Alright, so let’s move on to our next stop. A wedding is not
complete without traditions. The first one must be the
cutting of the wedding cake.
Cutting of Cake
May I request Reagan and Lovely 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.
****
Message from friend/relative/family.

Wine 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.

Tossing of the Bouquet or Bouquet Throw
At this time, may I request all the single ladies to please
come over for the bouquet throw. We would also like to
request the bride to come forward and take her place at the
center.
Ok so ladies, take your place behind the bride and be
prepared to catch the bouquet. It is said that whoever will
catch the bouquet will soon to be the next bride.
Alright. Everything is fine. Audience, may I request you to
join me in counting okay.. Ready, 321 and Go!
May I request for the lady who was able to catch the
bouquet to please come forward and join me here.
Congratulations and may I have your name please? Ok so
let’s give a big hand to Miss______. Please have seat beside
the bride and in a moment we shall match in the garter
toss.
****
Retrieval of the Garter/Tossing of Garter
This tradition has been done over the years and is meant
that whoever catches the garter will be the luck guy to get
wed. Let’s have a game, and it’s called “pass the garter” we
will play music and as the music stops, whoever is holding
the bouquet, is the lady guy.

A WEDDING PRAYER
Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow,
for the health, the work, the food,
and the bright skies that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth.
Amen

Introduction of the Wedding Party
Parents of the Bride
`Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen. Please be on your feet as
we welcome the bridal party. Put your hands together for
our hosts, the mother and father of the bride. As you all
know, the day your little girl gets married is the happiest
day of the century for every doting parent and don’t they
look radiant? Thank you Brian & Lily Walker, we can see
where the bride got her good looks from. I’m not saying
which, you both look wonderful tonight.’ (wide applause)
Parents of the Groom
`And now, here come the parents of the groom, looking
happy and proud. Please welcome Michael & Maria
McGregor. Derek’s parents just got back from trekking in
Nepal to be here for their son’s wedding. A big hand for
Michael & Maria McGregor, Parents of the Groom.’
Matron of Honor
`And now we come to the Matron of Honor, Meagan
McGregor. It’s been said that Meagan is chosen for her
ability to outthink, outrun and generally outwrestle
anything with up to eight legs that stands in the way of a
smooth-running wedding. In Meagan’s case, she’s also the
Bride’s Auntie. A tremendous grip on the woman as well!
Let’s hear it for Auntie Meagan.’ (wide applause)
Best Man
`Now we come to our Best Man, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Orlando Jones by name. The Best Man isn’t just there to
pass the ring to the groom. He’s there to put his body on
the line for his best friend. Greater love hath no man, they
say. He also assures us, he really is the best man. We can’t
wait for his speech and wise counsel. Let’s hear it for
Orlando.’ (wide applause)
(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, it’d be two of you tying the knot
in their place! There’s a sobering thought.’
First Bridesmaid
`So without further ado and just a little nepotism, we have
Winona’s younger sister Emmeline Walker our first
bridesmaid. Gentlemen, Emmeline is single and taking a
break from her career as a ballerina to concentrate on
bringing home a gold medal at the next Olympics for
gymnastics. Let’s hear it for wee Emmeline!’ (wide
applause)
Second Bridesmaid
`Our second bridesmaid, Mary Jo Zimakowski has known
Winona since they were in high school together and as
usual, Mary Jo says she has Winona’s back. Let’s hear it for
Mary Jo.’ (more applause)
Third Bridesmaid
`Our last bridesmaid has watched `Twenty Seven Dresses’
five times. This is her twelfth time as a bridesmaid and she’s
running out of wardrobe space. Let’s hear it for Daniela
Pavelic. Hope you catch the bouquet Daniela.’ (wide
applause)
First Groomsman
`Our first groomsman is Michael McGregor Junior. Michael,
or Junior as big brother Derek calls him, is seventeen. He’s
single, six foot four and 250 pounds. His interests are rap
music and wrestling. Don’t anyone let him near a
microphone tonight, folks. Let’s hear it for Junior. ‘ (wide
applause)
Second Groomsman
`Our next groomsman is Jim Mellor. Our Jimmy’s a
hairdresser who specializes in some of the more exotic punk
rock styles you might see in the music industry. Imagine a
cross between Salvador Dali and Edward Scissorhands.
Jimmy also did our bride’s hair tonight. Nice job, by the 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 for brawling at a football
match over ten years ago. It’s amazing the things that bring
people together. Let’s have a big hand for Alan our third
groomsman.’
Entrance of the Bride and Groom
`And now the big moment, Ladies and Gentleman, our bride
and groom Winona and Derek! Doesn’t she look beautiful?
She’s been practising her bouquet-throwing and hopes to
give a good account of herself when the moment comes. As
for the groom, look at him! He scrubs well for a guy who
gets into football brawls, doesn’t he? Ladies and
Gentleman, a big hand for Winona and Derek!’. (wide
applause)
Father of the Bride’s Speech and a Prayer of Grace
`Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats as we hear a
few words a prayer of thanks for God’s grace from our host,
the Father of the Bride – Brian Walker!’
Dinner
(Dinner is served)
Cutting of the Wedding Cake
wedding cake prices`Gentlemen and gentlewomen! Could
we have your attention for a moment for the cutting of the
cake. For those unfortunate souls who are on a diet,
tonight’s not your night. The cake was baked by or Matron
of Honor Meagan McGregor with her own fair and
surprisingly strong hand and she’ll be round your tables to
make sure you all have your share. Friends please be up and
standing for the cutting of the cake.
Now all of those taking pictures, be sure you’re ready for
the photo-opportunity. Derek make sure you have a firm
hand on the cake with your beloved bride. ‘ (the cake is cut)
`Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen.’
Best Man's Toast to the Bride and the Groom
`Ladies and Gentlemen, a moment’s pause for the best man
Orlando 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
exposè! 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 it’s time for a little fun, because it’s time for the
traditional throwing of the Bouquet. For those of you
who’ve seen the running of the bulls at Pamplona, it’s a
little similar. There’s always a little risk for the lasses
determined to get the bouquet in their clutches. It’s 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.
I’d like to request all the single ladies to step forward for the
bouquet throw. The married ladies who’ve sneaked on,
don’t 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.’
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 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 Goodnight to
each and everyone.

(to the bride) `Winona, if you’d 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,
let’s all count together.

Are you ready Ladies? Would you just look at the

concentration. There’s 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! We’ll have the Best Man cleaned and

brought to your table later.

Garter Toss
Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s where things get serious. It’s
time for the Garter toss. I understand some of the guys
jumping for the garter have been in training for months.
Underneath those tuxedos, we’re talking washboard abs,
bulging biceps, nerves of steel. We’ve 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, don’t 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 hasn’t left the room. Let’s hear it for our
winners. (wide applause)
