Examples of parents' speech when meeting newlyweds with a loaf
After the marriage ceremony in the registry office, before a solemn feast, it is customary to greet the young with "bread and salt", that is, a wedding loaf laid on an embroidered towel, which is carried by the groom's mother and an icon in the hands of the father.
This ritual is accompanied by many beliefs and traditions that must be followed by both the newlyweds and their parents.
One of these traditions is the obligatory speech of parents.
To meet the young couple with a wedding loaf, it is necessary to prepare a short speech for 3 - 5 minutes, but no more than 7 minutes, since the young spouses and their guests, returning from the walk, will most likely want to relax a little and enjoy the delicacies prepared for the wedding feast as soon as possible.
A long speech can be made towards the middle of the meal.
Several warm words, coming from the heart of parents, often looks better than memorized speech, and not all parents are able to memorize congratulatory words, for example, in poetry. If parents have fears that all the words will be forgotten from excitement, they can write them down on a paper card and keep somewhere nearby. Even the most simple words"Bless", "congratulations" and "advice and love" sometimes sound better than long and florid speeches.
PARENTS SPEECH OPTIONS WHEN YOU MEET WITH A CARAVAI AT A WEDDING
When parents meet newlyweds, they bless new family, and the groom's mother brings the loaf to the wedding, saying: “Dear children! Please accept this wedding loaf from us with the wishes of your family strong love, prosperity and prosperity. "
Then the rest of the parents make a short speech: "We sincerely congratulate you on the birth of a new family and wish you ...." or “I believe that after many years of living together, warmth and tenderness for each other will remain in your hearts, like the warmth of this beautiful loaf, your table will be richly set, and your house will be filled happy laugh your children. May you live happily ever after!".
Words of this kind will also be useful: “Dear children! We wish you happiness and bless you for a long and happy life... May you live happily ever after!"
Parents can also say that their daughter-in-law has become their beloved daughter, and their son-in-law has become their son, for example: "We are very happy that, in addition to a beautiful son, we now have a beautiful daughter."
Parents' speech should be simple and understandable to all guests, so you should not tell funny stories from the life of the young. Avoid making jokes that may be unpleasant to young people or their guests and can ruin festive mood... After giving the speech, the guests should have a feeling of a friendly and comfortable atmosphere for them.
If parents have doubts about whether the prepared speech is correct, it is worth reading it to someone outsider who can assess whether the speech contains phrases that can be understood in two ways and whether the speech is worthy of a wedding celebration.
As a rule, if parents prepare in advance for delivering a speech, the speech turns out to be much more beautiful and interesting. Preparation will build confidence and avoid mistakes. You can also practice facial expressions and gestures that will be used while delivering a speech. By repeating the speech prepared for the moment when the wedding loaf will be delivered, parents can remember something important that they would like to say to the young.
When all the parting words and wishes have been said, the toastmaster, on behalf of the young, invites guests to the wedding table.
What words can parents find to bless the newlyweds?
By tradition, the groom's mother meets the newlyweds on the doorstep of the restaurant with a loaf on a towel, the other parents are nearby, the bride's mother or father can hold glasses with a drink (champagne or just mineral water) on a tray.
Words when meeting the groom's mother(Several variants):
1. My dear children, I sincerely congratulate you on the beginning of a new path in your life. And on the threshold of this happy beginning, I present you with the main symbol of prosperity and well-being in everything earthly - a wedding loaf. I want your hearts to retain the warmth that this loaf kept for you. May your house always be full of guests and everyone will get at least one small piece treats. Advice to you and love!
2. Our lovely kids! Today is your wedding day. We would like to sincerely congratulate you on this event. We had a son, and now, we are doubly happy, having such a beautiful daughter. Your union for us is just great happiness. First of all, we are, of course, happy for our son, who has found such a life friend for himself. But his girlfriend has become our daughter today, and her happiness is just as important to us. We ask you to keep your hearts warm until the end. Advice to you and love!
3.
The warmth of my congratulations
Shower now.
Advice and guidance
Listen to us.
May your house always sparkle
Coziness and warmth.
May joy warm you
With your saint soul!
Good journey to you!
Advice to you and love!
For the mother of the bride(the mother of the bride is not obliged to say welcoming words to the newlyweds, but if there is a desire, then, of course, it is possible):
1. Our lovely children! In this exciting hour, we sincerely congratulate you on this. wonderful holiday! Guiding you to family life, we wish you to always love each other, keep love, strengthen love. Our dear daughter, keep your family hearth like the apple of your eye, let your house have comfort and order, let it smell deliciously of pies in your kitchen, be your spouse a real friend and life companion!

Happiness and love to you, dear children!
2. I would like to congratulate you on your wedding.
Keep what you purchased warm.
And do your best
So as not to waste everything that you have found.
Live peacefully, amicably, justly,
So that trouble could not sneak up on you.
So that life is fun and beautiful.
Do not part, children, never.
3. I want to throw flowers at your feet,
So that the road was covered with them.
So that innermost dreams come true,
You ask God for blessings.
I will shower the family with congratulations,
Which is a little over an hour old.
I will sprinkle you with holy water,
I will bless, so that with a margin.
I hasten to congratulate you with all my heart,
After all, the marriage was combined.
All the congratulations in the world are good
I give them to you with all my efforts.
Young people break off a piece, dip this piece in salt, feed each other, wash down with a drink and break glasses for good luck, throwing them at the same time right hand over the left shoulder. The guests form a living corridor through which the young go to their places of honor.
If you choose poetry, try to memorize it. Reading from a sheet of paper with excitement means stuttering and stammering, riveting your eyes to the leaf, and at this moment it is important to look at the young, and the speech should be gentle and friendly.
The tradition of welcoming newlyweds with bread and salt came to us from ancient times, when salt was still a sign of wealth, and bread was baked in every house different: where sieve, where grain. The mother-in-law, meeting her daughter-in-law on the doorstep, invited her to try THAT BREAD, which she now had to eat all her life in her husband's family. And if she presented the most precious thing - bread and salt, which used to be worth its weight in gold, then she gave the go-ahead for marriage!
Another controversial point that I would like to mention: should the loaf be given to guests or only young people can eat it?
The answer must also be sought in the roots of tradition. The fact is that earlier, and even now, Ukrainian festive loaves were baked in three-tiered ones, decorated with sugar glaze and dough flowers. The analogy with a wedding cake immediately comes to mind, doesn't it? So, the young people left the upper tier for themselves and their parents. And part of it was supposed to be wrapped in a clean rag and kept forever. Close relatives were treated to the middle tier. And the bottom, the largest, was handed out to guests. To leave the wedding without a piece of loaf is to offend the newlyweds.
Now decide for yourself what to do with the loaf.
In preparation for the wedding, the topic of the newlyweds is often raised, to help parents prepare a solemn speech for blessing and congratulations.
It is the parents see off their children v marriage registry or church and say parting words parent blessings on happy marriage.
It is usually pronounced on the doorstep of the bride's house after the ceremony of redemption, since the threshold, according to the old tradition, symbolizes the beginning of the road - a new road to family life. In order for it to be successful, you must at the very beginning wish you good and happiness.
Example parting words houses with an icon:
Dear ___________ (name of the groom) and _____________ (name of the bride), on this solemn day before God and people, we bless you for a happy marriage, for a long family life. And we give you our parental order: live, live - make good! Peace and joy to you!
An example of a parting word at home with icon number 2:
Lovely children, admonishing you in new life, we wish you love, happiness, family well-being.
Live in the name of goodness and love.
We bless you for a happy marriage, for a strong family!
Live happily and amicably
Have everything you need in life!

Tell me, what will we judge by the size of the broken pieces? Who in the family loves to eat the most? - (waiting for a response from the newlyweds and guests) - Right! Who will be the head of the newly made family!

For a long time in Russia there was a tradition, according to which it was customary to meet young people with bread and salt. Parents did it. Now this custom has been transformed. Previously, it had a different form.
After the wedding, the newlyweds were supposed to go to the groom's parents for permanent residence. And already there, the mother of the betrothed with the sisters and father met the young family, presenting them with a loaf. Thus they wished for a good life, which would be much better than theirs.
The customs of meeting young people with a loaf
Nowadays, the tradition of greeting with bread with salt has changed. No one lives with their parents anymore and weddings are not held at home. It is important to note that this custom is so popular with newlyweds that it is still exists even at modern weddings.
Mom meets the newlyweds in a cafe or restaurant. She is the very first with a loaf at the doorstep. The task of the young spouses is to break off several pieces from the loaf. The one who will have the largest piece, and will be the main one in the house. And the partner who has a small piece will obey.
On the one hand, by rejecting certain ones, you can lose the originality of the wedding celebration. On the other hand, it is convenience and comfort. Mom and Dad do not need to go home immediately after the wedding party. Of course, all this simplifies the organization of the wedding ceremony.
In addition, think that not only young people come to the house of the groom's parents, but the entire wedding procession. And as usual, according to hospitable traditions, they need to be fed and treated with champagne. If you remove this part, then you can save cash and present them to a young married couple.
Before carrying out the bread and salt ceremony, parents should prepare and purchase in advance:
It used to be customary to bake a loaf on your own. Nowadays, almost no one does it. Basically, everything is ordered from the bakery. After the wedding, many families wonder what to do with the loaf.
There are several options for this question:
Which option to choose has already to be decided by the groom's parents, since it is they who will prepare the loaf for wedding ceremony... Basically, everything is given to the newlyweds. This is a delicious bread with sweet notes. Therefore, the next day you can eat it with pleasure with tea.
In addition to the loaf itself, it is worth taking care of the towel. It is a towel embroidered in the Russian-folk style.
Please note that the ritual with a loaf is called "bread and salt". Therefore, there is no way to do in this custom without salt itself. Special bread is baked with a deepening, it is done in the middle. This is where the salt shaker is carefully inserted. Young people pinch off a piece of bread and dip it in salt.
Before performing the bread and salt ceremony, parents should bless the young. For this, an icon is taken with him and a special prayer is read.
Often the ritual of the loaf is carried out by the toastmaster, but she is engaged in the organization itself. Her duties include meeting the young, arranging the rest of the guests, ask the photographer to organize the shooting.
And the parents themselves must conduct the ceremony itself. It is their words of love and support that their children who have just got married are waiting for.
Congratulations words
The loaf, as a rule, is held by the mother. This is due to the fact that a woman is considered the main one in the house for coziness, comfort and food. She cooks, cleans and brings up children. A huge responsibility falls to her share. Therefore, she must keep a delicious loaf and treat them to the young.
At the same time, the father does not stand idle. He has a tray of drinks in his hands. After the spouses bite off the loaf, they are invited to drink from the jug. It is prepared in advance and serves to seal the union. 
From the groom's parents
Mom, before going out in front of the loaf with an icon and asks the bride and groom to kiss the shrine.
She says a prayer and asks God to make the life of her children as beautiful and harmonious as possible.
From the bride's parents
During the ceremony, bread and salt is pronounced not only by the parents of the groom, but also by the mother of the bride.
Poems for a meeting of the newlyweds
If you want to look original when meeting a young married couple, then you can prepare a few simple ones for them. They shouldn't have complex rhymes.
Make them as light and simple as possible.
Parents meet young people.
Conclusion
Bread and salt for a wedding is a beautiful tradition that can be safely called primordially Russian. Many have pleasant memories and impressions after the event. Feel free to use this custom at your celebration.
In addition, her parents are mainly involved in her preparation. Their task is to buy a loaf and a towel. Of course, at such a moment you cannot do without touching words prepared in advance.
