A very good afternoon to everyone and welcome to Don and Krizia’s

and we thank those people who were with us earlier for the wedding

down, relax and enjoy the rest of the day.

I am Ghie Cortez, and I’ll be your emcee for this event. We thank you all for
gracing this joyful occasion especially to those who have traveled many
miles just to be with us. In behalf of Don and Krizia and their parents, I
would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for your presence at this
memorable occasion. It is indeed a pleasure to have you all today.

 ENTRANCE OF THE COUPLE
And now the big moment, Ladies and Gentleman, our bride and groom
Krizia and Don! Doesn’t she look beautiful? She’s been practicing her
bouquet-throwing and hopes to give a good account of herself when the
moment comes. As for the groom, look at him! Guwapong-guwapo as
always. Ladies and Gentleman, a big hand for Don and Krizia. (wide
applause)

Thank you very much…let’s all be seated now. Truly, this event will be a
celebration of love… a feast of two hearts who vowed to stay forever no
matter what… Today’s program will be quite exciting for we will witness
some Ilocano wedding traditions exercised… as well as not your usual
bouquet and garter ceremonies.. which would be more fun and memorable.
Plus the sumptuous meal is already set. Aren’t you all excited?

CAKE CUTTING
At this point, I hope every ones 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.

DOVE KISSING TRADITION

This time let’s see them hold those two doves; please take them out of the
cage. Then, they will make those lovely dove kiss each other. PICTURE!!!

White doves are a symbol of joy, and since a wedding is a joyous occasion,
opening the bird's cage so that they can fly freely, or using photos of doves
in the day's decor is definitely appropriate. Superstition also suggests that
couples who see a pair of doves on their wedding day will have a blessed
marriage, which is a wonderful sentiment for the new couple to keep in
mind when starting a new life together.
WINE TOAST
This time, let’s fill our glasses with any drink that we could get and join the
newlywed couple for the symbolic wine toast.

Para sa mahabang pagsasama puno nang pagmamahalan, pag-uunawaan

at pagbibigayan, Krizia at Don maligayang bati at KAMPAY!!! Cheers
everyone!

BOUQUET CEREMONY
Now all the single ladies please come on down. Let’s do the bouquet game!
Sabi ko sa inyo kanina, hindi ito yung simpleng flower toss, kaya mas
exciting. Ngayung nandito na kayong lahat, kukuha kayo ng flower stems
from the bride. Sige pumili kayo. Ang hindi kumuha uupo diyan sa hotseat!
Hehe

At this point, after you chose your flower stems, listen carefully, here’s the
catch. The lady with the longest stem is the chosen one! Sino ang
maswerteng babae?

GARTER GAME
Let’s call on this time all the gentlemen! Sige po punta kayo sa unahan.
Now, I have here, bottles of beer. Masusubukan kung sino ang malakas
uminom. Hehe, in two minutes time, paunahan kayong maubos o ma-
consume yang mga beer ninyo. One, two, three. Ok, sinong unang naubos.
Palakpakan. Sino ang konti lang ang naconsume? Ikaw, ang maswerteng
good boy!

Before we go on with the Garter Toss, the groom is to retrieve the garter
from his bride. So may we request Don and Krizia to please come at center
stage and do the garter retrieval ritual. Thanks guys.

(A chair is brought onstage for the bride to sit. while groom kneels down at
the bride's feet ready to retrieve the garter)

Ladies and gentleman the groom will now retrieve the garter from the
bride.

(Groom retrieves the garter from the bride.)

There you have it ladies and gentlemen; the groom was finally able to
retrieve the garter. Let us give him a big hand.
 PUTTING THE GARTER ON THE LADY’S LEG.
Alright, let’s have the pair here. Lady, kindly take your seat. Gentleman,
you are now going to put the garter on her legs.

( Higher, higher- then kiss is requested )

( Pictorial with Couple )

Pictorial / Dinner Lunch

Well I guess the food is now ready and lunch will commence shortly. At this
point to maintain order, I’ll be calling your table number and the people
from that table will be going to the location of the couple for pictorial. Right
after that they can now proceed and line up at the buffet counter to get their
lunch.
