VI. Guests’ Oath

 A: Ako si _____________, bilang kabahagi ng mahalagang selebrasyon nila
Dael at Dianne ay buong pusong nangangako na makikibahagi sa program
mula umpisa hanggang dulo. At ang pinakamahalaga, hindi ako mag eat and
run. Kasiyahan nawa ako ng bagong kasal.

VII. Rituals
A: At this point, I hope everyone’s attention is in the couple as they do the
cake cutting tradition.
B: Bakit may ganitong eksena pag may kasal? Well, ayon sa aking research:
Cake Cutting
The hand of the husband placed over the hand of the wife symbolizes his support for
her and her promise to take care of him and their family.

Customarily, the couple feed each other from the cake symbolizes their commitment to
take care of one another.

Ceremonial Toasts/Wine Toast – King Robert Danao

A: 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. This time,
let’s fill our glasses with the drink that we could get and join for their symbolic wine
toast. Now my I call the Bestman Mr. King Robert Danao for the wine toasting.

“Here’s to good health, happiness, good luck and prosperity to Dael and Diane. Cheers!!!”

B: It contains within it the sweet flavors of love, joy, wonder and contentment. Of
course, as you drink from this cup, you accept the commitment to draw from your
marriage all that you need to awash away the bitter flavors of life and to savor the
sweet flavors you may encounter on your journey together.
