Custom ceremony with meaning

For their ceremony, the couple's Episcopalian priest, Stacy Alan, officiated. Stacy was their college priest who had mentored them since the year they met. She prepped all of the guests a few minutes before the ceremony to familiarize them with the service. The bride and groom picked each of the readings, and Stacy delivered a personalized sermon.
