Russian Bride " Buyout" ritual

The ritual of "buying out" the bride from the in-laws on the day of the wedding has been around for many centuries. It is meant as an amusing activity (comparable to a bachelor party in North America)  conducted by the groom's best men or the bride's maid of honor. The “buyout” consists of several activities such as charades, strength-testing exercises, singing etc. Each time the groom fails a given challenge, he has to pay in order to pass to the next level and get closer to his bride. At the end of the "buyout" the amassed money generally goes to the bride's parents. It must be noted that this ritual is purely symbolic and is not meant to make profit.

In modern days, some websites specialize in the "buyout" organization. They offer tips and accessories for a successful and memorable "buyout". After all, it is supposed to happen just once in a lifetime. 

A renowned website in the field is http://zelenaya-svadba.com. The site was put in place to assist in the organization of an original, creative and unforgettable buyout. Given all the headaches involved in  wedding preparation faced by future spouses, this website offers free tips and references to help out not only with the "buyout" ritual but with the wedding preparation in general.
