Legally speaking, the primary sponsors are entourage members you cannot do without, since they will sign your marriage contract. Traditionally, couples choose the same number of ninongs and ninangs, but there is no rule specifying that clause. Your primary sponsors will serve as your godparents, so choose people that can give good advice on your marriage. Find sponsors whose marriages you want to emulate as you grow older.

The candle sponsors will light the candles beside you; the practice symbolizes God's guidance. The veil sponsors will place the veil over your head and the groom’s shoulder to signify that you are clothed as one, while the cord sponsors will connect you with the cord to symbolize the binding nature of your marriage.
