Thank You all for your generosity that will indeed go a long

Alright, so let’s move on to our next stop. A wedding is not

complete without traditions. The first one must be the
cutting of the wedding cake.
******
Cutting of Cake
May I request Albert and Geraldine to prepare for the
cake ceremony. The cake, which has been a part of
wedding celebrations since the Roman times, it is a
symbol of good luck and fertility. The sharing of this food
symbolizes the couple’s willingness to fulfill each other’s
needs, creating a bond so simple and yet so strong.
****
Wine Toast
Our next tradition is the wine tossing. Raising a glass
together is a way for everyone to share in wishing good
health and happiness to the newlyweds. As the wine is
poured, our newlyweds now make wishes for their good
fortune, a better future and the best life possible for them.
Let’s join them in their fervent wishes through good
fellowship and camaraderie, love and happiness.
*****
Prayer
it is said that a successful marriage involves three hearts
becoming one. The Hearts of the husband, the wife, and
God at the center. So let us give thanks to the one who
made this all possible, the author of life, love and
relationships. Our God.

To lead us into prayer and to say Grace before Meal, Let

me call on Ms. Erica Cid.

(Bless us oh Lord. In this thy gift which we are about to

receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord. Amen.)

Tossing of the Bouquet or Bouquet Throw

At this time, may I request all the single ladies to please

come over for the bouquet throw. We would also like to
request the bride to come forward and take her place at
the center.
Ok so ladies, take your place behind the bride and be
prepared to pull the ribbon that has the bouquet. It is said
that whoever will get the bouquet will soon to be the next
bride.
Alright. Everything is fine. Audience, may I request you to
join me in counting okay.. Ready, 321 and Go!

bouquet to please come forward and join me here.

Congratulations and may I have your name please? Ok so

let’s give a big hand to Miss______. Please have seat
beside the bride and in a moment we shall match in the
garter toss.
****
Retrieval of the Garter/Tossing of Garter
This tradition has been done over the years and is meant
that whoever catches the garter will be the luck guy to get
wed. Let’s have a game, and it’s called “pass the garter”
we will play music and as the music stops, whoever is
holding the bouquet, is the lady guy.

Congratulations and may I have your name please? Ok so

let’s give a big hand to Mr. ______. Before you put the
garter on the legs of Ms. ________. You will dance first as
you approach the lady.

Miss ____________. Lets give them a round of applause.

Message from God parents (During Lunch)

In all sense of the word Godparents are guardians of the

faith. The Bride and Groom should treat this role not
merely as gift givers during nuptials; But as a co-sharers
to the promise of a lifetime of Christian commitment.

And the Godparents to give their message to the couple,

lets welcome Mr/Mrs. -----------------------

Thank you for your wisdom, a round of applause for the
God parents of the couple.
