couple. On this joyful beginning what could be more fitting than to celebrate it with their first
dance.

their first dance.

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 fulfil each other’s needs,
creating a bond so simple and yet so strong…

9. THE 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, may you remember this day of commitment you
have sealed with drinking of the new wine joining your lives as one.

10. 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 Mr. Benito Ibanez.

11. DINNER INSTRUCTIONS

growing up. A glimpse of their lives before they found each other, and how they’ve
transformed and blossomed to who they are now.
Friends, the growing up video. Let’s watch this.
13. MESSAGE FROM GODPARENTS (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.

And the godparents to give their message to the couple, let’s welcome Mr. Benito Ibanez and
Mrs. Pcita E. Atos.

Thank you for your wisdom, a round of applause for Mr. Benito Ibanez and Mrs. Pcita E. Atos.

14. MESSAGE FROM FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND CHILDREN

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, relatives and children of the
couple. These are the people who literally saw the romance between the groom and bride
blossom into a serious relationship. May we call on _________, __________, and __________
to share with all of us what their messages to the couple.

This time, let’s fill our glasses with any drink that we can get and join the Best Man for the
symbolic wine toast, let’s call in Mr. Waraphong Carnachapa. (remind the best man that for
the toast he should end with something like – ‘let’s all stand and raise our glasses, Here’s to
long life, love and happiness! Cheers!”
