the knot in their place! Theres a sobering thought.

Emmeline Walker our first bridesmaid. Gentlemen, Emmeline is single and taking a

`Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen.

Best Man's Toast to the Bride and the Groom

`Ladies and Gentlemen, a moments pause for the best man Orlando Jones. As you
all know, it is customary for the best man to reveal rare insights into the make-up of
the groom, to share with us, the inklings and foibles that make our beloved groom
Derek, the man he is. In other words, an expos! Ladies and Gentlemen, the best
man!

Bridal Waltz - First Dance

`Ladies and Gentlemen, we now come to that very special part of every wedding
party, steeped in symbolism. The Bridal Waltz. This is the moment when the groom
walks his bride to the dance floor and they begin a dance that will last the rest of
their lives. Put your hands together for Winona and Derek as they begin their special
waltz as husband and wife.

Bouquet Throw
`Ok now its time for a little fun, because its time for the traditional throwing of the
Bouquet. For those of you whove seen the running of the bulls at Pamplona, its a
little similar. Theres always a little risk for the lasses determined to get the bouquet
in their clutches. Its also the real reason you see so many high heels shoes tonight.
As you know, traditionally the young lady who successfully catches the bouquet in
mid-flight is a certainty to make her own way down the aisle.

Id like to request all the single ladies to step forward for the bouquet throw. The
married ladies whove sneaked on, dont be greedy. This is for single women only.
Our lovely and charming bride Winona has been practising this throw all summer, so
give yourselves some elbow room.

(to the bride) `Winona, if youd be so kind..

(INSTRUCTIONS: Emcee bravely motions all the

single ladies forward)

`Ladies take your place behind the bride and be prepared to jump high. Fortune
favors the brave! At the count of three, the bride will throw her bouquet. Ladies and
gentlemen, lets all count together.

Are you ready Ladies? Would you just look at the concentration. Theres some
determined women out there. The countdown! One, Two, Three! What a throw,
ladies and gentlemen.

(Bride throws the bouquet and it is caught)

We have a winner! Well have the Best Man cleaned and brought to your table later.

Garter Toss

Ladies and Gentlemen, heres where things get serious. Its time for the Garter toss.
I understand some of the guys jumping for the garter have been in training for
months. Underneath those tuxedos, were talking washboard abs, bulging biceps,
nerves of steel. Weve got Olympic gymnasts, high-jumpers, Morris dancers. These
guys are ripped and ready to rumble! Remember gentlemen this is serious business.
The guy who catches the garter is destined for the altar next!

Now while the groom retrieves the garter, dont let any of those garter jumpers melt
into the crowd.

We have the garter. Get ready gentlemen.

(Groom throws the garter and it is caught)

We have another winner! We have the next groom. I hope that preacher hasnt left
the room. Lets hear it for our winners. (wide applause)

Message of Thanks from the Newlyweds Groom

Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand by for a few words of thanks from our new
Groom, Derek McGregor.

Closing Remarks

Well I guess thats about everything ladies and gentlemen we have finally come to
the end of our program. It has been a great day and a wonderful evening with you
all. Again thank you all for your presence. God bless and Goodnight to each and
everyone.
