So ladies and gentlemen, join me in toasting.
Wendell and Ivy, cheers!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Kiss! ...Kiss! ...Kiss!
[Guests cheers and applause]
Big round of applause please
Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to call on the mother of the bride
Dr. Heidi Doncillo-Centenera
to say a few words of wisdom to our new couple.
Anyway
Okay
Unprepared and unrehearsed.
Extemporaneous.
Okay. First of all, I would like to thank all the guests
all those who in one way or another are here tonight to be with us on this very day of our children.
To Ivy and Wendell,
I think this all what I can say:
Marriage is a journey
and it is not a walk in the park.
So I hope as you go on as a couple and as you live together,
all the trials, all the bumps and humps in life will make you stronger each day.
Stronger in love, stronger in faith. And...
Congratulations!
Happy landing but don't get crushed!
A big round of applause please.
Now next, we would like to call on the father of the groom
Mr. Nicolas Auman.
Good evening!
Thank you for climbing up here and
sacrificing for the sake of Ivy and Wendell.
And...
Thanks to Ivy
who I see is the architect of this wonderful evening.
We hope that Wendell and Ivy
as they travel on
in life's rough and smooth pathways,
when storm could occur,
just remember us.
Remember all the people here
gathered to wish you good luck.
Don't forget us. Don't forget the Lord and
I'm certain that you will walk through all the life's trials.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Auman!
Next, I would like to call on Mr. James Chapman
to say a few words of wisdom.
in behalf of our male principal sponsors.
While I talked to them on the computer a few times
but meeting them in person was a real joy
and I was struck at the time that
they're really seemed to be meant for each other and I just assumed that
they were already pretty much engaged.
So I was a little bit surprised a few weeks after I got home,
Ivy took me in confidence and said that she and Wendell are going to get married
and I guess I just assumed that they're already in the works.
but...
To the nicest people I've...
I've ever met and I wish them the best
and I love you both
as much as I love my own kids.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Sir.
And on behalf of our female sponsors, may I call on
Ms. Maria Janet Porcia.
I'm very happy that you made the decision to
tie the knot and start a new life together.
I think you were meant for each other.
I think the first time I saw you together
I really knew. I had the feeling that
there was something special between the two of you
You know? Remember that time?
So as your father said, I think the first thing if you just put God
in the center of your relationship, I think everything will be fine.
And, of course, both of you should work together.
It's a give and take relationship.
The love should be there and you should nurture each other,
the love that you have in your hands.
And good luck! God bless!
Thank you, Ma'am!
