The church made everything themselves
We lit each candle and placed it on the coaster.
As we lit them we would tell one thing that we remembered about that year.
We had two helpers who held the candles and coasters
When it started
25 coasters had each year of our marriage on it.
There was a short program
Burkhard read 1 Cor. 13 in German as he did at the wedding and David read it in English.
