CHRISTIAN’S GUARDIAN: MRS. GINA ROMERO AND ABNER CATAPANG
ENTRANCE OF THE COUPLE
And now the big moment, Ladies and Gentleman, our bride and groom CHRISTIAN AND
ROXY! Doesn’t she look beautiful? She’s been practicing her bouquet-throwing and hopes to
give a good account of herself when the moment comes. As for the groom, look at him!
Machong macho as always. Ladies and Gentleman, a big hand for MR. AND MRS
CHRISTIANA ND ROXY CATAPANG. (wide applause)
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… This afternoon’s program will be
quite exciting for we will hear Jackie’s relative playing the band all throughout. And maybe some
Visayan wedding traditions exercised… as well as not your usual bouquet and garter
ceremonies.. which would be more fun and memorable. Plus the sumptuous meal of
Pescadores restaurant is already set. Aren’t you all excited?
OPENING PRAYER
To officially start, let us all stand for the opening prayer.
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 Kon. Rolly and Tita Helen Boa and family for the wonderful
accommodation and service that they are providing us here. The newlyweds would also like to
say a special thank you to Brgy. Captain Regina Coron for supervising in the physical
arrangement of our reception.
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, HILBERT
CATAPANG for the symbolic wine toast.
Para sa mahabang pagsasama puno nang pagmamahalan, paguunawaan at pagbibigayan,
ROXY AND CHRISTIAN, 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 CHRISTIAN AND ROXY 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 )
( Pictorial with Couple )
SPEECHES
Now, before we end. Let’s hear some well-wishers give their message to newly wed.
THANK YOU MESSAGE OF THE COUPLE
The day and this reception have almost come to an end but for our newlyweds it is just a start of
their new life together. As we each go home, may this day be memorable for all of us as it it to
them. To personally convey their heartfelt gratitude let us now lend an ear to Marco and Tina
(Christian and Roxy delivers their message of gratitude.)
Closing Remarks
Well I guess that’s 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 your presence. God bless and Goodday to each and everyone.
