MAY WE REQUEST THE COUPLE TO PLEASE PROCEED TO THE CAKE’S TABLE… LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE CAKE CUTTING TRADITION…
THE HUSBAND AND WIFE WILL PUT THEIR HANDS TOGETHER TO SLICE THE CAKE.
THE TWO HANDS MOVING AS ONE WITH ONE PURPOSE, SYMBOLIZES THAT THE TWO WILL
WORK IN UNITY TO REACH COMMON GOALS FOR THEIR SHARED FUTURE AND THEIR LIFE
TOGETHER AS ONE.
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…
10. WINE CEREMONY
TO SYMBOLIZE AND CELEBRATE THE BLENDING OF YOUR TWO LIVES INTO ONE, I INVITE
YOU TO PERFORM THE WINE CEREMONY. THE ARMS OF THE COUPLE WILL INTERTWINE
AS THEY DRINK WINE. THIS CEREMONY REPRESENTS YOUR TWO INDIVIDUAL LIVES, NOW
INTERTWINED; COMBINED LIKE THE TWO GLASSES WINE INTO ONE SINGLE LIFE. THE
DRINKING OF THE COMBINED WINE SIGNIFIES THE COMMITMENT YOU NOW MAKE TO LIVE
YOUR LIVES AS ONE FAMILY.

THE YEARS OF OUR LIVES ARE LIKE A CUP OF WINE THAT IS POURED OUT FOR THE SAKE
OF LABOR, HONOR AND LOVE. MANY DAYS YOU WILL SIT AT THE SAME TABLE AND EAT
AND DRINK TOGETHER. MANY ARE THE EXPERIENCES YOU WILL SHARE. AS WITH A
GLASS OF WINE, ONE OF YOU MAY FIND IT SWEET, THE OTHER PERHAPS DRY OR
SOMEHOW DIFFERENT. LET THE DRINK YOU SHARE TODAY SERVE AS A REMINDER THAT
ALTHOUGH YOU MAY PERCEIVE THINGS VERY DIFFERENTLY, BEING RIGHT IS NEVER
MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING HAPPY. WITH THIS SPACE THAT YOU GIVE EACH OTHER,
ALWAYS PUTTING YOUR COMMITMENT TO LOVE AND HONOR ONE ANOTHER FIRST, YOUR
LIVES TOGETHER WILL GROW DEEPER, RICHER AND GREATLY SATISFYING, LIKE A RARE
AND FINE WINE.
11. PRAYER
IT IS SAID THAT A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE INVOLVES THREE HEARTS BECOMING ONE.
THE HEARTS OF THE HUSBAND, THE WIFE, AND GOD AT THE CENTER. SO LET US GIVE
THANKS TO THE ONE WHO MADE THIS ALL POSSIBLE, THE AUTHOR OF LIFE, LOVE AND
RELATIONSHIPS. OUR ONE TRUE GOD. TO LEAD US INTO PRAYER, AND ALSO TO SAY
GRACE BEFORE MEALS, LET US WELCOME ________ .
12. DINNER INSTRUCTIONS
THE FOOD IS NOW READY AND DINNER WILL COMMENCE SHORTLY. AT THIS POINT TO
MAINTAIN ORDER, EACH TABLE WILL BE REQUESTED TO PROCEED TO THE LOCATION OF
THE COUPLE FOR PICTORIAL. RIGHT AFTER THAT, THEY CAN LINE UP AT THE BUFFET
COUNTER TO GET THEIR DINNER. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE COORDINATORS TO APPROACH
YOUR TABLE.
13. MESSAGE FROM PARENTS
IT IS SAID THAT OUR PARENTS ARE OUR FIRST TEACHERS HAVING RAISED US PATIENTLY
FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD. THEY HAVE BEEN OUR SOURCE OF COMFORT,
SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION. WITHOUT THEM, OUR NEWLYWEDS WILL NOT BE HERE. LET
US WELCOME THE PARENTS OF THE COUPLE TO GIVE THEIR MESSAGE. WE HAVE MA
EMMA, MA ROSLIN, AND PA ESTONG.
14. SPEECHES (DURING DINNER)
IN ALL SENSE OF THE WORD GODPARENTS ARE GUARDIANS OF THE FAITH. THE BRIDE
AND GROOM SHOULD TREAT THIS ROLE NOT MERELY AS GIFT GIVERS DURING NUPTIALS;
BUT AS CO-SHARERS TO THE PROMISE OF A LIFETIME OF CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT. SO,
FOR THIS EVENING WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY DEAR TO OUR COUPLE TO SHARE
THEIR BLESSINGS. WE HAVE MAMA INDAY, BOY OCHO, AND ATE CECIL.
15. MESSAGE FROM FRIENDS
A WEDDING BRINGS TWO PEOPLE AND THEIR FRIENDS TOGETHER. IT REFRESHES THE
TIES AND TAKES FRIENDSHIPS TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
NOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED WITH MESSAGES FROM THE FRIENDS OF THE
COUPLE. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY SAW THE ROMANCE BETWEEN
GROOM AND BRIDE BLOSSOM INTO A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP. MAY WE CALL ON ____
AND ____ TO SHARE WITH ALL OF US A SHORT GLIMPSE ABOUT THE COUPLE.
16. SINGLES GAMES (BOUQUET TOSSING AND REMOVING OF GARTER)
THE BRIDE WILL DO THE BOUQUET TOSS FIRST AND THEN THE GROOM WILL DO THE
REMOVAL OF THE GARTER. THE WOMAN WHO CATCHES THE BOUQUET WILL THEN HAVE
TO SIT DOWN AND LET THE MAN WHO CAUGHT THE GARTER TO PUT ON SAID GARTER ON
HER LEG.
17. MESSAGE FROM COUPLE
THE NIGHT AND THIS RECEPTION HAVE ALMOST COME TO AN END BUT FOR OUR
NEWLYWEDS IT IS JUST A START OF THEIR NEW LIFE TOGETHER. AS WE EACH GO HOME,
MAY THIS DAY BE MEMORABLE FOR ALL OF US AS IT IS TO THEM. TO PERSONALLY
CONVEY THEIR HEARTFELT GRATITUDE LET US NOW LEND AN EAR TO THE NEWLYWEDS
VENZ AND JAZ CADORNA.
