II. LUNCH

III. 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 the Roy and Syril 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.
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 Roy and Syril 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/Tossing of the bouquet

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.

This tradition has been done over the years and is meant that whoever catches the bouquet would have luck and
protection 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.
4. Picture taking with Bachelor and Lucky Lady
May we request the chosen bachelor and the lucky lady to pose for a picture with the newlyweds.

Bridal Waltz First Dance

Tonight is indeed a special night and will forever be etched in the memory of our beloved couple. For tonight marks
the beginning of their new life together. From this day forward they shall be one, and on this joyful beginning what
could be more fitting than to celebrate it with their First Dance.
The First Dance is symbolic of the consummation of their wedding vows. This Dance is the wedding couples' first
cooperative engagement and joint endeavor. As the saying goes, “It takes two to tango.” Ladies and gentlemen, it is
once again my privilege to present to you Mr and Mrs Roy Mallorca with their First Dance.
(Newlyweds dances their First Dance)

IV. WORDS FROM FRIENDS

saw the romance between Groom and Bride blossom into a serious relationship. May we call on ___ _ and ____ to
share with all of us what they know about the couple.

SPEECH FROM THE PARENTS

May we call on the father of the bride, Mr. ________ to give an inspirational talk to the newlyweds.
May we also call on the mother of the groom, Mrs. ________ to share some words for the newly weds.
