More than a definition — how it shows up in your timeline, budget, and guest list.
During many Filipino church weddings, a veil is draped over the couple and a decorative cord or yugal is placed in a figure-eight. The moment is brief but photo-critical.
Secondary sponsors typically place and remove these items. Rehearse once so nobody fumbles at the altar.
Tell your photo/video team the exact cue order (often after the candle rite). Put it on the shared timeline so cameras are not changing lenses mid-moment.
Confirm whether the parish provides the veil/cord or you must bring your own.
Assign backups if a secondary sponsor is delayed.
