Marriage tradition in Russia

Vyкуп Nevesty is a funny Tradition in my Culture! Before the ceremony, the groom arrives at the bride's home to pick her up, but her bridesmaids and family block the entrance. To reach her, he has to complete a series of funny challenges like singing, solving riddles about his bride, or giving compliments on every step of the staircase. If he fails a test, he has to "buy" his way through with money, sweets, or else!
