Welcome Address

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It
does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, al-
ways trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." CORINTHIANS 13:4-8
In a world full of endless uncertainties, love is the one constant guiding us through.
And, we have to treat love like it truly is sacred.
Indeed, today we have witnessed two people who never gave up on each other and
remained strong amid the storm. Now, they have chosen to seal their love with the sa-
cred sacrament of marriage.
A pleasant afternoon to everyone! Welcome to the celebration of Jason and Kim’s
Greatest Day Ever. This venue is indeed a fitting setting for our newlyweds as we mark
the beginning of their life together. So, sit, down, enjoy the cool breeze, and enjoy the
rest of the day.
I am (your name) your host for the day. We thank you all for gracing this occasion,
especially those who took a leave of absence from work or school, and those who have
traveled miles just to be with us today. In behalf of Jason and Kim, and their proud par-
ents, I would like to express heartfelt gratitude for your presence today. It is indeed a
pleasure to have you all here.
