Entourage Dress, Suits and Accessories. My wedding gown and his suit were bought in Tabora same with his parents dress. We asked men to wear coat and tie.

She also made my little boys outfit (Nakalibre lang Yey!) We just bought orange necktie for the Groomsmen.. (yun lang talaga sinagot namin hehe). For my flower girls they were bought ready made by their mothers basta nerequire ko na orange.

to good music while enjoying the sumptuous dinner.
Now, may I direct your focus on a
little flashback presentation here, prepared by Michelle Barquillo a dear
friend of the Bride and Groom.
V. WISHES AND
CHAMPAGNE TOAST

VI. CAKE CUTTING
Ely: Okay. So are you guys done with the main
course? Ready to go for dessert? By all means, help yourself.
Speaking of dessert,
it’s now time for the traditional Cake Cutting by the Bride and Groom Sherwin ,Sam
, can you guys join me here..
Bakit, may ganitong
eksena pag may kasal? Well, ayon sa aking research, the cake cutting symbolizes
the couple's unity, their shared future, and their life together as one.
There you have it,
ladies and gentlemen.
VII. TOSSING OF
GARTER AND BOUQUET
Mike: Instead of the
traditional way of tossing of the garter, we have something different. May I ask
our team assistants to proceed to distribute balloons to all the single
bachelors. The single bachelors should pop the balloon. There is one balloon
that contains a note and whoever gets that balloon is our lucky bachelor.
Ely: Ladies, please stay within the area as we now moving on to the tossing of
the bouquet. This tradition has been done over the years and is meant that
whoever catches the bouquet would have luck and protection. Nowadays, it has
simply evolved to imply that whoever caught the bouquet would be lucky and
would be wed next. But now, the Bride will simply distribute roses to the
single ladies and whoever receives the rose with a lucky note would be the
lucky winner of the bouquet.
Picture taking with Bachelor and Lucky Lady
May we request the chosen bachelor and the lucky lady to pose for a picture
with Groom ____ and Bride _______.
VIII. Shoe Game
Questions will be
provided by the coordinator.
IX Giving of Messages
Mike: May we call on
the Bride’s Maid of Honor Miss Sharon Rose Cleofas to give message to our
newlyweds.
And also the Groom’s brother, Mr. CJ
Torralba, may we hear few words for our lovely couple here.
X Tribute to Parents
Ely: It is said that
our parents are our first teachers, raising us patiently from childhood to
adulthood. They have been our source of
comfort, support and inspiration.
Sherwin and Sam are truly blessed
with such wonderful set of parents, and I’m quite sure when it comes to knowing
what marriage is all about, They always have a word or two to share to their
children. We would like to call on the
Mother of the Groom, Mrs. Josephine Torralba for a few words of wisdom.
And next, the Mother
of the Bride, Mrs. Guillerma Resurreccion, to give a message.
May we also call on
our Bride’s Guardian, her tita, Erlinda Deocariza.
Thank you for those heartwarming
and inspiring messages.
XI Dance

background, and the newlyweds invite their father/mother to dance)
Father/daughter and
Mother/son dance
First Dance
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 endeavor. As the saying goes, “It takes two to tango.”
Ladies and gentlemen, it is once again my privilege to present to you
