Re: Debut Script MELLIE GRACE AT 18 NOV.

27, 2010 SMALLVILLE 21 HOTEL Mandurriao, Iloilo City INTRODUCTION OF THE DEBUTANTE Good evening ladies and gentlemen and especially to our young ladies and young gentlemen who are present to celebrate this special day for the CANONG and BELICENA family. Their baby, MELLIE GRACE is now a very fine young lady as she turns 18. Friends, let us all welcome our debutante with our warm applause. (Let the debutante stand on the center stage and wait there for her two gifts from her parents: earrings from the mother and ring/necklace from the father.) Angie is presented with 2 special gifts. Earrings are to remind her to listen to the words of God and her parents; and to listen and respond appropriately to the world around her as she turns into a young lady. A ring/necklace signifies her faith in God, herself and the world. It represents the never ending cycle of life. A symbol of the unending stage of womanhood and her abilities and future contributions to the community. WELCOME REMARKS BY THE PARENTS SLIDESHOW PRESENTATION ( Part I) Baby / Childhood Pictures PRAYER OF THANKS At this point, Mrs. Elizabeth Belicena ( the mother of the debutant) will lead the prayer of thanks. DINNER: Enjoy the food.ladies and gentlemen.

INTERMISSION: Karl and Ping Canong (mother and son tandem), Jethro Mark Jerez (2nd cousin of the debutant), Ping Canong THE 18 ROSES 18th birthday marks the end of teenage and the beginning of adulthood. It is a very special day in every one's life because on this a person cherishes the old moments filled with love, care and shelter but now the person is moving towards adulthood where she will be loaded with responsibilities and independence of thought and expression. As the debutante receives her 18 roses let it be a reminder that like the rose life is beautiful, however, there are thorns that signify that life isnt that easy for there are problems to be faced. It is up to her how she will handle these hurdles with the support of her family and friends. Music please (call the names one by one for the 18 roses). (Call the names one by one for the 18 roses.)
