The Rev. Jim Diamond performed the double ring ceremony at 6 o’clock in the evening.

Recorded selections included “I need You,” “Be,” “Take My Breath Away” and “I Do Cherish You.”
The bride was given in marriage by her father. She was attired in a long, white satin design by Michaelangelo. The fitted bodice featuring an off-the-shoulder sweetheart neckline, and a cascading train were embossed with flowers, pearls, lace and sequins. Her waist-length veil edged in satin ribbon was attached to a diamond and pearl tiara.
The bridal bouquet made by Stella Patrick was arranged with calla lilies, blue and yellow flowers, baby’s breath and greenery tied with white satin ribbon. Tucked into the bouquet was an antique crocheted lace handkerchief made by her grandmother Sanders.
Ginger Gann served as her sister’s maid of honor. Chosen as bridesmaids were Katie Patton and Nora Sanders, all wearing princess-style gowns of flowing periwinkle chiffon. They held bouquets made similar to the bride’s.
Flower girl Laura Ann Gryder was wearing a white lace, princess-style gown. Her beaded blue and white headband matched the flower basket she carried.
Ring bearer was Brendon Breedlove.
