I cant find my copy for the Rose ceremony. Copied this from my friend's computer instead.
Ask your officiating priest to say your name istead of "bride and groom".

Hope this helps.

Rose Ceremonies
Though more prevalent in Western weddings, you may also like to incorporate rose ceremonies in your wedding as an added special touch.
In the past, and even now, the rose has always been considered a symbol of love. A single rose always meant only one thing - it meant "I love you."

The rose ceremonies could take place after couple has been pronounced as husband and wife.

For the first rose ceremony, the bride and groom offers each other a single, preferably, red rosebud. This symbolizes the giving and receiving of their love for each other throughout their entire married life.

For the rose ceremony, the following script could be recited by your priest:
"Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings - which shall always be an outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect; and a public showing of your commitment to each other.
You now have what remains the most honorable title which may exist between a man and a woman - the title of "husband" and "wife." For your first gift as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose.

In the past, the rose was considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant only one thing - it meant the words "I love you." So it is appropriate that for your first gift - as husband and wife - that gift would be a single rose.

Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife. In some ways it seems like you have not done anything at all. Just a moment ago you were holding one small rose - and now you are holding one small rose. In some ways, a marriage ceremony is like this. In some ways, tomorrow is going to seem no different than yesterday. But in fact today, just now, you both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life - one I hope you always remember - the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage.

Bride and Groom, I would ask that where ever you make your home in the future - whether it be a large and elegant home - or a small and graceful one - that you both pick one very special location for roses; so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may take a rose to that spot both as a recommitment to your marriage - and a recommitment that THIS will be a marriage based upon love.

In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words. It is easiest to hurt who we most love. It is easiest to be most hurt by who we most love. It might be difficult some time to words to say "I am sorry" or "I forgive you"; "I need you" or "I am hurting". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, leave a rose at that spot which both of you have selected - for that rose than says what matters most of all and should overpower all other things and all other words.

Bride and Groom, if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure."

The second rose ceremony has the bride and groom offering roses to their mothers. The roses serve as tokens of gratitude for their mothers' unfailing and unconditional love.
Consult your officiating priest about including these rose ceremonies in your wedding.

hmmm....

tumahimik yata.

hopefully, the group will get more members to sign up.. i found some things here that are useful. the other egroup that im a member with has lots of info too but sometimes i get confused na rin since there are so many as in MANY members talking to you.

not sure if this will be allowed. better siguro if you ask your officiating minister is they will allow you to have this as part of your wedding ceremony.

i guess you can go without the traditions... more on dinner and dancing lang siguro ang mangyayari sa reception nyo

when we attended a wedding in chicago, after the dj introduced the entourage, the couple's favorite song was played and that was their cue for their grand entrance... and to our surprice they did their 1st dance as they entered the ballroom.

we attended a party the other day... the hosts were running late good thing they had pritchon to serve.. SARAP!!!

I like paco park too... because it's near, it has personality, no need to pay the photographer out of town rate, a lot of places to take pictures.

down side.... comfort rooms need to be cleaned.

i found this in the net.. Jardin de Miramar

reception and catering

provide guest sheets that will entertain your guests and leave messages for you to read after your reception is over.

it would be best to get a coordinator who you can really work with. dont get a coordinator just because she's your friend or because their rates are pretty low. get someone who can really do their work.
