Thematic wedding celebration in a knightly medieval style will allow you to recreate the atmosphere of the era of brave warriors and beautiful ladies, for whom the concepts of loyalty and love, valor and honor were of great importance. A wedding in a knightly style is not only exciting and beautiful, but especially solemn and noble.
The suit needs to be thought out in advance and ordered to be sewn in an atelier, where they can recreate the desired image using modern simple and lightweight materials, and add.
The costume of a medieval groom may include imitation metal armor and chain mail, tight trousers tucked into boots, an elongated tunic and a brightly colored cloak.
Dress code for guests
In order for the holiday to convey the atmosphere of the Middle Ages as much as possible, it is better for the guests to support the theme of the wedding with their outfits and, if possible, observe the dress code.
To do this, it makes sense to include a line in the invitations to indicate the dress code. But it’s unlikely that many ladies, much less modern men, have chain mail and a ball gown lying around in their closet. 
Time does not stand still, fashion has changed a lot. Therefore, wedding organizers with a knightly theme should think about this point.
Massive rings, fake swords and armor, large chains, fans, hats, umbrellas, spears, shields - all this will help create the image. In addition, there are now many salons for renting festive clothes and there, as a rule, you can find ready-made costumes and recreate the entire look.
Complement the decor with candles of different sizes in metal candlesticks, heads and skins of wild animals, and weapons on the walls.
Dim room lighting will create interesting game shadows on the walls and will bring additional mystery characteristic of that era. It would be great if the room had a large real fireplace.
If you manage to find a restaurant decorated in a medieval style, then the decorations are already ready, because in such themed cafes and restaurants, as a rule, everything, even the dishes, is thought out to the smallest detail.
Invitation letters or cards are the first thing that gives the guest an idea of your wedding. A great idea for these are letters on aged paper, written in calligraphic ink. 
They can be rolled into scrolls and tied with twine, or they can be folded in three in the form of an envelope and sealed with a symbolic seal. It will look very stylized and will definitely please your guests.
Festive knight menu
Massive medieval tables should be laden with equally impressive treats.
Cover the table with a beautiful tablecloth and provide the same beautiful napkins. Small vases with wildflowers will perfectly decorate the table.
Have you ever wanted to live in a real castle? Impregnable and mysterious, with secret passages and echoing halls? Not every brave man will dare to settle here, but if he does, adventures and exploits, luxurious feasts, beautiful ladies and battles with bloodthirsty dragons await him. Did you feel the romantic spirit of the Middle Ages? We will be happy to tell you how to recreate it in your own home.
History and name of the style
The emergence and development of the Romanesque style (from Latin romanus - Roman) occurred in Western and Central Europe from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The term itself appeared only at the beginning of the 19th century, when a connection was established between ancient Roman architecture and the architecture of that time. Not surprising - these areas were part of the Roman Empire. However, the name is quite arbitrary - in addition to elements of ancient art, Byzantine, early Christian and other motifs can be found in the Romanesque style.
Thanks to wandering monks, the movement quickly spread throughout Europe. Over time, numerous schools appeared within the direction: French, Italian, Spanish and others. Thus, the Romanesque style covered most European countries and became one of the most important stages in the development of medieval art.
Key Features
Romanesque medieval architecture is the architecture of impregnable fortresses, majestic castles and harsh temples, so it will not be possible to implement it in a modern house. But it is quite possible to recreate an atmosphere of restraint and nobility. As they say, we take the fight!
So, the main features of the Romanesque style include:
- massiveness, severity, lack of frills
- thick walls, loophole windows, powerful columns
- semicircular stone arches and vaults
- simple furniture
- minimum decor
- knightly theme
- stained glass windows, candlesticks, lamps, fabrics and carpets
- presence of a hearth or fireplace
Materials
The early Middle Ages were not a very luxurious time. Therefore, they look most organic simple materials. Favorites include stone as the main material and bronze for decoration. Furniture is chosen from coniferous wood or oak.
Floor finishing
Mosaic floor from natural stone- a characteristic feature of the Romanesque style. As an analogue in a modern interior, ceramic tiles that imitate stone or marble look great. A definite plus is that both options are easy to clean, even if you suddenly have a hooligan Canterville Ghost from Oscar Wilde’s novel.
Cold floors not for you? Feel free to choose dark wood parquet. To create a complete picture, it can be artificially aged
Wall decoration
Most often, when decorating walls, they try to create the illusion of a medieval castle. To do this, use facing stone, plain plaster in gray, tan and beige colors or tiles (suitable for bathrooms and kitchens). The overall picture is diversified by wooden inserts, frescoes and stained glass windows.
Ceiling finishing
The ideal ceiling in the Romanesque style is low, heavy stone vaults. It looks like an extension of the wall, so their color should match. It is unlikely that this option will be implemented in an apartment, so ceiling wooden beams are used as an analogue. They will not only fit well into the interior, but will also create good acoustics.
Furniture
Furniture in medieval castles, fortresses and temples was simple, bulky and crude in design. Nothing superfluous - just the minimum necessary for life: a bed, a chest, chairs, a table. We had to somehow get out of it, so the chest turned into a bed, a bench, or a place to store things.
1. Swiss chest, early medieval design
2. Early form chest with heavy forged linings
3. Scandinavian chair, XII century.
4. Wardrobe with wrought iron lining
5. Wardrobe from the sacristy of the church, XIII century.
6. French forged chest, XIII century. Carnavalet Museum, Paris
7. Early medieval turned chair
8. Turned chair, XI-XII centuries, Aspe
9. Longobard chest from the cathedral in Terracina, VIII century.
10. Church chest on legs with false arcades, transitional form to a cabinet, 12th century.
Much attention was paid to the manufacture of seating furniture - the height of the chair and its back indicated nobility of origin. There was no soft upholstery, so the structure was painted or covered with canvas and covered with a layer of plaster. At the corners, the furniture was fastened with metal plates. Later they began to decorate it with carved elements and forged parts.
Decor and textiles
When creating an interior in the Romanesque style, decor plays an important role - it is this that makes harsh and austere rooms more comfortable. Soft oriental carpets and all kinds of draperies come to the rescue. To this point you can also add curtains, which appeared during the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. That is, when there was already something to curtain.
The knightly theme will fit in organically: armor, helmets, swords, torches, coats of arms. Any medievalist would envy such a collection. A more neutral option is frescoes, stained glass, paintings and tapestries.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, the natural semantic center of the room is a dining place with a rough massive table and the same chairs. This area is illuminated with a heavy wrought iron chandelier with electric lamps that imitate the open flame of candles. Household appliances needs to be hidden. Have you ever seen a knight use a microwave in a castle?
Bedroom
Massive, wide four-poster bed – distinguishing feature medieval bedroom, so why don't we borrow it? Add a bedspread made of natural fabric and several pillows different sizes, and at the foot we place a wooden chest with forged inserts. Voila, the perfect sleeping place is ready!
Bathroom
Even the bravest knight would be at a loss if he found himself in a modern bathroom. In the 10th-12th centuries, such premises were not even heard of - washing was not necessary. And this will not stop us from creating a bathroom in the Romanesque style. We will lay out the bathtub itself with tiles or stones. Stone soap dishes and dispensers, and copper candlesticks are suitable for decoration.
Unfortunately or fortunately, cold, impregnable castles are a thing of the past. And along with them, rough furniture, drafts walking along the corridors, lack of constant lighting and much more. Today we do not have to live in spartan conditions to enjoy medieval romance - this can be done simply by adding a few elements of the Romanesque style to the interior.
Most girls at least mentally dream of visiting the time when knights existed. That is why knightly style weddings are now very popular. Such a wedding will be a real gift for romantic people. If you have decided to have just such a wedding, then you should look for the relevant literature and try to bring it to life. It is very important to be able to convey the atmosphere of those times. After all, this is so important for the newlyweds and their guests on such a special day. Imagine how wonderful it is to find yourself in the world of beautiful court ladies and gentlemen.
How to choose the right place for a celebration
It would be ideal to carry out this wedding in the castle. But this is not at all necessary. It is enough that the knight's wedding will take place against the backdrop of a palace or some historical place. Often in front of such buildings there is a park or lawn with amazing landscapes and monuments. By renting such an area, you can save a lot of money while surprising your guests. In addition, the theme of your wedding will remain unchanged. A knightly wedding does not require any special, expensive design. You just need to rent a suitable place.
Just think what unusual photos you will get with the historical palace in the background. They will warm your soul after many years and leave pleasant impressions for a long time. Such a wedding can surprise guests too. After all, everyone is already tired of simple traditional weddings. I really want to have fun in an unusual environment.
If you can’t find a palace, you can find a restaurant designed in the spirit of antiquity. In this case, the event will be even less expensive, but then you will have to create additional decorations to maintain the desired atmosphere. This can be done using various parts and attributes.
If you still haven’t found your option, then you can choose any room and decorate it in the desired style.
Room decoration
Once the room has been selected, we proceed to its design. This must be done in such a way that guests are completely immersed in the atmosphere of the knightly era.
Look in the book about knights for illustrations of their houses. Bulky furniture: high backs of chairs, tables made of oak. Above them is a beautiful large chandelier with candles instead of lamps. An important addition will be a lit fireplace and candles in beautiful candlesticks, portraits and paintings. Tapestries are also symbols of that era. For inspiration you can look at the photo:
Wedding ceremony
The most unforgettable moment of any wedding is the marriage ceremony. The bride is led to the altar by her father. A path is made from rose petals along which the girl walks to the groom. The beautiful long veil and the bottom of the dress are carried at the back by little angels.
As for the guests, they are on both sides of the path. The person registering the marriage can be dressed in a special robe that resembles a cassock. The newlyweds take their vows and exchange rings.
After this, you can arrange a horse or carriage ride.
The undoubted highlight of the evening will be the knight's tournament. You can also organize archery or some other competition where young men fight for the heart of a lady. This incredible spectacle will bring pleasure to the newlyweds and wedding guests.
In addition, you can invite professionals in other genres. For example, jugglers, magicians, people who throw knives, do fire shows and others. Everything here is at your discretion.
Bridal outfit
Particular attention should be paid to the image of the newlyweds. After all, a lot of attention is focused on them this evening. It is important that their outfits correspond to the medieval ones.
The bride herself has the right to decide what Wedding Dress choose (model, style, style). If this is an ordinary wedding dress, then it needs to be decorated with lacing and a well-fitting bodice. This dress should have a long silhouette. This can be achieved with the help of smooth folds flowing into a long train.
We should not forget that White dress- this is not the only thing a medieval bride could wear on her wedding day. It can also be a bright outfit. The sleeves of the dress should be decorated, long and wide. The outfit was decorated precious stones and patterns. This spoke about the girl’s financial condition. Rich brides had luxurious dresses, poor ones more modest ones.
Makeup should be light and natural. This will emphasize natural beauty girls. Hair must be collected and decorated with ribbons and flowers. This wedding hairstyle was considered ideal for women of the Middle Ages.
The bride's bouquet can be chosen according to the girl's taste. It is best to opt for wildflowers.
For visual perception you can see the following pictures:
Groom's outfit
The groom's clothes should also be selected properly and match the style. Armor would be nice, but it is very heavy. You shouldn't torment the newlywed like that. You can just make them out of lightweight material in the form of decoration.
Another option is to simply wear a long tunic with skinny trousers underneath and drape a cape over your shoulders. This will turn any groom into a warlike knight.
To learn a little more about this type of wedding, we recommend watching the following videos:
A wedding is an unusual day that will be remembered for many years, both for the newlyweds and for all those invited. Very often it is the wedding celebration, its style and theme that makes it possible to create a unique, sometimes fabulous atmosphere and memories in the future. Many couples prefer to create their own special scenario and choose a wedding in a knightly style.
The splendor and sublime style in the decoration of the hall - all this is ideal for a wedding ceremony in the style of the times of the knights. The sophistication of the outfits for the bride and groom, the special presentation of dishes, as well as entertainment appropriate theme - all this makes such a wedding unique and unlike others.
Decor
Decorating a wedding in a knightly style requires turning to history and remembering the details of the situation of that time.
The ideal wedding venue would be a castle or an old mansion or palace. It is possible to choose a similar interior both in Russia, for example, in Moscow or the region, and in foreign countries that offer real castles or pavilions for wedding ceremonies.
In Russia, special stylized banquet halls are offered for newlyweds, their decoration replicating the interiors of the Middle Ages. The majestic setting, with magnificent views against the backdrop of soft green nature, is the ideal place for a wedding in the knightly style to go perfectly.
As furniture, long tables made of dark wood will look great, as during knightly gatherings with abundant food, and hanging multi-arm chandeliers on forged chains. The walls can be decorated with candelabra, creating a special atmosphere of romance and mystery.
Dense and heavy materials are suitable as decorative fabrics for table setting - velvet, velor, as well as fabrics trimmed with gold braid. Combinations of a purple tablecloth and silver or gilded cutlery look elegant. On the table, a combination of berries, flowers and candles will be effective as a floral decoration. All this can be chosen either in contrast to the main tone of the tablecloth or in tone.
Interesting! Good way quickly immerse guests in a knightly theme - conduct and allow the groom to save the bride, like a real hero.
A wedding in a knightly style allows you to combine exquisite items in the setting:
- natural stones;
- wood;
- forged metal;
- products made of gilding and silver.
Particular attention should be paid to the shape of the plates. There may be round metal dishes on the table, taking us to the era of noble knights and sumptuous feasts.
As well as oval trays on which various dishes are laid out. Heavy antique crystal, massive decanters and jugs for drinks look harmonious as glasses and wine glasses.
Unwittingly transported to the times of knights, luxurious castles, horse teams, it is impossible not to touch upon the theme of elegant outfits of princesses and courageous royals. In the women's dress of that time, a romantic line can be traced - long skirt medium fullness to the floor.
Wavy or three-quarter sleeves are suitable. Long, flared or straight sleeves, trimmed with braid, sewing, and lace are also acceptable.
Organza, silk, mixed fabrics with the addition of a slight shine are suitable materials for the bride's dress. The color scheme is white, cream, ivory, sand, as well as all shades of red and burgundy. Outfits trimmed with gilded brocade look elegant. For the bride's hairstyle model, a possible solution would be delicate feminine curls, decorated with a tiara or flowers-clips.
It is better if the flowers are in natural shades. They can be decorated with gold thread or stones. In an outfit that conveys the Middle Ages, it is very important to maintain a combination of luxury and restraint. If we look at women's dress in the days of the knights, it shows a combination of strict lines and at the same time a richness of texture, which produces an absolutely stunning effect, turning a woman into a real princess who has met her prince.
For such a wedding, shirts made of noble materials with capes or elongated vests are suitable for the groom. Elements of chain mail and outfits decorated with knightly symbols should be used. Witnesses at the wedding also choose an outfit from the era of noble knights and noble princesses, which will successfully complement the very direction of the celebration, helping to fully convey the Middle Ages.
Preparing the script
You can consider several scenarios for a wedding from the time of knights:
- bride price;
- conquering the heart of the chosen one;
- freeing the princess from an evil monster.
can be represented with messengers on horses carrying bags of gold coins, gifts, all accompanied by music and songs.
Conquering the heart of the chosen one or liberation from a mythical monster, a dragon, also means performing a serenade for her (professional musicians or friends of the groom can also be involved), poetry, i.e. demonstration of some musical and creative competition.
To free the princess from the villain, you can create an impromptu battle with checkers (attributes purchased at a children's goods store will do). It is effective to complement all this with armor and horses. If we go back to the era of the musketeers, when duels with sabers took place in order to win the heart of a woman.
A wedding in a knightly style involves rich musical accompaniment. . Moreover, the toastmaster at such a wedding is obliged to wear a suit or clothing details corresponding to the knightly era (hat, cape, caftan).
The ideal option would be to make costumes for each guest, or make do with the details. Girls should braid a flower in their hair, and men, for example, should wear a neckerchief and a shirt cut from the Middle Ages. A wedding in a knightly style, the scenario of which is thought out to the smallest detail, will be exciting.
It is important to initially take into account the number of guests and choose the right wedding venue. In some cases, one banquet hall and a green area nearby are enough to style it all for the event being held. For example, when the number of guests is average.
If a lot of guests are invited, then the scenario implies the presence of large areas, and in this case, it would be good to rent an estate or stay in an old interior. Again, it is necessary to take into account the holiday scenario, age group the majority of those invited (for various reasons, not all guests can support the idea of costumes or not everyone will want to participate in the staging part of the wedding).
Therefore, in order for the wedding to be fun, you must always invite a professional toastmaster, who helps create a festive atmosphere for all invitees, so that the guests feel like an integral part of the celebration.
Attention! It is very important to take into account the temperament of those gathered (the majority), age group, preferences of the bride and groom.
A wedding in the style of medieval times gives complete freedom in creating a menu. Large plates and trays with meat or fish dishes and game look appropriate for a banquet table. You can find many similarities with hunters' dishes cooked in a wood-burning oven or over an open fire. As desserts, dishes with the addition of forest berries - raspberries, blueberries, cranberries - are suitable. This menu stylization allows you to convey the smallest details selected era.
Don't be afraid to realize your dreams. After all, on the wedding day it is important that those present feel the unique taste of celebration, the birth of new family and an atmosphere of love. A successful holiday is, first of all, a special mood and happy looks from those present. A wedding in a knightly style helps to realize all sorts of scenarios and jokes, interrupted by a joyful “Bitter!”
Wedding in knightly style
Wedding scenario in medieval European style.
Style, details: the main symbolism of the newlyweds’ families is white and red roses; these same colors can be used in wedding decorations as an accent. The wedding is presented as a union of two kingdoms - the red and white rose.
Medieval wedding venue: outdoor stylized wedding in a fortress, castle or tent. The scenario involves a stylized ransom and a beautiful meeting of the bride and groom at the registration site.
Text of the invitation to a medieval knight's wedding:
An invitation in the form of a scroll, which is personally read by the herald. You can also send it by mail. With the invitation, a card is presented on which the guests come up with (usually with pleasure) and write their title, and return the card if they are going to come to the celebration. Invented titles are used when welcoming guests; they are solemnly announced by the herald. If the symbolism of a red and white rose is chosen for the wedding, then we ask guests to bring these flowers in the invitation, complementing the overall design. In a wedding invitation in a medieval style, you can use knightly symbols, an arrow, and a heart for decoration.

The jester runs around entertaining everyone with his fables. In his arms are dolls of a knight and his lady. With the help of these dolls, the jester can comment on all the actions taking place. And when shouting “Bitter!” even jumping out in front of the newlyweds, shielding them, showing the kiss of the dolls.
Attention, attention, general assembly! Don't beat me for the truth! Amicus Socrates, sed magis amica veritas - Socrates is my friend, but the truth is more precious! Better laugh at my witty jokes!

As a sign of our admiration, we, that is, I, your loyal subject, have prepared these magical fortune-telling pies for you. Try them!
Instead of a loaf ceremony for the newlyweds, the Jester offers guests a plate of pies with different fillings: cabbage, potatoes, meat, raisins, apples, etc. Guests choose a pie and take a bite. The Jester comments. Whatever the content, the comment should be positive. Example: raisins - a long happy family awaits you in a house with many children; meat - a well-fed and carefree life; jam - sweet life; apples - a life full of love, because apple is a love fruit.
Take a bite of the pie and find out what awaits you ahead! What filling does your future life have in store for you?
Offer guests cups of wine or champagne. No cups - glasses. You can tie beer mugs with twine and burlap - you get a stylized look like the Middle Ages.

The jester tells the background story of the upcoming event in order to create a mood among the guests and introduce them to the topic, moving on to the ransom. Love Story The newlyweds' Love Story can be in the form of a puppet theater or shown on the screen - a slide show of photographs.
I'll tell you a fairy tale. A long time ago,
when St. Petersburg did not yet exist,
and Lancelot was not a legend,
people, elves, dragons and others
lived in peace and harmony.
where they sell curiosities for overseas guests
and guilders count
the eyes of the two young souls crossed.
And the spark flashed!
He tamed her obstinate temper!
She decided to call him worthy.
And there was no stronger love,
than between Knight Eugene
from the kingdom of the white rose
and his ladies
Katerina -
princesses of the red rose kingdom.
Their parents blessed them and their union is wonderful.
But at that time
common people
The Serpent Gorynych did not let me live,
a Black Knight.
He planned to steal the bride,
beautiful princess Katherine.
I’m not telling you a fairy tale at all, but a true story, albeit similar to a fable.
Today, on the first day of July, in this sacred place, full of myths and legends, in the Ivangorod fortress, born in 1492 after the birth of Christ, you will become, oh noble gentlemen, participants in the most important of events! But I will keep silent about the details, and you will soon find out everything for yourself!
18:20 Knight's ransom of the bride.
The second act is sad, in which the Lady of the Heart Katerina is imprisoned, and the noble knight Eugene frees her.
The jester approaches the knight-groom, who at this time is sitting in thought and confusion:
With tears he multiplies the morning dew
And adds clouds of sighs to the clouds!
A sad knight runs away from the light!
You can expect disasters from such a precipitous situation...
Jester addressing guests:
Is the reason for this melancholy known?
What kind of grief lasts Eugene's hours?
The jester is happy to have found the answer:
-...the absence of something that could make their...hours...short!
It's because of love!
Jester showing a lady doll:
In prison is the one who is so beautiful and tender!
Oh, too beautiful and smart!
Is that why she was captured by a dragon, a monster?
No! the most terrible black knight
with my sister Anna!
The Lady of Heart is bound in vows...
Invulnerable to love arrows...
Only the one who is a bright knight,
She will be freed!
Let there be light! Fiat lux!
Music. The sister of the black knight appears, who will conduct the ransom of the bride. (Anya)
The jester comments on the appearance of his sister for everyone:
Oh beautiful witch
The black knight's sister appeared.
Jealous of the beauty in the dungeon! Dreams of getting rid of it quickly!
Yes, he is afraid of his brother - the black knight!
The sister of the black knight addresses the groom:
What a worthy knight! Are you from the kingdom of the white rose?
And are you looking for the princess of the kingdom of the red rose?
Groom Knight of the White Rose Kingdom:
Yes! Looking for! There is nothing more beautiful under the sun!
And there hasn’t been since light was created!
Sister:
Give free rein to your eyes: look carefully at other beauties!
One fire will burn the other!
Knight Groom:
Show me any beauty - in her beauty I will only read about
that sweet beauty is much higher.
If you feel dizzy,
Spin in the other direction - it will help.
Sister:
Well, since you are so hot and brave,
you love the Lady of your heart so much and
you are ready to master the path forward,
I will help you.
Ducunt volentem fata, nolentem trahunt!
What does it mean: fate leads those who want to go, but drags those who don’t want to go!
Groom-knight (these are the last “difficult” words of the groom, further in the ransom there will be his improvisation):
Let the whole world be against it!
I can stand up for myself!
Sister:
Everyone knows that knightly education involves learning to master the seven virtues. I want to test you to see if you are a real knight, if you can defeat my brother the Black Knight.
No one has canceled the seven virtues,
Another thing is that they are not modern...
Yes, a knight must swim, no doubt
But to play checkers? Even better - in the lotto!
Still a knight's hunt
For everything - my favorite leisure time,
But without squires and without servants
A knight wanders through the swamps in search of game.
Why own a spear now?
And - fencing? Is it just words...
Horse riding? For mercy's sake, you're on your own
Would you be able to handle a horse?
I was in the saddle more than once,
But the horse stubbornly chose its path:
Then he tried to turn towards the feeding trough,
Then - to the river, as if he was dying of thirst...
Here, write poetry under the window
A beautiful lady to perform roulades -
As for me! I am a knight! Serenade at night
Howling properly like a March cat!
Sister:
We'll check your ability to draw roulades, but later.
Show us how you can hunt! How accurately you hit the target! And at the same time, we will check the degree of your love for the Lady of your heart.
A dart board is placed in front of the knight, on the sectors of which the degrees of love are pasted: love for housekeeping, the braid is beautiful, sweet, I am burning with passion, I will give my life for it, I love.
Sister:
You are a marksman and a good hunter. But! The ability to fence is the true knightly virtue. Now I will test the strength and finesse of fencing... (mysterious pause)... with a sword!
To you, brave Evgeny, I suggest that you chop the head of cabbage exactly - into two halves. So that it is equal!
A rug is laid out and a head of cabbage is placed. The test “Cut exactly in half!” is carried out.
Sister:
I'm tired, please entertain me, valiant knight, play checkers and show your skills. And if you lose, you will have to swim through a deep, scary ditch, proving that you can swim.
A knight plays checkers. The sister is supposedly distracted by the jester, and she loses anyway. You can tell the groom in advance to hurry up and cheat. It's all in jest.
Sister:
As far as I can see, you are lucky and smart. So be it, I won’t demand you to swim.
But you cannot escape the next test. Just as a legless horse could not carry a knight, so a knight devoid of love could not bear the burden that his noble heart shouldered for the glory of knighthood. Love will help you compose a heart song for your beloved.
Sing a serenade under the window of the beautiful Katerina! And we'll see if she reciprocates your feelings!
The knight performs a serenade. Friends can help him. The lady of the heart, hearing him, throws a flower from the window to cheer up the groom. During the serenade, the bride goes out onto the balcony, throwing a rose from the balcony as a sign of love. Remains on the balcony and “cheers” for the knight in battle. The world's longest veil hangs beautifully from the balcony.
Sister:
If you wield the pen, wield the sword! There are only two tests left for you to pass out of seven. Owning a horse and how you wield a spear! (option: How do you stay in the saddle and how do you wield a spear!)
Horse ownership is tested in the form of a comic game. The groom is shown a poster on which a horse is drawn, but without a tail and ears. The groom is blindfolded and asked to reattach his tail and ears. The tail is made of ropes or yarn, with a bow, a la Eeyore. Ears made of colored paper. Everything is on double tape.
Mastery of a spear is tested in a battle with a black knight. The battle is comic: each person gets 3-4 balls. Whoever has more balls left after the battle is the winner. The black knight gives in.
The jester comments on the battle:
Do you wish to start a quarrel, sir? (black Knight)
A quarrel, sir? Oh no, sir! I'll just ground you immediately! (groom)
Oh, I'm afraid, I'm afraid! (black Knight)
Sheathe your sword, do not disgrace yourself! You fight like cowardly servants! (groom)
I recognize your superiority... (black knight)
Veni, vidi vici...
I came, I saw, I conquered!
Vivat love!
While the fight continued between them,
People started running from everywhere...
And the black knight was defeated here!
Audaces fortuna juvat!
Fate helps the brave!
The queen of the red rose has appeared,
worthy and wise lady,
mother of the Lady of the Heart, by the way!
The knight's cloak was immediately handed over by her hand!
The queen of the kingdom of the red rose (mother of the bride) puts a cloak on the knight, the knight stands on one knee:
My daughter is my only heir.
You captivated her heart.
In her agreement
mine is only a part,
I put the decision in her hands.
You are equal in merit to each other.
Only piety is in your hand.
You, noble sir,
I dedicate both the groom and the valiant knight.
And the one who holds the helm of your destiny,
Let your sail set to good luck!
And remember: Omnia vincit amor!
Love conquers everything!
Take a pair of Cupid's wings,
Fly them into the dungeon!
It's been languishing there for a long time
Your flower, princess, lady of the heart!
Touch my hand in blessing!
The queen offers her hand to the knight.
The groom enters the bride's dungeon. He gets down on his knee and kisses her hand. Gives a bouquet. She gives him her scarf with embroidered initials.
The groom carries the bride out of prison in his arms.
To the fanfare, general shouts of joy and shouts of “Vivat!”
Joke about the bride:
She outshone the rays of the torches!
Her beauty shines in the night,
Like incomparable pearls in the Moor's ear!
We hasten to sanctify this union!
Where is the monk?
The wedding procession and the young couple go to the place where the union is consecrated by a monk. Children carry a long veil and bundles of wheat ears - a symbol of fertility.
The Jester comments:
Oh, this is the longest veil in the world!
The length of the veil is 180 feet - which means -
A long and sweet life awaits the lovers!
19:10 On-site stylized registration.
The third blessed act, in which the Union of the Noble Knight of the White Rose and His Lady of the Heart - the Princess of the Red Rose, will be consecrated.
I propose to immediately place the family coats of arms in the place where the consecration of the union will take place. And then use it in a scene that replaces the rite of lighting a home.
In this scene: “By the way, my remark, when we enter the fortress after the ransom to the monk for the wedding ceremony - everyone should kneel on one knee in a bow... and the ladies should curtsy J)) So I’ll laugh”
If possible, it would be nice to have someone play the role of chronicler. On the table there is a stack of books and a “chronicler” sign. He writes something with a pen all the time. From time to time, the jester allegedly snatches a piece of paper from the chronicler’s pen and reads it out - this will give the jester the opportunity not to learn the text and accompany the action with beautiful “medieval” ballads.
My children, we have gathered to unite you in a holy ceremony. In the face of the Almighty, I ask you to answer: is this ritual performed by mutual agreement? In the presence of witnesses, your parents, relatives and friends, I ask you to answer, Sir Knight (groom), is your decision thoughtful, are you ready to become a faithful husband to your beloved (bride Olga) both in sorrow and in joy, in wealth and in poverty, are you ready to sacrifice genius and fame for the happiness of your wife?
Knight Groom:
In the presence of witnesses, your parents, relatives and friends, I ask you to answer, noble Signora Olga, is your decision thoughtful, are you ready to become a faithful wife to the valiant sir knight both in sorrow and in joy, in wealth and in poverty, are you ready sacrifice everything for the happiness of your spouse?
Lady of the heart-bride:
The sacred bonds of marriage cannot be concluded thoughtlessly, through thoughtlessness or recklessness.
But reverently, consciously, with an open heart and in the fear of the Lord.
Therefore, if anyone knows the reasons why this valiant knight and his beloved cannot enter into legal marriage, let him speak now Pro et contra “pros and cons” or never speak. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat. Qui tacet - consentire videtur. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Whoever remains silent is considered to have agreed.
Lord, all-merciful and glorious, who contains all that exists within himself: in Your mercy and favor this love originates! May you sanctify this union with your mercy!
In the presence of witnesses, exchange sacred vows!
The bride and groom read out their newlyweds' vows and exchange them.
Text of the oath for the bride and groom.
Knight Groom:
I swear, the riches of the entire Holy Land
The charms of your eyes cannot outshine.
I swear the sound of a lute is rougher for me
Your love is like two wings
carries me towards happiness.
I swear to love and respect
Take part in home life.
I promise to make your dreams come true
everyone make an effort.
I swear to be honest with you,
create an idyll in your soul.
I swear to be with you as a part,
like half of a whole.
I strive to be worthy of you,
I love you with all my heart, with all my soul!
Lady of the heart-bride:
Your love is a heavenly gift.
Fire igniting scrap.
A falcon takes prey in flight.
I give myself into your power.
I swear to love and respect
I will not give in to flattering admonitions,
I promise to trust YOU sacredly!
You best friend, mentor and lover,
You are the best defense!
I will try to be worthy of you,
Be an honest, kind, forgiving wife.
I swear! I love you with all my heart, with all my soul!
Seal the words with rings and a kiss.
While exchanging rings, the young couple says:
By putting on this ring, a symbol of love and fidelity, I take you to be my wife/husband, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
With the words “Father” we put the ring on thumb hands, "Son" - on forefinger, “Holy Spirit” - on the middle finger, with the words “Amen” - on the ring finger.
After consecrating the union, the monk invites the young couple to wash their fingertips in a bowl of wine:
In vino veritas. The truth is in the wine! Cleanse your soul - wash your fingertips in this holy cup
and the mercy of the Lord be with you.
Urbi et orbi
"To the city and the world"
to the whole world,
to everyone and everyone
in the face of the Almighty
I pronounce this couple husband and wife.
Noble knights and beautiful ladies,
you have witnessed the union of two loving hearts.
Ab ovo usque ad mala - from beginning to end!
In this scene, wine is presented to the guests, either only to the newlyweds from iron goblets or from a unicorn horn shared between two (take your pick).
If it will be long veil(as an option 180 feet), then a ceremony is performed: the groom locks the Magic Veil (veil) in the chest. He hangs the key to the chest around his neck so that he can always carry it with him as a symbol of the bride’s purity, obedience and fidelity.
All actions are commented by the jester so that the guests understand the ritual:
Sir knight, you are united by holy rites to this lady. Take off her veil - pre-marital attire, close it in a chest and hang the key around your neck to always carry with you, as a sign of the bride’s purity, obedience and fidelity.
It's time for feasting and fun! Edite, bibite et ridite! Eat, drink, laugh!
Panem et circenses! Meal'n'Real! Now they will serve us wine and sweets!
19:40 start of the banquet.
The fourth act is solemn, in which everyone is invited to the feast to raise their cups of wine for a new union.
Let us raise these cups of ancient drink to laying a crown on the heads of lovers! Ergo bibamus. So, let's have a drink!
Guests are given a short time to refresh themselves.
The time has come to perform the ritual - to begin the family business first: hand to hand, cheek to cheek, heart to heart.
Water is the basis of all foundations. Prepare a jug for spring water so that you can quench your thirst.
The first family affair: the newlyweds make a clay pot for spring water. Instead of clay, in order to avoid getting so dirty, you can use a regular clay pot, and you can paint it with paints. Maybe in Latin.
I wish you moderate love and your feeling will last long.
He who hurries too much is late, just like he who hesitates.
And remember, love is richer in deeds than in words:
He is proud of the essence, not of decoration.
20:00 Knight's tournament at the wedding.
The fifth valiant act, in which I announce the Knight's Tournament.
Music sounds: a bugle, a lute, a hunting horn - all associations with knights.
In honor of Beautiful lady Katerina and her husband Noble Sir Knight Eugene, we announce a knightly tournament. Let our knights fight in honor of love, let them meet in a fair fight.
The battle will begin after the approval of the Beautiful Katerina and the wave of her white scarf.
A real contact battle of knights (show).
The jester reads out one of the letters that are given to male guests (the knight's oath):
The purpose of man is to preserve and increase the glory given to him by the Lord.
Now I call upon the knights to fulfill their oath.
Text of the knights' oath:
O most holy Lord, Almighty Father, You allowed the sword to be used on earth to curb the anger of bad people and uphold justice; to protect the people, You wished to create an order of chivalry, inclining their hearts to goodness; Make sure that Your servant, the Knight, never uses this or another sword with the aim of inflicting an unjust offense on a person, but so that it always serves to defend justice and right!
Having received an honorary knighthood, you take on the burden of knighthood, but reward yourself with the greatest happiness of a man - to protect, for which your name will be glorified for centuries.
And now, you can show your knightly strength in competitions.
Competitions between guest knights at specially equipped stands are interspersed with performances by real knights (in the form of contact combat). Two Vogts will oversee all this, they will administer justice and make their noble decisions. Relatives of the bride and groom are appointed as fogts. They are given some kind of distinctive sign - red scarves, for example. During competitions, the Vogts approve of someone, support someone: tense up, hold on, stronger, higher!
The executors of justice, the Vogts, today at our knightly tournament are royalty: King of the White Rose Kingdom and King of the Red Rose Kingdom. They have red scarves and the right to decide who has distinguished themselves.
If the knightly competition tires the guests, you can immediately move on to the next action.
Our knightly tournament is over.
The Vogts give their verdict.
All knights deserve awards - signs of admiration and honors from the ladies!
Let us fill our cups to the brim and raise them for the knights of our glorious city!
22:00 Family coat of arms.
The sixth heraldic action, in which the coat of arms of the new union of the kingdoms of the white and red rose - the new family - the house of Eugene and Katerina, is consecrated.
Before us are two families who have united today in this young couple.
And two family coats of arms are in front of us:
The coat of arms of the kingdom of the white rose tells us about the purity of all thoughts and the nobility of the ancestors who fought for freedom.
The coat of arms of the kingdom of the red rose tells us about distant travels, about the courage and generosity of all generations.
The coat of arms of the White Rose Kingdom (the groom's parents) depicts:
A white rose is purity of thoughts, red is a symbol of belonging to the royal family, silver is nobility, wings are related to airplanes and good thoughts.
The coat of arms of the kingdom of the red rose (the bride's parents) depicts:
A red rose is courage, red is a symbol of royalty, gold is generosity, a ship is related to travel and achieving goals.
Coats of arms can be painted on fabric.
The union of two kingdoms gives birth to new house, family, a new branch in the tree. What coat of arms should they choose to reflect their thoughts, their past and the future life of the family? I ask the guest to help me in this matter. Who will volunteer to help create this coat of arms for a young family? The one whose coat of arms is declared to be a family one will receive a special royal reward!
Here are all the materials to help you create a coat of arms. You must compose a coat of arms and a motto for it.
While guest volunteers create family coat of arms newlyweds, music plays, and the jester reads out the text.
The family coat of arms shows the past, talks about the present and predicts the future, because from the coat of arms you can learn about the values of the family, its priorities in life, which were respected at all times of the family’s existence. Before our eyes, today the union of two noble souls, full of bold plans and bright dreams of a wonderful future, was consecrated. He is a valiant Knight, a man of duty and word. She is beautiful and smart.
What lies ahead for them? Joys and sorrows, pleasure and suffering, courage and fear, because in love, as in hatred, a wide variety of feelings can be combined! But happiness awaits them only because home, warmed by the warmth of a loved one, makes a person invulnerable!
22:30 Dance break.
The seventh act is cheerful, in which the feast continues for the whole world and the ball opens. The ball opens with the first dance of the loving couple Beautiful Katerina and Sir Knight Eugene.
The newlyweds dance their first dance.
Afterwards, the jester invites us to continue the ball:
Wonderful dance! You, the guests, are welcome to dance here too.
And let those ladies whose feet do not suffer from calluses, dance with us!
I'm ready to swear that whoever starts to pretentiously has calluses!
Just kidding!
Play musicians!
Noble gentlemen, whisper compliments
In the ear of your lords!
Stay in the desired haven of bliss!
Dancing can be alternated with entertainment and competitions (to choose from).
Scythe.
There is a medieval test for women - to braid a beautiful braid. Who has the longer and more beautiful one! The scythe is a means of getting out of the tower. Therefore, the test will not be for beautiful, gentle hands, but for valiant knights! You can use all available means! The winner is the one with the longest braid.
To ensure the success of this competition in advance, you can initially decorate the feast with multi-colored ribbons, use cloth napkins, and the Jester can walk around during the competition with a bag of ropes and offer to exchange it for some personal item. The items are then returned to their owners. Personal items are then drawn at random from the bag and participate, for example, in a game of forfeits or the owner of the item participates in a competition announced below.
The bravest knight.
Test of courage - 5 cups of vodka in one, water in the rest. Knights test their courage and luck! The knight needs to drink one of the cups to the bottom, and to do this, let them guess which cup contains water. The joke is that all the cups contain water. The jester explains that the fire water caster messed up - he turned the vodka into water!
Minstrel competition.
The knights need to compose a ballad in honor of the beautiful lady.
But the ballad is not simple; it must contain the words:
Road
Tears
Anxiety
Roses
While the melody is playing, the knights compose a ballad.
Game "Salty Flood".
There are many witches living in our lands, I heard that one can bring such a curse that if you cry, a whole flood can happen! Therefore, I would like to wish the guests never to shed a tear!
Well, the guests will now go through training in case someone cries with happiness and accidentally creates a salty flood.
Those who wish are given 2 pieces of paper and pencils.
Write on 1 piece of paper which one item from your home you would take in case of a flood.
On another piece of paper write why.
And treat the game with humor, we are in a Fairytale Castle! And here you don’t need to save documents and money!
Music plays, pieces of paper are collected in 2 different boxes and mixed, then they read out: the thing and the reason. This game is usually a lot of fun for the guests.
Knight's calendar.
Today we all attended the important ceremony of consecration of the Union of the Noble Knight Eugene and the Beautiful Princess Katerina! They are facing the first most difficult year. And true loyal subjects and friends always support Hard time! Am I saying this correctly?
Let's help the lovers and contribute to their family treasury!
This Magic Hat contains 12 calendar sheets for the coming year. Every month is an extremely important assignment; by completing all the assignments, we will be able to help the Knight and Lady of his heart make their first year cloudless and fabulously wonderful. Who wants to pull assignments out of a hat?
In the hat, there are cards stylized as calendar leaves, on which the month is indicated and the order is described, and the name of the guest who pulled out the note is also written there. The guest is given a piece of paper that he pulled out - so that he does not forget the assignment and the month.
June - wash the family carriage;
July - arrange a romantic Royal dinner in honor of the wedding anniversary;
August - after the honeymoon, the young couple regain their strength with roe deer on a spit (kebab);
September - to explore all the new possessions of the Knight and the Lady of his heart, ride them on the Giant Wonder Wheel in the amusement park;
October - organize a Bavarian Oktoberfst reception in honor of the newlyweds;
November - add warmth and romance to this cold month - drink some Mulled wine by the fireplace;
December - add fire and celebration to your relationship - decorate a Christmas tree with burning garlands in the castle;
January - to instill love for healthy image life, give the Knight and his Lady a sleigh ride;
February - add emotions to your everyday life - watch the film “Romeo and Juliet”;
March - to make the life of the Knight and his Lady of the Heart brighter - wash the windows in the castle;
April - deal with a serious issue - organize a joint vacation for the Knight and his Lady of the Heart - in advance, so as not to run around looking for last-minute travel packages;
May - protect them from everyday problems: organize a general cleaning of their Castle;
Next, the Jester suggests putting wine in an oak barrel so that it matures and becomes enriched along with the married life of the newlyweds. The bride and groom solemnly seal a vessel with wine (symbolically sealing wax or something similar over the lid), promising to treat everyone to it on their wedding anniversary.
Medieval dances, although simple, will be interesting if the jester plays a prank on the dance teacher and shows some unusual movements.
23:30 Jester:
The eighth act is fortune-telling, in which we will find out on whom else the wedding crown will be placed soon.
Throwing the bride's bouquet.
According to tradition, a bouquet ceremony takes place at our ball. Princess Katherine throws her bouquet, whoever catches it will soon marry a real knight! But today is a special day and one of the chosen ones is given a magical chance to influence her destiny. Citius, altius, fortius! Faster, higher, stronger!
A relay race is held: who is faster, higher, stronger. Faster - whoever touches the bride first. Taller - who will quickly choose the tallest man from among the guests. Stronger - who can name the most strong feeling, the majority will call Love, then everything is solved with the help of: “rock, scissors, paper.” Based on the results of the relay, the girls take places - the winner will stand closest to the bride and catch the bouquet, therefore, she will have more chances!
What is the happiness of love - in possession?
No, the happiness of love is the joy of desire,
Wishing him and her happiness...
Let us raise our cups of wine to this!
The king of bachelors' choice is the garter toss.
And, again, observing our traditions, today we choose the King of Bachelors, since our Knight Eugene left the ranks of the bachelors. And he will prove this to us by throwing Her Highness’s garter.
(The king of bachelors gets a paper crown and a scepter in the form of a bath broom).
Three times “Vivat!” to the newly-crowned king of bachelors!
Noble knight of the kingdom of the white rose, love every moment and speak of love to your Lady of the heart. Decies repetita placebit - because even if repeated ten times you will like it!
