Good morning ladies and gentlemen. May I have your attention please.

We are about to begin

our program for this wedding reception so please locate your respective seats and make yourself
comfortable. You may take photos and can post it to social media using our official hashtag
____________________________________________. Thank you very much. I’ll be right back.

Getting married in the middle of an emerging pandemic is an entirely new

challenge for many couples. However, even during the toughest times, love will always
prevail. Nothing could keep anyone from marrying the love of their life, not even a global
pandemic.
A very wonderful day ladies and gentlemen, friends and loved ones, welcome to
Christian Savior and Racella Anne wedding luncheon. Here we are on this lovely
reception at the Barangay Amphitheater of Quimalabasa Sur, San Agustin, Isabela for
our newly wed’s celebration of the beginning of their life together.

I am JM, and I’ll be your host for today’s celebration.

So again, reminding everyone to please observe health protocols.

Ladies, gentlemen, friends and loved ones, in behalf of the newlyweds and their
parents, we would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude for your presence at this
memorable occasion. It is indeed a pleasure to have you all this day. So, sit down, relax
and let us enjoy the rest of the day.

ENTRANCE OF THE COUPLE

Indeed, today we have witnessed two people who never gave up on each other
and remained strong amid the storm. Now, they have chosen to seal their love with the
sacred sacrament of marriage.

Celebrating the love of Christian Savior & Racella Anne may look a little different
this time of CoViD19 pandemic. However, celebrating this special milestone moment with
their family, friends and with people most important to them is what matters most and
today calls for a grand celebration and it is my distinct pleasure to introduce them to you
for the very first time this day as husband and wife. So, without further ado, ladies and
gentleman let us all rise and give our warmest welcome to Mr and Mrs Christian Savior
Acio & Racella Ann Domingo - Acio.

THE 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, let us welcome ____________________________.

"No relationship is all sunshine but two people can share one umbrella and survive
the storm together."

You know ladies and gentlemen, like other relationships the love story of this
lovely couple had been through with ups and downs. As a high school sweetheart, there
are many chances of heart aches, losing your partner. But Savior and Xia for almost 9
years as boyfriend and girlfriend they proved it na may FOREVER!!!

Truly, this momentous event marks a milestone of two hearts beginning a beautiful
lifelong commitment. It is a celebration of love… a feast of two hearts who vowed to stay
forever no matter what…
