<font color="0077aa">kai, you may try this:
your mc should have caught the attention of the guest and formally introduce the groom before welcoming you.. usually like, "ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wedding solemnisation cum dinner of mr groom and ms bride. before we begin the ceremony, i gladly introduce to you, mr groom." the groom will stand up and acknowledge the guests and thereafter, stand to wait for his bride.
then the mc will formally begin the procession.. like, "now, let's put our hands together and welcome the bride and her dad, mr so-and-so"
hope this helps =)
