2. Welcome Address

A wonderful evening to everyone, welcome to Claribert and Mycel Reception. We had just
concluded the solemn part of the newly-wed couples nuptial. And for those who just join in,
Welcome! And so, here we are at the B-Y the POND for the early dinner for our newlyweds in
celebration of the beginning of their new life together.
So sit down, relax and enjoy the rest of the hours as we make ourselves present today
together with them.
I am D-X LAPID I had been given the task by the newly-weds to be your host for today. We
thank you all for giving your precious time in this blissful occasion especially to those of you
who have made yourselves present today with us.
MARRIAGE is the ultimate union of husband and wife. And the center of it is LOVE. It is love
that serves as a creative driving force in order to attract two persons of different personalities
to stick together, to understand each other, and to live with each no matter what, no matter
how. This is the magic of love.
Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill-mannered or does it
seek its own interest. Love overcomes anger and forgets offenses. It does not take delight in
wrong, but rejoices in truth. Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, and
endures all things.

In love we come to understand why even the impossible things are happening. Why even in
the worst situations we calm, and why even despite of ones failure and frailties in life we
appreciate the beauty of pains.
Love seized the magic of living together and of sharing together. As love foretold its revelation,
let us all prepare ourselves to give way to the entourage
INTRODUCTION of the Bridal Entourage (20mins.)

no end. It also symbolizes the Grooms declaration of his intention to love his bride forever.

- (Coin bearer walks )To imbibe luck and blessings in the lives of the wedded couple we
have the Coin bearer J oefel Omandam.

other in carrying out their responsibilities as a couple.

3. First Dance and Money Dance - favorite song of the couple (5mins.)

The couple may have danced too much and savoured those dances, but what makes
their dance today special and different is of course because as new husband and wife
they share it with love and passion being fascinated with joy as they swing their spirit

joy. Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you Claribert and Mycel for their First
