"In the count of three!" Tricia exclaims when she turns her back on the group of women in the front and prepares to toss her bridal bouquet.
Given the fact that renewal of vows took place, the couple decided to include wedding traditions within their celebration, one of which was the bouquet toss.
Tricia kept pretending to throw the bouquet in favor of making the audience go crazier than usual while keeping up with the music.
"Come on, Trish!" The ladies exclaimed, ecstatic.
"Alright!" Tricia declares, "1... 2... 3!" and eventually toss her bouquet.
The ladies shrieked in delight, and every single woman went berserk in capturing the bouquet, whereas the crowd seemed to have been expecting to see who would receive it.
"Oh my g! I snagged it!" Halley exclaimed, triumphantly waving the bridal flowers that had practically all of them smiling at her.
Tricia had not expected and would not have planned for that, but she was delighted and wrapped her arms around her daughter.
"H*ll no! That's not going to happen!" They all heard the protest.
Vince was the one who emerged abruptly on the scene, confronting his mag-ina and trying to reclaim the bouquet from their daughter, knowing how this bouquet tossing works.
"She's not allowed to have this," he stated emphatically.
Tricia chuckled as she yanked on his shoulders, "Vince, honey."
"What's wrong if I caught it, Papa bean?" Smirked Halley.
"I know exactly how this works; whoever receives the bouquet is supposed to be "next" to walk down the aisle."
"But Papa, that's not always accurate, and besides, this is just for fun, come on!" Halley smiled broadly at them.
Vince glanced at their daughter, trying to figure out what that smile signified. He knew their daughter well enough, but he wouldn't want to be such a spoilsport for the evening.
"I simply know you ought to grab that bouquet so you can proceed with your schemes, goofy bean," he whispered playfully, pinching Halley's nose.
Halley couldn't stop laughing, her papa clearly understood what she intended, "you know me so well, grumpy old bean!"
"Precisely, so kindly return the—"
"Oh-M-Gosh, Papa why would you be so paranoid? It's not like I'm planning to get married soon!"
"No one knows. Ikaw pa, you've been so silly lately and—"
"I swear, this is only for fun," Halley drew her Papa into an embrace, which eventually resulted in Vince surrendering to her, "Yay! Thank you, Papa! Love you!"
