CAKE SLICING
Sarah:At this point, I hope every ones attention is in the couple as they do the cake cutting
tradition. Dear, tanong ko lang, bakit may ganitong eksena pag may kasal?
Matt: Well, ayon sa aking research, the cake cutting symbolizes the couple's unity, their shared
future, and their life together as one. The sharing of this food symbolizes the couples willingness
to fulfill each others needs.
Sarah:Well said. May we request Jay and Ritchel to prepare for the cake slicing.
DOVE KISSING
Sarah: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 and release them.
Matt: Doves, as they say, are a symbol of true love. The white dove chooses its mate for life.
They symbolize fidelity, true love, new beginnings and of course peace and serenity.
TOASTING
Matt: We would like to call on Mr. Mark Kenneth Vidallo, the Best Man. He is the best friend of Jay
and is very close to him. He will initiate the supposed Wine Toasting. But for this wedding, its not
a wine but a pure extract Juice. This is a symbol of us wishing the couple of good fortune and
better future and the best life possible for them. May we all join the best man.

BOUQUET CEREMONY
Sarah:Now all the single ladies please come on down. Lets do the bouquet game! This is very
different, one by one 6 roses. The girl who catches flower can safely return to her seat while the
one without having to catch one is the winner. This should make the girls catch every flower
thrown. (Ready? 1,2,3)
GARTER GAME
Matt: Lets call on this time all the gentlemen the single ones! Sige po punta kayo sa unahan.
Jay had simplified the game. Ihahagis lang po niya ang Garter and who ever catches it wins.
