A wedding brings two people and their families together. It refreshes the family ties and

We would like to acknowledge the presence of families and friends who took their time just to
be here. We would like to acknowledge the key persons who took a great part of this joyous

Entrance of the Bride and Groom

 At this point I assume that everyone has settled down and we are all ready to welcome
the newlyweds. Pero bago po natin sila I welcome, may I request everyone na tumayo po tayo.
Hawakan po natin ang ating mga table napkins. Sige po pakikuha po natin ang ating mga table
napkins and may I request everyone na kapag tinawag ko na, and as they enter this hall, paki-
wagayway po natin ang ating mga table napkins so that we can welcome them with a blast. At
siyempre po habang hindi pa sila nakakarating dito sa harapan, magrerequest po ako ng walang
pahingahan na palakpakan at sigawan to show that we are really excited for their wedding
today.

Alam niyo po kasi, sa buhay ng mga bagong kasal, it’s not just about them, it is also
about you! Kasi alam niyo po, sa dinami-dami ng kakilala nila, kayo po ang Napili nilang
makasama today! Kaya naman po, ipakita natin na tayo ay maligaya.

Brief Love story ( BACKGROUND SONG : CANON PIANO VERSION)

Richard and Jemaica, also known as RC and Maica, have known each other since 2015.
They studied at the same University and crossed each other’s paths many times and exchanged
a lot of smiles and greetings as friends when they were students. Two souls forged a deep
connection as friends.

Fate had to part their ways when Richard entered the Officer Candidate School. A young
and ambitious military cadet found himself captivated by the spirited and intelligent Maica
during his time at the military school. RC had a heart, full of secret feelings for his longtime
friend. Time passed and RC graduated from the military school as a Second Lieutenant. He
received an order for deployment that required him to relocate to another part of the country.

One day, before a particularly demanding assignment, RC mustered the courage to

express his feelings for Maica. He chatted her and spoke from the heart, expressing how Maica
had become the melody to his every song, the color in his otherwise ordinary days. He
nervously awaited her response, and to his delight, Maica had been wrestling with similar
feelings but feared jeopardizing the beautiful friendship they had built.

Technology became their ally, bridging the gap between islands. Video calls turned into
virtual dates, allowing them to share meals, watch movies together, and even experience each
other's daily lives. They became experts in navigating the challenges of different time zones,
finding joy in waking up to sweet messages or going to sleep to the sound of each other's voice.

Their relationship grew stronger with each passing day, as they learned to communicate
openly and trust each other completely. Their long-distance love story became a testament to
the resilience of commitment and the strength that can be found in love that knows no bounds.

Their love story, forged through the challenges of distance and military service, became
a testament to the resilience of love in the face of adversity. Richard and Jemaica’s journey
showed that when two hearts are committed to a shared dream, no amount of distance or duty
can extinguish the flame of love.

Bridal Waltz – First Dance

Tonight is indeed a special night and will forever be etched in the hearts of our beloved
couple. For tonight marks the beginning of their new life together. From this day forward they
shall be one, and on this joyful beginning what could be more fitting than to celebrate it with
their First Dance. The First Dance is symbolic of the consummation of their wedding vows. This
Dance is the wedding couples' first cooperative engagement and joint endeavour. As the saying
goes, “It takes two to tango.” Ladies and gentlemen, it is once again my privilege to present to
you Mr and Mrs CAC with their First Dance.

(SONG: DANDELIONS )
(They will dance)

ladies and gentlemen…. find your purses and wallets and make this as your chance to financially
bless our couple. As they will enter the marriage life, they will be needing a starting fund to
sustain the needs of each and to the family that they will be going to build. As a famous
quotation would say, SHARING is CARING. So come on now, let’s financially bless this couple.
