate and try to play the roles assigned to them. A little defiant appearance and cheeky behavior will make the situation more believable. Traditionally, a witness is the manager of duties and roles for girlfriends. It is good if she will control the progress of the wedding script.
Features of Mafia Style Bridesmaid Ransom
In the ransom process, bridesmaids offer the groom's friends to complete many tasks that will prove that Don (as you can call the groom for believability) can take possession of their beautiful girlfriend. You can suggest performing the following tests.
- Test one
Convincing the bridesmaids that the groom is very good and great for the bride. To do this, while the match is burning, they must name ten of its most important advantages. - Test second
After making sure that the groom deserves their interest, they check how well he knows the laws of the mafia and offer to name a certain number of films about the mafia. For failure to complete the task - a fine. Also, it can be not just the names of films, but some questions about the plot of a certain picture. - Test three
Considering that any self-respecting mafioso must skillfully shoot, you can offer the groom a darts test. To convince the girlfriends that the groom is able to save his beloved from the enemy's bullet, he must hit the top ten. If the groom does not succeed, you can bring in a witness. If the men did not cope - a fine.
The ransom scenario can be supplemented by checking how the groom possesses gangster skills. The girlfriends offer the groom a bunch of keys, including the key to the door of the bride's apartment. If the groom did not pick up the correct master key the first time, he pays a fine.
The dialogue between the groom and his girlfriends turns out to be very funny, during which he must name the reasons why he decided to marry. These may be the following reasons: there is no one to cook borscht, wash socks, and so on.
You can complicate the scenario and invite the groom to pronounce the bride's name or declaration of love in Italian. But this task requires preliminary preparation from the groom.
Redemption of the bride can take place according to different scenarios. In addition to the friends of the bride and groom, you can also involve the relatives of the newlyweds in this process. It can be a family confrontation that lasts the entire evening. In fact, in those days, the hatred of the opposing clans for each other was very great, there were chases, shootings, secret dates. All this can be shifted to holiday script. The main thing is that all guests are imbued with this atmosphere.
Gangster-style weddings are deservedly popular because it is a very bright and fun show that will be remembered for a lifetime by both newlyweds and guests!
The Chicago 20s-style wedding buyout option will appeal to bridesmaids looking to have a fun and unusual rite of passage. Strict consistency in a certain topic will add flavor to well-known and traditional contests, and participation in such a ransom will give pleasure to both the bride's “clan” and the groom's “clan”.

Preparing a gangster-style ransom.
Note: Witnesses and bridesmaids dress in gangster style, for example, in men's black suits with obligatory suspenders and hats - they talk in a rude manner, the ransom is carried out with restraint. On the table at which they will sit when the groom appears, you can lay out cards, various money, cups and a kettle, into which whiskey was poured in the 1920s. Even chewing gum is allowed. We give out firecrackers, pipes, rattles to everyone who helps to conduct the ransom - they need to be used in those moments when the groom copes with the next task.
Sitting behind the bridesmaids is her father, dressed in a striped suit and holding a thick cigar. The bridesmaids seem to appeal to his opinion every time, and the father with all condescension accepts the result of this or that competition and task. The bride's father condescends to get up from his seat and turn to the newlywed only at the very end of the ransom: his task is to make a parting speech.

The groom, of course, does not know any password.
3rd girlfriend: Why did you rush about ?! Right now, we'll give you a hint from our girlfriend, don't drift (here you need an entry on your mobile, where the bride tries to betray the cherished word with her lips and gestures, for example, “love.” The groom guesses and names the password).

1st girlfriend: You, of course, daubed, but you have money. So be it! We will let you pass! If the don will allow! (Don shows with a sign that he would not mind gilding the handle, and only after that he allows him to climb one more flight).
