ARESTIDES & ESTELITA MATRIO

GOLDEN WEDDING RECEPTION

Introductory Spiels

"True marriage is more than joining the bonds of marriage of two persons; it is the union of two
hearts. It lives on the love you give each other and never grows old, but thrives on the joy of each
new day. Marriage is love”.

Good morning everyone and welcome to ARESTIDES & ESTELITA MATRIO’s golden
wedding anniversary. We are done with the solemn part of the celebration and we thank you all
who were with us earlier at the Divine Saviour Parish.

And for those who just joined in, WELCOME!

And so, here we are gathering for another exciting part –the Reception for our celebrators, Tatay
& Teddy and Mama Tita in celebration of the blessing and grace of their lives as husband and
wife for 50 long years. So sit down, relax, and enjoy the rest of the day.
