Our next tradition is the slicing of the wedding cake.

Slicing of the Cake

May I request Nygel and Krystalle to prepare for the cake ceremony. The cake, which
has been a part of wedding celebrations since the Roman times, it 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.

Wine Toast or the Best Man Toast

Our next tradition is the wine tossing. Raising a glass together is a way for everyone to
share in wishing good health and happiness to the newlyweds. As the wine is poured,
our newlyweds now make wishes for their good fortune, a better future and the best life
possible for them. Let’s join them in their fervent wishes through good fellowship and
camaraderie, love and happiness. May I call Mr. ____________________ the brother of the
Groom for the Best Man Toast
