Photo Opp/Table Hopping

A wedding does not only bring two people together but it often
reunites families and friends who might have not seen each other
for months or even years. Weddings are indeed a high time for
meet-and-greet. So let us acknowledge the presence of our most
important guests. (Acknowledge guests from each table)

A reminder to everyone who took pictures, taking pictures at the

moment and those who will be taking pictures, don’t forget to use
the hashtag (#) BrixFoundHisJoyWithKaren. Alright, let’s move on!

FIRST DANCE OF THE COUPLE

Today is indeed a special moment, and will be forever etched in the
memory of our beloved couple. On this joyful beginning what could be
more fitting than to celebrate it with their first dance.

The first dance is symbolic of the consummation of their wedding

vows. This dance is the wedding couples’ first cooperative
engagement and joint endeavor. Ladies and gentlemen, it is once
again our privilege to present to you Mr and Mrs. Nicolas in their
first dance.

As a wedding tradition, let us have the couple on the dance floor for
their first dance. You may send your best wishes by pinning bills on
the couples' dresses.
Prayer before Meals (Optional ito. Pwedeng last o mauuna
depende sa time)
We have not reached half way of the program yet but pretty sure
that some of us are already famished. Since we need the energy to
carry out all the tasks later, let us all stand as we offer thanksgiving
to our Lord for the bountiful banquet we are about to share.

CAKE CUTTING CEREMONY

May we request the couple to 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…

WINE CEREMONY
A celebration is never complete without a toast and a bottle of good
wine. May we call on the Bestman, Mr. ______________ for the
symbolic wine toast.
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. May you remember this day of commitment
you have sealed with drinking of the new wine joining your lives as
one.

(Spiel: 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.)
