Notes:
– To all those who are expected to give their messages, kindly inform them ahead of
time to prepare a two-minute message to keep everything sweet and short. There are
times when they get carried away and extend to 15 minutes or more… and there are
times when they don’t know what to say because they were not advised ahead of time.
– Optional Raffle: at the registration table, prepare small sheets of paper where the
receptionist can write down legibly one’s full name upon arrival, roll the paper and drop
into the fishbowl… the host will pick a name for the raffle draw… usually, prizes are gift
certificates… raffle draws help excite the audience and keep them from going home,
especially when big prizes are at stake
– What are the prizes (if any) in case there are raffle draws, hashtag contests, singles
games
– Optional Hashtag Contest: guests are requested to post photos on social media
using the hashtag assigned by the couple and towards the end of the reception, the
couple will choose one winner
– Best man’s toast — For the coordinators, remind the best man that for the toast he
should end with something like “let’s all stand and raise our glasses. Here’s to long life,
love and happiness! Cheers!”
Games and opening of gifts can be inserted any part of the program.
Say thanks to the sponsors, the venue, the church, the presiding priest, the food, and
others…

MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED COUPLE. ON THIS JOYFUL BEGINNING WHAT COULD BE
MORE FITTING THAN TO CELEBRATE IT WITH THEIR FIRST DANCE. One of the parents’
dreams is to see the wedding of their children.  I am sure our couple’s parents are

INVITE YOU TO PERFORM THE WINE CEREMONY. THE ARMS OF THE COUPLE WILL
INTERTWINE AS THEY DRINK WINE.
B: THIS CEREMONY REPRESENTS YOUR TWO INDIVIDUAL LIVES, NOW INTERTWINED;
COMBINED LIKE THE TWO GLASSES WINE INTO ONE SINGLE LIFE. THE DRINKING OF

SEALED WITH DRINKING OF THE NEW WINE JOINING YOUR LIVES AS ONE.
(KISS)
(OPTIONAL: IN THE GLASS ARE THE FRUITS OF CREATION, MANKIND AND MOTHER
EARTH. THE YEARS OF OUR LIVES ARE LIKE A CUP OF WINE THAT IS POURED OUT FOR
THE SAKE OF LABOR, HONOR AND LOVE. MANY DAYS YOU WILL SIT AT THE SAME
TABLE AND EAT AND DRINK TOGETHER. MANY ARE THE EXPERIENCES YOU WILL
SHARE.)
(OPTIONAL: AS WITH A GLASS OF WINE, ONE OF YOU MAY FIND IT SWEET, THE OTHER
PERHAPS DRY OR SOMEHOW DIFFERENT. LET THE DRINK YOU SHARE TODAY SERVE AS

CANDLE SPONSORS (who symbolically lighted the couples path)

VEIL SPONSORS (who clothe the newly wed as one)

CHORD SPONSORS: (who symbolically bound the pair together)

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…

Bouquet and Garter Toss

For some real excitement and fun, the lovely and single, feeling single, almost single, it's-
complicated single, and all the kinds of single maidens get hyped up now as we are going to
proceed to the traditional throwing of the bouquet. Get your pump heels ready for jumping
and do some stretching. Anyone who gets the bouquet will be the next bride. Let's count
altogether.

Congratulations ______________ you are definitely the next bride so we have to find the
perfect groom-to-be! It's the gentlemen's turn now for the garter toss. Get ready to wrestle
as the gorgeous groom is going to retrieve the garter.

This time around we have to ask the groom-to-be to put that garter on the next bride's legs.
(Fun Tip: Groom-to-be should raise the garter as high as possible, using his mouth, LOL)

Today's affair is just getting more exciting with future groom and bride and since we are
hoping for a romantic love to bloom between these two, we have to encourage them to seal
this part with a Kiss. 

Opening of Gifts
The couple truly appreciate your presence here with or without your gifts but really the
gifts also matter, kidding! (ad lib) The couple may not be able to open all these gifts tonight
but let us check on the biggest and the smallest gifts  (or the couple's choice).

A wedding brings two people and their families together. It refreshes the family ties and friendship
that have gone stale and almost forgotten against the toll of time and distance. For this allow us to
give a very special welcome to all who have traveled all the way from the province to be here with us
today.
Thank you for taking the time out to be with us.
Also we would like to thank all the relatives and friends who are here with us. We are so happy that
you can be with us.
