Love Is All You Need

Here is a brief summary of Aaron and Namgyals wedding day. I have more pictures and will figure out how to post them on a picture site. 
We started off the day with a Tibetan ceremony, Namgyals mom made all the food, a lot of which was brought over from Tibet and not available anywhere else in the world. The food was given as offerings and symbolize various great things for the new couple. 
Next we went to the Oakland courthouse where they were married in a little chapel room.
We went for dinner at Skates on the Bay at the Berkeley marina, Aaron had lobster for the first time, then home for wedding cake! Congrats A and N, you guys are the best!

Tibetan wedding ceremony, abbreviated. There are offerings to Buddha and the Dalai Lama, and the wedding party eats symbolic food that promotes longevity, prosperity and many other things regarding the new couple.
