Hi Gelo and Ghelo,

I asked Ghelo a few months ago which songs he suggested for the ceremony and these were Ghelo’s
suggestions:

 Entrance: Let there be praise


 Kyrie: Lord have mercy
 Gloria: Papuri sa diyos (misa inmaculada)
 Alelluia: alelluia (antonio)
 Offertory: Now is the time
 Holy: Santo (Lucio san pedro)
 Acclamation: We remember
 Amen: AMEN by phil. Madrigal
 Pater Noster: our father by Andrea Bocelli w/ Choir
 Agnus dei: Lamb of God by phil. Madrigal singers
 Communion: Song of Ruth

I confirmed with Agnes of Empire Weddings, and she mentioned because there is a wedding at 4PM, we
usually don’t sing the other parts of the mass because it will extend the time of our ceremony. These are her
suggestions on which parts to sing:

1. Entourage Song
2. Bridal March
3. Alleluia
4. Offertory
5. Amen
6. The Lord’s Prayer
7. Communion

Based on your suggested songs, her feedback is:

 Entrance: Let there be praise - No need (replaced by the Entourage March and Bridal March)
 Kyrie: Lord have mercy - No need
 Gloria: Papuri sa diyos (misa inmaculada) - No need
 Alelluia: alelluia (antonio) - Yes
 Offertory: Now is the time - Yes
 Holy: Santo (Lucio san pedro) - No need. But if you really want, may be included.
 Acclamation: We remember - No need. But if you really want, may be included.
 Amen: AMEN by phil. Madrigal - Yes
 Pater Noster: our father by Andrea Bocelli w/ Choir – Yes
 Agnus dei: Lamb of God by phil. Madrigal singers - No need
 Communion: Song of Ruth - Yes

Note: Could we also play some instrumental orchestral music while waiting for the entourage march to begin?
Assuming we have time, of course.
So essentially, this is our current lineup as we are removing the songs for the portions of the mass Agnes
suggested:

1. Entourage Song: Bless the broken road


Original version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-vZlrBYLSU
 Preferred in terms of voicing
 Full orchestra, please if possible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPaU7jJvqRc (girl and boy version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USq8_n9l7JY (2 boy version)

2. Bridal March: I see the light


Original version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYbHzzWmKUs
Voctave version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLMeDUBKmBs
 Preferred version in terms of voicing. Can we start as acapella then shift to full orchestra at
the chorus?

*For the songs to be sang during the mass, may I please request for English songs and those that feature the
choir (and orchestra, if possible)  Because the theme of the wedding is Royal Wedding, the angelic voices of
your choir members will surely set the mood (and amaze our guests!). We prefer English (or if you can do Latin
or Italian OMG go haha), for the benefit of our American guests. I’m sorry I am not familiar with your
suggested songs, but if these are your best songs, ok with me of course. If Director Gelo would like to change
any of the songs Ghelo suggested here, ok with me as well. Kindly take note of Agnes’ suggestion to not sing
very long songs to keep with the timing of our mass.

3. Kyrie: No song

4. Gloria: No song

5. Alleluia - Alelluia (Antonio)

6. Offertory – Now is the time

7. Holy - Santo (Lucio san pedro) - Agnes mentioned this is optional. If the song/hymn is not too long,
let’s go for it. Otherwise we will remove.

8. Acclamation - We remember – Similarly, Agnes mentioned this is optional. If the song/hymn is not
too long, let’s go for it. Otherwise we will remove.

9. Amen - AMEN by Phil. Madrigal Singers

10. Pater Noster - Our father by Andrea Bocelli with Choir

11. Agnus dei /Lamb of God – No song

12. Communion - Song of Ruth – Agnes suggests to add one more communion song, just in case

13. First kiss – Secrets (One Republic, chorus, full orchestra)

Our many, many thanks, and we look forward to listen to you at our wedding.

All our best,


Nick and Mara
