2 ERRORS:
"There were two priests there – one for the groom and one for the bride."
Only one "presbyter", not a priest, conducts the service, the others are honored guests who stand next to the presbyter in-charge. The headline says 4 priests, the text 2.
Presbyter is the presiding elder, a lay-minister, a volunteer .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyter
Not to be confused with a a "priest' which in many religions is a full-time assignment...
