    Aside from the cash incentive they also received wedding gifts and tokens from the Mayor, Civil Registrar’s Office and the City.
    A simple yet unique ceremony with sunshine yellow and apple green motif reception was prepared for the couples which included the throwing of bouquet and bachelor’s garter, releasing of dove, slicing of cake, and of toasting of wine.
