SINGASING & GALLEBO

Zenon - A lovely afternoon to our guests. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wedding
reception of DAVID AND ROMELYN. __________________. I am __________________, and
_________________, and we are tasked to be the emcee for today’s celebration.
Felipe - So please find a seat and make yourselves comfortable as we are about to start the
program. 

Once again good afternoon everyone and welcome to David and Romelyn Lunch Reception. We
are done with the solemn part of the celebration and we thank those people who were with us
earlier at the OLLP for the wedding ceremony. And for those who just join in, Welcome!

And so, here we are at Gallebo’s Residence, here at Alilem, Ilocos for the most exciting part - the
Lunch Reception for our newlyweds in celebration of the beginning of their new life together. So,
sit down, relax and enjoy the rest of the day.

Opening Spiel:
Zenon - "No relationship is all sunshine but two people can share one umbrella and survive the
storm together."

Felipe - Indeed, today we have witnessed two people who never gave up on each other and
remained strong amid the storm. Now, they have chosen to seal their love with the sacred
sacrament of marriage.
 
Zenon - 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 me to give a very special welcome to all who have traveled far to be here with us today, we
would like to acknowledge the presence of families and friends who took their time out to be here
with us. So again, I would like to request the people concerned to please make a stand or just give
us a wave to be recognized as you are called.

ENTOURAGE

Felipe - At this point I assume that everyone has settled down and we are all ready to welcome
the newlyweds

Since today is momentous for the couple, it is just right to give them a grand entrance and our
warmest welcome. 
Ladies and gentlemen let us welcome the couple of the year Mr. & Mrs. David Singasing.

Ad lib like "They are the proof that love stands still even with the test of time. Love really makes
us blush, look at them they are just absolutely stunning!"

Zenon - Once again, let us give our loudest applause to the sponsors, the wedding entourage,
and of course, the couple, Mr. & Mrs. SINGASING

Zenon - Prayer before Meals

We have not reached half way of the program yet but pretty sure that some of us are already
famished. Since there are still a lot of exciting activities which include games, dancing and
surprises in stored for us, we need the energy to carry out all these tasks later. Let us all stand as
we offer thanksgiving to our Lord for the bountiful banquet we are about to share. ( JAK AMMO
NU SINO KA)
Felipe - Acknowledgment of Guests 
At this point, we would like to request the couple to join the guests in their respective tables for this
rare chance to strike a pose with the newlyweds. 

Zenon - Photo Opp/Table Hopping

A wedding does not only bring two people together but it often reunites families and friends who
might have not seen each other for months or even years. Weddings are indeed a high time for
meet-and-greet. So, let us acknowledge the presence of our most important
guests. (Acknowledge guests from each table)

Felipe - Cake Cutting & Wine Toast

We have here a beautiful wedding cake courtesy of (NOREEN?), Madam, thank you so much.

In every wedding reception, there is always the cutting of the wedding cake which actually
symbolizes the couple’s shared future and their life as one and maybe sprinkled with love and
sweetness just like the cake.
May I now request Wendell and Ivy to do the honors of cutting the wedding cake.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the cake has been cut. May I now request the waiters to
please serve the cake to our guests.

Applause. May we give the newly weds a resonating clap.

Zenon - Now that the cake has been served, let us join the COUPLE in the symbolic wine toast. 
The spiritual significance of the couple’s wine toasting is the blood of Christ where the couple
becomes one with God. It is also the symbol of the couple’s union.

This symbolic drinking from the cup of life reflects their sharing of all BITTER and SWEET
experience together as their journey in this realm that we call “married life”. Just like the wine, love
should also brew over the years, and that we do hope and pray that they go sweeter as the years
go by. As a Filipino advert goes, “Habang tumatagal, lalong, sumasarap”.

Let's seal it with a sweet kiss. Couple if you could just give our guests' request. Kiss!

Felipe - 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. (with
a twist)

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.

Zenon - RETRIEVAL OF THE GARTER

Before we go on with the Garter Toss, the groom is to retrieve the garter from his bride. So, may
we request David and Romelyn to please come at center stage and do the garter retrieval ritual.

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.

Ok it is now the gentlemen's turn and we will now do the garter toss. May I now request all single
men to please come forward for the Garter Toss.

(INSTRUCTIONS: Emcee motions and waits for all single men to come forward)
Dramahan na itey!

Felipe - First Dance

As a wedding tradition, let us welcome Mrs. ROMELYN GALLEBO SINGASING and his father Mr.
ROMEO GALLEBO on the dance floor for their first dance.

I would like to us the father of the bride to escort his daughter to the dance floor for the father
daughter dance.

After which,
And now I’d like to us the father Mr. ROMEO GALLEBO to give the hand of the bride to her groom
as a sign that he is finally letting her go and putting the full responsibility to her husband. Once
again ladies and gentlemen let us witness the first dance of the newly wed. Let's give them a
round of applause.

Life may get a little offbeat for the couple, they may miss a step or two but their hearts will always
beat harmoniously for each other. Let's give another round of applause for the couple!

(option) - For this noon marks the beginning of their new life together. From this day forward they
shall be one, and on this joyful beginning what could be more fitting than to celebrate it with their
First Dance. The First Dance is symbolic of the consummation of their wedding vows. This Dance
is the wedding couples' first cooperative engagement and joint endeavor. As the saying goes, “It
takes two to tango.” Ladies and gentlemen, it is once again my privilege to present to you Mr. and
Mrs. David Singasing with their First Dance.

MESSAGES
Zenon - It is said that our parents are our first teachers having raised us patiently from childhood
to adulthood. They have been our source of comfort, support and inspiration. Maria Linda and
William are truly blessed with such wonderful parents and I’m quite sure when it comes to knowing
what marriage is all about, they always have a word or two to share to their children. We would
like to call on the Mr. Gallebo to say a few words of wisdom and Best Wished to our newlyweds
(Message)
Thank you so much uncle for that inspiring message. And now we would like to call on
the relatives and friends to say a few words of wisdom to our newlyweds.
