ENTRANCE OF THE ENTOURAGE

Bernz: At this point, let us witness the wedding entourage!
Iryn: Excited na ba kayong makita ang bagong kasal? But first, let’s witness an opening salvo to be
presented to us by our lovely and handsome bride’s maids and groom’s men together with the best man
and maid of honor!

Both: Ladies and gentlemen, let us all rise and welcome our newly wedded couple, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Rey

Rev. Dionesio Cagud.

Iryn: To welcome us all in this joyous event, let us hear the Welcome address to be given to us by Miss
Merry Ann S. Tahum, the ever supportive sister of the groom.

Bernz: One of the parents’ dreams is to see the wedding of their children. I am sure our couple’s parents are
equally excited as them.
Let us now recognize these very special people in the hearts of the newly wed.

together.

Bernz:

SLICING OF THE WEDDING CAKE

Iryn: At this point, I hope everyone’s 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!

TOSSING OF WINE BY THE BEST MAN

Iryn: At this juncture, let’s fill our glasses with any drink that we could get and join the best man, Bernardo
Ondovilla Nacubuan Jr. for the symbolic wine toast.

Bernz: Parang sa mahabang pagsasama, na puno ng pagmamahalan, pag-uunawaan at pagbibigayan, John

at Ann, Maligayang bati! Cheers everyone!

FREEING OF THE DOVE/WHITE DOVE RELEASE

Iryn: The two doves represent the bride and groom as they begin their life’s journey in purity and with no
regrets of their past. Second, a wedding ceremony begins a journey of two lives working together for life’s
happiness.
