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,
1
Mary Jo says she has Winona’s back.
Jo.’ (more applause)
Third Bridesmaid
Our last bridesmaid has watchedTwenty 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)

introduce them one by one… starting off with the ninang…
Now let’s proceed with the godfathers: (alamin sino ang may
proxy)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARENTS
One of the parents’ dreams is to see the wedding of their

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 to be
led by
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.
We would like to thank the Operation Manager of Pescadores
Restaurant, Sir Ramon for the wonderful accommodation and
service that they are providing us here. The newlyweds would
also like to say a special thank you to _________________
for supervising in the physical arrangement of our reception.
Habang nasasatisfy ang ating taste buds sa masasarap na
pagkain ng Pescadores. Merong inihandang slideshow
presentation dito where we can see the evolution of Jackie
and Romulo’s love affair. (chika about the love story of Jackie
and Romulo)
· BAND PLAY – Coming from a
family of musician, let’s delight our ears with the band
acoustics of Jackie’s relatives.
· SONG NUMBER OF JOHN
HENDRICK DAGUIO – BIBLE BEARER: Talent runs in the
family, let’s hear a sample from the kid who bears the bible a
while ago in the church. Round of applause to…
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, Mauro Mabansag for the symbolic
wine toast.
Para sa mahabang pagsasama puno nang pagmamahalan,
paguunawaan at pagbibigayan, Jackie at Romulo 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 Romulo
and Jackie 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.
SPEECHES
Now, before we end. Let’s hear some well-wishers give their
message to newly wed.
