The following is a customary Filipino wedding. It can be modified to suit your needs and desires.
The order of service is to assist you in identifying what you would like to have in your wedding service. While there are many parts, the object is to have a flow to the service which would look seamless and authentic. The wedding itself is YOUR wedding and is most beautiful, when it best reflects who you are as individuals. Be as creative and personalize the material as you want in the planning of your wedding. Keep in mind that there are three basic elements that you and I would be looking for in your marriage service. They are dignity, warmth and beauty, and together we will endeavor to make it the experience which will live in your hearts always.
