excited?

OPENING PRAYER

To officially start, let us all stand for the opening prayer to be led by
Mrs. Virginia La Torre, TLE teacher from Macario B. Asistio National High
School.

Father, you have made the bond of marriage a holy mystery,

a symbol of Christ's love for his Church.

Hear our prayers for ____ and ____.

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 Operation Manager of Pescadores Restaurant, Sir
Ramon for the wonderful accommodation and service that they are providing us
here. The newlyweds would also like to say a special thank you to
_________________ for supervising in the physical arrangement of our
reception.

Habang nasasatisfy ang ating taste buds sa masasarap na pagkain ng

Pescadores. Merong inihandang slideshow presentation dito where we can see
the evolution of Jackie and Romulo’s love affair. (chika about the love story
of Jackie and Romulo)

• AVP – SLIDESHOW

• BAND PLAY – Coming from a family

of musician, let’s delight our ears with the band acoustics of Jackie’s
relatives.

• SONG NUMBER OF JOHN HENDRICK

DAGUIO – BIBLE BEARER: Talent runs in the family, let’s hear a sample from
the kid who bears the bible a while ago in the church. Round of applause to…

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, Mauro Mabansag for the symbolic wine toast.
Para sa mahabang pagsasama puno nang pagmamahalan, paguunawaan at
pagbibigayan, Jackie at Romulo 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 Romulo and Jackie 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 )
