It
was a Catholic wedding done outdoor and heard that the officiating priest was
given permission to do it in a garden. It seems like a civil wedding but
complete with the processional march, bridal march, marriage vows and a
combination of Catholic and Christian music and the usual declaraion of
marriage done in a Christian way.
The
wedding ceremony was a touching one with careful choices of words delivered by
the priest, meaningful and felt by the couple and both relatives of the groom
and the bride. It was an intimate celebration of about hundred guests with
close friends and some Americans who came far to grace such a momentous affair.
Music list for
both ceremony and reception was delivered by members of Augustine Music and Events doing
the requested music of the couple like Runaway
during the processional march and From
This Moment for the bridal march. They were so wonderful to watch and
really happy being together. The groom has that silent charm and palpable
breeding and the young bride exudes that childish demeanor and fun-loving
nature.
Being
the program host for the prepared wedding reception program, I followed it to
the T and had fun doing so. I enjoyed the part where the couple wanted to
involve some guests and opted for a trivia game where the first ones to hand me
the thing asked, the winner got special token from the couple. I did three of
those. Also, when I asked the groom to dance a sexy dance proceeding to the
bride for the garter removal and he did. I also enjoyed the moment with the
chosen luckiest lady from the game and being an American, she obliged to
everything I asked her to do. Such fun. It was a casual program flow and
intended doing it for mere fun.
The
best part of it all is that nobody left until the program was done. There was
an open bar and most guests got their drinks. It was open, so they kept asking
for more and I had four Sangria drink and Orange Raspberry. It perked me in
some manner but made me up to my toes.
The
good thing about wedding receptions is the meeting of old and new friends, of
course not discounting the presence of mostly relatives from far and near
joining the wonderful bash and enjoying the moment with the newlyweds.
For
me, performing for a wedding seems therapy. It erases boredom temporarily and
merely sharing joy during the wedding ceremony and reception with wedding music
and songs is enough to say that we are dedicated performers.
