We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

CROWD ACTIVITY: HAPPY MARRIAGE AND BEST WISHES

you say wishes. Ready? Happy (marriage), Best (wishes), Best (wishes), Best

Pictorial / Buffet Dinner

Well I guess the food is now ready and dinner will commence shortly. At this point to
maintain order, Ill 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 ______________of Olaes Resort, Sir ____________ for the
wonderful accommodation and service that they are providing us here. The

see the evolution of Jahndo and joannas love affair. (chika about the love story of
the couple)
AVP SLIDESHOW
TRADITION: CAKE SLICING
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. It is also been a part of wedding celebrations since the Roman
times, is a symbol of good luck and fertility. The sharing of this food symbolizes the
couples willingness to fulfill each others needs, creating a bond so simple yet so
strong.
TRADITION: DOVE-KISSING
DOVE KISSING TRADITION
This time lets see them hold those two doves; please take them out of the cage.
Then, they will make those lovely dove kiss each other. PICTURE!!! (kiss)
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.
TRADITION: WINE-TOASTING
This time, lets fill our glasses with any drink that we could get and join the best
man, Mauro Mabansag for the symbolic wine toast.

roses. The girl who catches flower can safely return to her seat while the one

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
