Miss Sarah Albrecht, accompanied by Deon Larsen at the organ, sang, "Oh Promise Me" and "The Lord’s Prayer." 
 

As the bride was given in marriage by her father, she wore a floor length dress fashioned with a full bouffant skirt with tiers of Rochelle lace extending from waist to floor. The smooth fitting bodice was accented with a sweetheart neckline and long fitted sleeves.  Her fingertip veil of sheer illusion net cascaded from a hand-rolled, edged Alencon head crown of pearls and sequins.  Her heart shaped bridal bouquet consisted of red roses and Lily of the Valley, centered with a white orchid.
