And so, here we are at the B-Y the POND for the early dinner for our newlyweds in celebration of the beginning of their new life together. So sit down, relax and enjoy the rest of the hours as we make ourselves present today together with them.I am D-X LAPID I had been given the task by the newly-weds to be your host for today. We thank you all for giving your precious time in this blissful occasion especially to those of you who have made yourselves present today with us. MARRIAGE is the ultimate union of husband and wife. And the center of it is LOVE. It is love that serves as a creative driving force in order to attract two persons of different personalities to stick together, to understand each other, and to live with each no matter what, no matter how. This is the magic of love.Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill-mannered or does it seek its own interest. Love overcomes anger and forgets offenses. It does not take delight in wrong, but rejoices in truth. Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

In love we come to understand why even the impossible things are happening. Why even in the worst situations we calm, and why even despite of ones failure and frailties in life we appreciate the beauty of pains.Love seized the magic of living together and of sharing together. As love foretold its revelation, let us all prepare ourselves to give way to the entourageINTRODUCTION of the Bridal Entourage (20mins.)

Our ring bearer is Rj Burias.

(Coin bearer walks )To imbibe luck and blessings in the lives of the wedded couple we have the Coin bearer Joefel Omandam.

The arrhae or the coins were both given and received, not in a spirit of reciprocate but in a give and take relationship. Nowadays, the coins are a reminder that the couple will dedicate themselves to one another, support each other, their children and the world around them.
