Bethany and Nick's Ceremony at Germania Place

Sheri Reda, the ceremony’s officiator, met with Bethany and Nick before the wedding to have the couple fill out a detailed Q&A on their relationship history and future goals, which she later incorporated into the ceremony. It also brought Bethany and Nick even closer together, as Bethany says, “Nick and I talked about our answers over a bottle of whine, which was a fun pre-wedding bonding activity.”
