Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. May we have your attention please?

We are about to
begin our Dinner Reception so please find a seat and make yourself comfortable.
Let us begin this celebration with a prayer to be led by. Let us all stand, bow down our heads
and put ourselves in the presence of God. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, Amen.
Opening Prayer by Roselyn Cruz Udtohan
Heavenly Father,
Love has been your richest and greatest gift to this world.
Love between a man and a woman which matures into marriage.
Today, we celebrate that love.
Lord for the joy of this occasion, we thank You.
For Your presence here and now and at all times, we thank You.
Protect, guide, and bless Aaron and Richelle and everyone present here.
Surround us with Your love now and always.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Welcome Address
A pleasant evening to everyone! Welcome to the celebration of one of the Leo and Atcha’s
Greatest Day Ever. This place (Balwarte de San Diego, Intramuros) is indeed a fitting setting
for our newlyweds as we mark the beginning of their life together. So sit, down, enjoy the cool
breeze, and enjoy the rest of the evening.
I am Anne, and I am Tonie your host for the night. We thank you all for gracing this occasion,
especially those who took a leave of absence from work, (meron ba? Long weekend kaya?)
and those who have traveled miles just to be with us today. In behalf of Leo and Atcha, and
their proud parents, we would like to express heartfelt gratitude for your presence tonight. It is
indeed a pleasure to have you all here.

Family and Friends
A wedding brings two people and their families together. It refreshes the family ties and

AVP TO BE SHOWN, SONG PERFORMANCES (umagang kay ganda, kae song number)

TRADITION: DOVE-RELEASING
Doves, they say, are a symbol of true love. The white dove chooses its mate for life. They
symbolize fidelity, true love, new beginnings and of course, peach and serenity (COUNT 1,2,3).

TRADITION: CAKE SLICING

May I request (Groom) and (Bride) a to prepare for the cake slicing ceremony. The cake, which
has been a part of wedding celebrations since the Roman times, is a symbol of good luck and
fertility. The sharing of this food symbolizes the couples’ willingness to fulfill each other’s needs,
creating a bond so simple yet so strong.

TRADITION: WINE-TOASTING
I would like to call (Name), the best man. He is the younger brother of (Groom) and is very
close to him. Wine toasting is a symbol of us wishing the couple of good fortune and better future
and the best life possible for them.
