Tonya and John's wedding

Spring. A time for renewal, new beginings and a joyful celebration .

Tonya and John were married in a double-ring ceremony overlooking Willow Lake Saturday, April 25, 2009. Tonya wore a white, spring dress and carried a bouquet of tulips. The Matron of honor; Amy Goodman, sister of the bride. John's Best Man was Keith Nosler, best friend of the groom; Flower Girl, taylor Bentley, daughter of the bride. The bride was escorted by her two sons, Tyler and Trenton Bentley. Included was a ceremony involving the children.

I wish I could take credit for these professional photos. But I can't. Tonya's niece, Helena Goodman, age 16 is the talented photographer.

The bridal and attendant's bouquets and flower arrangements were artistic creations of Ruth Ann Leavitt, Tonya's Aunt.

Five musicians played the wedding march during the ceremony, then played beautiful, lively music throughout the reception which was attended by about 40 family and friends.
