The ceremony started with the candle lighting by Heather Lane (cousin of bride) and Mindy Kleinheksel (friend of groom and girlfriend of the best man) and Jack Luneen (friend of bride and boyfriend of Heather Lane) and Victor Tenorio (friend of bride and groom and brother of maid of honor). (Heather and Mindy are pictured.)



The candelabras were decorated with many flowers.



While the candles were being lit, a close friend of the bride's family, Sandra Halverson, sang Entreat Me Not to Leave Thee from the story of Ruth.
