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 Romulos love affair. (chika about the love story of
Jackie and Romulo)

AVP SLIDESHOW

BAND PLAY Coming from a family of musician, lets delight our ears
with the band acoustics of Jackies relatives.
SONG NUMBER OF JOHN HENDRICK DAGUIO BIBLE BEARER:
Talent runs in the family, lets 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 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!!!
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, lets 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. Lets 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, heres the
catch. The lady with the longest stem is the chosen one! Sino ang maswerteng
babae?

GARTER GAME
Lets 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 LADYS LEG.

You're decision to unite as one is fitting if there is love in your hearts ...
Water is the essence of life , but when water is combined with grains,hops
and yeast, the outcome is glorious beer. SO TOO SHALL BE THE PRODUCT
OF THEIR UNION.
It is an unselfish union between beer's basic ingredients that makes the
finished product truly magical. It is an unsefish union of beer's ingredients
that makes beer truly magnificient. SO TOO WILL BE YOUR MARRIAGE.
Love is the water of your beer.Trust is the grain that will give your
marriage its character and strength. Passion like hops will add fragrance
and spice to your life together. Your commitment to one another is the
yeast that act as the catalyst to make this glorious as union -- this
metaphysical wonder -- possible.
And now that the yeast has been added and the fermentation of your love
has begun,there are vast changes ahead. Open your hearts wider than
they have ever been opened before and rise up to meet these changes.
Open your thoughts wider than they have ever been opened before and
consume these changes. Let them fill your spirits and intoxicate your
souls..Abandon all previous disappointments and past events that may
have held you back and look forward toward your future with one fresh
spirit, one fresh love , with one fresh beer.
LEMBERG : Thanks Voltaire... And now it's time for us to know who
among mark and dashi finish the beer the fastest ... Mark and dashi..

IX .SAND CEREMONY
Kimmie: explains (The Meaning of the Unity Sand Ceremony)- The flowing
sand and blending of the colors in the Unity Sand Ceremony symbolize the
bringing together of two lives into one. The two sands symbolize
everything that the bride and groom have been or will become in the

future.The blending of the sand represents the union not only of them but
their friends and families as well. The separate sands once poured into the
unity vase can never be put back into their separate vases. They are
forever entwined just as the lives and loves of the bride and groom. Some
couples prefer to leave a small amount of sand in their respective
container to show that even though they now function as one, they remain
individuals.

(The Bridesmaids and Groomsmen)

`Now we come to the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen. They are the understudies for the Bride and
Groom. If the Bride and Groom chickened out, itd be two of you tying the knot in their place!

First Bridesmaid

`So without further ado and just a little nepotism, we have Winonas younger sister Emmeline

as a ballerina to concentrate on bringing home a gold medal at the next Olympics for gymnastics.

way. A big hand for our second Groomsman! (applause)
Third Groomsman

`Our last groomsman, Alan Peterson has known our Groom, Derek ever since they got arrested

Best Man's Toast to the Bride and the Groom

Jones. As you all know, it is customary for the best man to reveal rare
insights into the make-up of the groom, to share with us, the inklings and
foibles that make our beloved groom Derek, the man he is. In other
words, an expos! Ladies and Gentlemen, the best man!
Bridal Waltz - First Dance
`Ladies and Gentlemen, we now come to that very special part of every
wedding party, steeped in symbolism. The Bridal Waltz. This is the
moment when the groom walks his bride to the dance floor and
they begin a dance that will last the rest of their lives. Put your
hands together for Winona and Derek as they begin their special
waltz as husband and wife.
Bouquet Throw
`Ok now its time for a little fun, because its time for the
traditional throwing of the Bouquet. For those of you whove seen

the running of the bulls at Pamplona, its a little similar. Theres always a little risk for the lasses
determined to get the bouquet in their clutches. Its also the real reason you see so many high
heels shoes tonight. As you know, traditionally the young lady who successfully catches the
bouquet in mid-flight is a certainty to make her own way down the aisle.
Id like to request all the single ladies to step forward for the bouquet throw. The married ladies
whove sneaked on, dont be greedy. This is for single women only. Our lovely and charming
bride Winona has been practising this throw all summer, so give yourselves some elbow room.
(to the bride) `Winona, if youd be so kind..
(INSTRUCTIONS: Emcee bravely motions all the
single ladies forward)
`Ladies take your place behind the bride and be prepared to jump high. Fortune favors the brave!
At the count of three, the bride will throw her bouquet. Ladies and gentlemen, lets all count
together.
Are you ready Ladies? Would you just look at the concentration. Theres some determined
women out there. The countdown! One, Two, Three! What a throw, ladies and gentlemen.
(Bride throws the bouquet and it is caught)
We have a winner! Well have the Best Man cleaned and brought to your table later.
Garter Toss
Ladies and Gentlemen, heres where things get serious. Its time for
the Garter toss. I understand some of the guys jumping for the garter
have been in training for months. Underneath those tuxedos, were
talking washboard abs, bulging biceps, nerves of steel. Weve got
Olympic gymnasts, high-jumpers, Morris dancers. These guys are
ripped and ready to rumble! Remember gentlemen this is serious
business. The guy who catches the garter is destined for the altar next!
Now while the groom retrieves the garter, dont let any of those garter jumpers melt into the
crowd.
We have the garter. Get ready gentlemen.
(Groom throws the garter and it is caught)
We have another winner! We have the next groom. I hope that preacher hasnt left the room.
Lets hear it for our winners. (wide applause)

Message of Thanks from the Newlyweds Groom

Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand by for a few words of thanks from our new Groom, Derek
McGregor.
Closing Remarks
Well I guess thats about everything ladies and gentlemen we have finally come to the end of our
program. It has been a great day and a wonderful evening with you all. Again thank you all for

according to your table. Each table has a name corresponding to every little adventure Raymund
and Valerie have experienced. I give out a Trivia Question and one member from each table
stands up, shouts out the table name, and is given the chance to answer. If the answer is correct,
then congratulations! Your table gets to approach the buffet table first! Val, Raymund, you
watch out for who stands up first. If the first answer is wrong, the other tables get a chance to
steal. Ok? Is that clear enough? All set?

will be collected later on when we distribute the souvenirs.
V. TRADITIONS
A wedding is not complete without traditions. We would like to move on to the first
tradition, the cutting of the cake.
1. Cutting of the Cake
May we request Groom and Bride to prepare for the cake cutting ceremony. The
cake, which has 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 couple's
willingness to fulfill each other's needs, creating a bond so simple and yet so strong.
Before we proceed to the next tradition, may we call on ____ and ____ to share more
of their personal experiences with the newlyweds.
Speech from friends commences.
2. Champagne Toast
Our next tradition is the champagne toasting. Raising a glass together is a way for
everyone to share in wishing good health and happiness to the newlyweds. As the
champagne is poured, our newlyweds now make wishes for their good fortune, a
better future and the best life possible for them. We would like to invite everyone to
raise their glasses to Groom and Bride and join them in their fervent wishes through
good fellowship and camaraderie, love and happiness.
May we now call on the Best man, Mr. ________, to lead the champagne toasting.
3. Tossing of the garter/ Cake charms/ Tossing of the bouquet <sample idea>
Instead of the traditional way of tossing of the garter, we have something different.
May ask our team assistants to proceed to the assigned areas to distribute balloons
to all the single bachelors. The single bachelors should pop the balloon. There is one
balloon that contains the garter and whoever gets that balloon is out lucky bachelor.
Team assistant, please escort the lucky bachelor to the second floor.
While the gentlemen are popping the balloons, may we call on all the single ladies
to proceed to the second floor to get the cake charms. Team assistants, please
round up all the single women and escort them to the second floor.
(After the cake charms)
Ladies, please stay within the area as we now moving on to the tossing of the
bouquet. This tradition has been done over the years and is meant that whoever
catches the bouquet would have luck and protection. Nowadays, it has simply

evolved to imply that whoever caught the bouquet would be lucky and would be
wed next. So now may we ask all the single ladies to occupy the designated area
before you for the ceremonial tossing of the bouquet. The single ladies will form a
circle and we will do a trip to Jerusalem bouquet tossing. We will play music and as
the music stops, whoever is holding the bouquet, is the lucky lady.
4. Picture taking with Bachelor and Lucky Lady
May we request the chosen bachelor and the lucky lady to pose for a picture with
Groom ____ and Bride' _____.
To give some highlights of the couple's life before they were united as one, may we
call on ____ and ____.

May we request the team assistants to please distribute the souvenirs for each floor.
May we also request the team assistants to collect the filled-up guest cards from
each table.

the newlyweds.
May we also call on the mother of the groom, Mrs. ________ to share some words for
the newly weds.

momentous occasion with Groom and Bride. We do hope that all of you had a great
time. This is ____ and ____ signing off. Good afternoon everyone and Let's Party!!!

I. GATHERING WORDS

Welcome! Good afternoon, family and friends

We have come here today to celebrate the wedding of Bride first/last name and Groom first/last
name.

On behalf of the two of them, I thank you for being here today
They are so happy that you have come to share in their excitement
By your presence, you celebrate with them the love they have discovered in each other
And you support their decision to commit themselves to a lifelong relationship

Marriage is perhaps the greatest and most challenging adventure of human relationships. No
ceremony can create a relationship that does not already exist and has not already been
acknowledged in all the commitments you have made to each other, both large and small. A
ceremony is a symbol of how far you have come together and a symbol of the promise that you
will make to each other. What this ceremony can do is to witness and affirm the choice you
make to stand together as lifemates and partners, to continue to live your lives together and to
love each other wholly.

Marriage is a bond to be entered into only after considerable thought and reflection.
After six years Brides name & Grooms name are ready to take the next step, to make this
commitment.
Today, they demonstrate their devotion to each other by dedicating themselves to a life together
And they show their respect for each other by setting forth to honor the vows they have created
Today, their lives, which began on separate paths, will be joined as one

IV. MARRIAGE ADDRESS

Today, a day of celebration, is one type of moment that makes life beautiful. We are thankful for
times like this, for the opportunity to celebrate this day and to make memories.
To proclaim vows among this circle of your closest friends and family is very powerful, because
you both are giving your solemn promise to each other. That you will love honor cherish
respect esteem and always endeavor to understand and meet your loved ones needs above
your own.
BOTH OF YOU, put each others feelings above your own and your marriage will be a success
and your love for one another will flourish!

I have three suggestions that I will offer to you, Brides name and Grooms name;
First, be constantly grateful for the presence of this precious person who has chosen to make a
life with you.

My second suggestion is this,

Make each other the recipient of daily kindness.
Be generous with compliments.
Be attentive and helpful.
Each of you can, by your tenderness toward each other,
kind words and thoughtful actions,
make your marriage and your home an uplifting refuge.

Last, but perhaps most importantly,

make truth the unfailing bedrock of your lives together.
A happy, loving marriage is built on trust and respect.
That trust and respect can only be sustained if you are both deeply committed to always being
open and truthful in every exchange no matter how small.

My hope for you is this;

that you have many long years to delight in each others company,
to feel gratitude for your great good fortune in having found and loved each other,
to make a home together that is at once sheltering and welcoming,
to each do meaningful, productive work at home and in the world
and to love and be loved by the friends and family who have come here today to support you.

V. GROUP DECLARATION OF SUPPORT

Two people in love do not live in isolation. Their love is a source of strength with which they
may nourish not only each other but also the world around them. And in turn, we, their
community of friends and family, have a responsibility to this couple. By our steadfast care,
respect, and love, we can support their marriage and the new family they are creating today.
Will everyone please rise.

Officiant: Will you who are present here today, surround Brides name and Grooms name in
love, offering them the joys of your friendship, and supporting them in their marriage?
All: We will
Officiant You may be seated. [Audience sits]

VI. MARRIAGE STATEMENT OF INTENT/CONSENT

Brides name and Grooms name, do you, with family and friends as your witnesses,
Present yourselves willingly and of your own accord to be joined in marriage?

[Bride & Groom: WE DO]

Will you promise to care for each other in the joys and sorrows of life, come what may,
And to share the responsibility for growth and enrichment of your life together?

[Bride & Groom: WE WILL]

Then please turn to each other and share the vows you have written.

VII. VOWS

Grooms Vows:
Brides Vows:

VIII. RING EXCHANGE

For thousands of years, lovers have exchanged rings as a token of their vows. Let these rings be
a sign that love has a past, a present, and a future, through you and within you. The promises
which you have spoken to each other today are forever in your minds and hearts, but words are
fleeting and so those who marry wear rings as visible, tangible symbols of their love and
commitment. These rings announce to the world that you have recognized in each other your
souls mate. That you have entwined together to become one and that it is inconceivable that you
should ever part.
Groom, take Brides ring, place it on her finger and repeat after me:
I give you this ring as a sign that I choose you and as a reminder that I will always love you.
[Groom repeats]
To be my lover, my partner and my best friend, to the end of my days [Groom repeats]
Wear it, think of me, and know that I love you [Groom repeats]
With this ring I take you to be my trusted confidante and partner for life. [Groom repeats]
Bride, take Grooms ring, place it on his finger and repeat after me:
I give you this ring as a sign that I choose you and as a reminder that I will always love you.
[Bride repeats]
To be my lover, my partner and my best friend, to the end of my days [Bride repeats]
Wear it, think of me, and know that I love you [Bride repeats]
With this ring I take you to be my trusted confidante and partner for life. [Bride repeats]

IX. HANDFASTING
Bride , take Grooms hands palms up, so you may see the gift that they are to you:

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and vibrant with love,
that are holding yours on your wedding day, as he promises to love you all the days of his life.

Now Groom, please take Brides hands, palms up, so you may see the gift that they are to you:

These are the hands of your best friend, smooth, young, and carefree,
that are holding yours on your wedding day, as she promises to love you all the days of her life.

Now, please join hands so that they may be fasted in the ways of old. Your hands will form the
eternity symbol, visually demonstrating that your love will always be present and will run
between the two of you throughout the years.
Remember then as your hands are fasted, these are not the ties that bind, but are rather cords that
signify the uniting of two lives into one.

Your marriage also signifies the joining of two families. I ask that Brides sister name &
Grooms brother name come to tie the fabric around Groom and Brides joined hands.

[Cords are held aloft]

The love already shared by your hearts

Has been strengthened by the vows you have taken
You will be bound by your love as you are bound by your clasped hands from now until the end
of your days

[As the following is recited, hands are wrapped]

These are the hands that will love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of
happiness.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes: tears of sorrow and
tears of joy.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as you build your future together.

These are the hands that will hold you whenever illness, fear, or grief may find you.

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times.
These are the hands that will give you support and encourage you to chase your dreams.
Together, everything you wish for can be realized.
These are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours.

[Binding is finished and cords are knotted]

Bless these hands that you see before you this day.
May they always reach out with love, gentleness, and respect.
May they build a loving relationship that lasts a lifetime.
May they always be held by one another.
If you follow these words and heed this sacred binding,
your hands will heal, protect, shelter, and guide.
Now, you may remove the cords,
but remember the knot as a lasting symbol of your binding and commitment

[Cords are removed and stowed]

X. PRONOUNCEMENT {Declaration of Marriage}

No one but you can declare yourselves married. You have begun it here today in speaking your
vows before your family and friends and you will do it again in the days and years to come,
standing by each other, sharing all the sweet and the bitter of life. Each tender act, each loving
word, will be the declaration of what was made here today.
In the honesty and sincerity of what you have said and done here today,
And in accordance with the laws of the state of Colorado
It is my honor and delight to declare you
To be husband and wife
You may seal your vows with a kiss

[Groom & Bride kiss]

XI. BENEDICTION
Now, may the love that has brought you together continue to grow and enrich your lives
May you meet with courage the problems that arise to challenge you
And may your relationship always be one of love and trust.

May the happiness you share today be with you always

And may every word you have pledged here be a living truth in your lives.

I proudly introduce to you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. his name & my name Last Name.
