Dove Release

The two doves signify Reagan and Lovely being released to start a new life and journey together. Like two pairs of
dove, whatever happens they will always try to seek the comfort of each other. A dove always chooses only one
mate for life and signifies love, faithfulness and hope.

May I have the newlyweds please and release the dove in my que. Lezzdudiszz!

free to get your food at the buffet table, and please, enjoy your meal. Thank you!

Alright, so lets move on to our next stop. A wedding is not complete without traditions. The first one must be the
cutting of the wedding cake.
Cutting of Cake

May I request Reagan and Lovely to prepare for the cake ceremony. The cake, which has been a part of wedding
celebrations since the Roman times, it is a symbol of good luck and fertility. The sharing of this food symbolizes the
couples willingness to fulfill each others needs, creating a bond so simple and yet so strong.

Wine Toast

Our next tradition is the wine tossing. Raising a glass together is a way for everyone to share in wishing good health

better future and the best life possible for them. Lets join them in their fervent wishes through good fellowship and
camaraderie, love and happiness.

Reception Program EMCEE Script

Below is a reception party script I used in one of the Christian Weddings I have hosted.

Joel and Iby

Introduction:
God is love and in some mysterious ways drawn two people together in love. Today, love has triumph and has
manifested in the lives of (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name). Today, we have witnessed the promise sanctified
and blessed by the mighty source of love Jesus Christ.

I welcome all of you to this banquet. This is a festivity of union. Two separate individuals have found each other, tie
the knot to become one we therefore have to celebrate. Good morning. I'm ( Lorenzo M. Caballes, Jr.) , I'm your
host.

Grace Before Meals:

As we partake the bounties (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) have prepared for us, let us invoke the presence of
the Lord and thank HIM once more for His constant provision. (Prayer Leader) will say the grace before meals.

The bond of marriage is a symbol itself. God created marriage as a symbol of His infinite love to his people, that we
may also share it with our family and to others.

In the same manner, a matrimonial ceremony would not be complete if without the observance of several wedding
traditions. As we formally send off (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) to their voyage bound to the next chapter of
their lives as husband and wife, there's no other way of wishing them well but to pray for a smooth travel. Let our
prayers be heard as we perform several matrimonial traditions in a unique Filipino way.

Slicing of Cake:

The cake is a symbol of a happy married life that the couple would enjoy from this day forward. Let us pray that
(Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) will continue to share the sweetness of love, that they will continue to live
together with their hearts pure of joy in serving the Lord as husband and wife and as a family.

Sharing of Wine:

The wine that the couple is about to share is a representation of life's adversities. Life indeed is not a bed of roses, as
(Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) drink the wine, they affirm their pledge of loyalty and fidelity even in the most
trying times of their married life. Let us pray that during these moments, they will cling to no one but to the Lord, the
very foundation of their love.

Releasing of Doves:

The doves symbolize freedom and commitment. The release of these doves would symbolize (Groom's Name) and
(Bride's Name) letting go o their single life. Let us pray that like the doves, they will commit themselves to come
home at the end of the day no matter where their footsteps take them.

Messages

Before we depart, here's for (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) and for all of us: Marriage is not a ritual or an
end. It is a long , intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance.

Congratulations and Best Wishes, Mr. and Mrs. (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name).
