SPONSORS. Let’s me introduce them one by one… starting off with the ninang…

Now let’s proceed with the godfathers: (alamin sino ang may proxy)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARENTS
One of the parents’ dreams is to see the wedding of their children. I am sure our
couple’s parents are equally excited as them. Let us now recognize these very special
people in the hearts of the newly wed.

Nico’s parents: Mrs. Salvacion S. Sacriz and the late Rodel T. Sacriz. We may not see
him here but we are very sure that he is with us in spirit especially that his first born
created a lifetime commitment today.
Michelle’s parents: Mrs. Lolita M. Paway and Mr. Edwin M. Paway.

ENTRANCE OF THE COUPLE

And now the big moment, Ladies and Gentleman, our bride and groom Michelle and
Nico! Doesn’t she look beautiful? She’s been practicing her bouquet-throwing and
hopes to give a good account of herself when the moment comes. As for the groom,
look at him! Machong macho as always. Ladies and Gentleman, a big hand for Nico
and Michelle. (wide applause)
Thank you very much…let’s all be seated now. Truly, this event will be a celebration
of love… a feast of two hearts who vowed to stay forever no matter what…

OPENING PRAYER
To officially start our program, let us all stand, bow our heads and say a short prayer
for the newlywed as we play to the song The Marriage Prayer.
Father, you have made the bond of marriage a holy mystery,
a symbol of Christ's love for his Church.
Hear our prayers for Nico and Michelle
With faith in you and in each other they pledge their love today.
May their lives always bear witness to the reality of that love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Pictorial / Buffet Dinner

Well I guess the food is now ready and dinner will commence shortly. At this point to
maintain order, I’ll be calling your table number and the people from that table will
be going to the location of the couple for pictorial. Right after that they can now
proceed and line up at the buffet counter to get their dinner.

(get the personalities in each table)

We would like to thank the __________________ Restaurant, for the wonderful

accommodation and service that they are providing us here. The newlyweds would
also like to say a special thank you for supervising in the physical arrangement of our
reception.

CAKE CUTTING
At this point, I hope every ones attention is in the couple as they do the cake cutting
tradition. Bakit, may ganitong eksena pag may kasal? Well, ayon sa aking research,
the cake cutting symbolizes the couple's unity, their shared future, and their life
together as one.

DOVE KISSING TRADITION

This time let’s see them hold those two doves; please take them out of the cage.
Then, they will make those lovely dove kiss each other. PICTURE!!!

White doves are a symbol of joy, and since a wedding is a joyous occasion, opening
the bird's cage so that they can fly freely, or using photos of doves in the day's decor
is definitely appropriate. Superstition also suggests that couples who see a pair of
doves on their wedding day will have a blessed marriage, which is a wonderful
sentiment for the new couple to keep in mind when starting a new life together.

WINE TOAST
This time, let’s fill our glasses with any drink that we could get and join the best man,
Craig Sacriz for the symbolic wine toast.

Para sa mahabang pagsasama puno nang pagmamahalan, paguunawaan at

pagbibigayan, Michelle at Nico maligayang bati at KAMPAY!!! Cheers everyone!

BOUQUET CEREMONY
Now all the single ladies please come on down. Let’s do the bouquet game! Sabi ko
sa inyo kanina, hindi ito yung simpleng flower toss, kaya mas exciting. Ngayung
nandito na kayong lahat, kukuha kayo ng flower stems from the bride. Sige pumili
kayo. Ang hindi kumuha uupo diyan sa hotseat! Hehe

At this point, after you chose your flower stems, listen carefully, here’s the catch.
The lady with the longest stem is the chosen one! Sino ang maswerteng babae?

GARTER GAME
Let’s call on this time all the gentlemen! Sige po punta kayo sa unahan. Now, I have
here, bottles of beer. Masusubukan kung sino ang malakas uminom. Hehe, in two
minutes time, paunahan kayong maubos o ma-consume yang mga beer ninyo. One,
two, three. Ok, sinong unang naubos. Palakpakan. Sino ang konti lang ang
naconsume? Ikaw, ang maswerteng good boy!
Before we go on with the Garter Toss, the groom is to retrieve the garter from his
bride. So may we request Nico and Michelle to please come center stage and do the
garter retrieval ritual. Thanks guys.
(A chair is brought onstage for the bride to sit. while groom kneels down at the
bride's feet ready to retrieve the garter)
Ladies and gentleman the groom will now retrieve the garter from the bride.
(Groom retrieves the garter from the bride.)
There you have it ladies and gentlemen; the groom was finally able to retrieve the
garter. Let us give him a big hand.

PUTTING THE GARTER ON THE LADY’S LEG.

Alright, let’s have the pair here. Lady, kindly take your seat. Gentleman, you are now
going to put the garter on her legs.

( Higher, higher- then kiss is requested )

( Pictorial with Couple )

SPEECHES
Now, before we end. Let’s hear some well-wishers give their message to newly wed.
