WELCOMING REMARKS

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here tonight to witness the transformation of a
young girl to a beautiful lady. We are very blessed for we are chosen to be here and be part of this
momentous occasion in her life. You see her grow up. You see her smile. You see her laugh. You see her
everything. And now you are about to see her as a grown-up lady. A lady of good heart, character and
ambition.

An 18th birthday marks almost the steps from youth to young adult, with all its relative responsibilities.
Join us as we celebrate this wonderful coming of her age becoming a full-bloomed lady tonight.

But before we go on, it is my great honor to introduce all her family tonight.

The Bautista Family

Her mother is Sherna Bautista, and her father is Erwin Bautista. Without them, her life would be empty
and unhappy. Let us all give a big round of applause to honor all the people whom she truly loved.
