The bride and groom stood in a doorway that bridged the consulate with the Albertine bookshop, while their 140 guests surrounded them. A friend officiated, weaving both religious and cultural traditions into the ceremony. “We thought critically about which traditions aligned with our values and ditched the ones that did not,” Sierra says.
