Velvet ropes and bright lights lined the red carpet that was rolled out for 870 students from 16 stakes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Friday, May 3, all celebrating the 7th annual LDS prom at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, Calif. Mock-paparazzi photographers snapped welcoming shots of each couple or solo attendee who walked the red carpet. Large, multi-screen displays of those photos flashed on the interior walls of the venue throughout the entire evening as the 16- to 18-year-old attendees danced to current hits.
