CARSON CITY -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio, R-Reno, married Dale K. Checket on Sunday in a ceremony in the governor's mansion attended by about 125 friends and guests.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Bob Buchanan, pastor of Our Lady of Snows Catholic Church in Reno, where Raggio is a member.

A reception followed the ceremony in the Nevada Room, adjacent to the mansion.

Raggio, 76, first met Checket 36 years ago when she came to Reno and Raggio represented her in a court proceeding. Checket, 61, is a former manager of a consultant office in Florida where she worked with her father, Everett S. Checket.
