WORDS FROM FRIENDS
Now, I would like to proceed with some speeches from the friends of the couple. These are the people who literally saw the romance between Ep-ep and Lang-lang blossom into a serious relationship. May we call on Ms/ Mr. ______________________________ to share with all of us what she/he know about the couple.
Speech from friends commences.
GUEST CARDS / SIGNATURE FRAME
Family, friends and guests, please do not forget to sign the guest cards that were given to you upon your arrival. Pens are available on the table. These guest cards will be collected later on when we distribute the souvenirs.
TRADITIONS
A wedding is not complete without traditions. I would like to move on to the first tradition, the cutting of the cake.
1. Cutting of the Cake
May I request Ep-ep and Lang-lang to prepare for the cake cutting ceremony. The cake, which has been a part of wedding celebrations since the Roman times, is a symbol of good luck and fertility. 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.
Before we proceed to the next tradition, may I call on Mr/ Ms _______________________ to share more of their personal experiences with the newlyweds.
Speech from friends commences.
2. Champagne Toast
Our next tradition is the champagne toasting. Raising a glass together is a way for everyone to share in wishing good health and happiness to the newlyweds. As the champagne is poured, our newlyweds now make wishes for their good fortune, a better future and the best life possible for them. I would like to invite everyone to raise their glasses to Groom and Bride and join them in their fervent wishes through good fellowship and camaraderie, love and happiness.
May we now call on the Best man, Mr. ________________, to lead the champagne toasting.
3. Tossing of the garter/ Cake charms/ Tossing of the bouquet
Instead of the traditional way of tossing of the garter, we have something different. May I ask our team assistants to proceed to the assigned areas to distribute balloons to all the single bachelors. The single bachelors should pop the balloon. There is one balloon that contains the garter and whoever gets that balloon is out lucky bachelor. Team assistant, please escort the lucky bachelor to the stage.
While the gentlemen are popping the balloons, may we call on all the single ladies to proceed to the stage to get the cake charms. Team assistants, please round up all the single women and escort them to the stage.
(After the cake charms)
Ladies, please stay within the area as we now moving on to the tossing of the bouquet. This tradition has been done over the years and is meant that whoever catches the bouquet would have luck and protection. Nowadays, it has simply evolved to imply that whoever caught the bouquet would be lucky and would be wed next. So now may we ask all the single ladies to occupy the designated area before you for the ceremonial tossing of the bouquet. The single ladies will form a circle and we will do a trip to Jerusalem bouquet tossing. We will play music and as the music stops, whoever is holding the bouquet, is the lucky lady.
4. Picture taking with Bachelor and Lucky Lady
May we request the chosen bachelor and the lucky lady to pose for a picture with Ep-ep and Lang-lang.
Before we proceed to the next wedding tradition, we have here somebody who would like to render a song for the couple. May I call on Mr./Ms. __________________________________
Title of the song: ___________________________
5. Money Dance
It has been our tradition to have a Money Dance in every wedding events, not just for us Filipinos but still in some other countries around the globe they also practice this traditions, for us we call it as Ap-ap or money Dance, and some call it a Dollar Dance. The money collected from it, is very helpful for the couple to use to start for their new life.

“A winner is someone who recognizes their God-given talents, works his tail off to develop into skills, and uses those skills to accomplish his goals. Even when lost, He learned what his weaknesses were and went out the next day to turn those weaknesses into strengths.â€
Once again, good afternoon everyone!
