Angela picked up this beautiful necklace at her home town in San Luis Obispo from designer Li Li Clever.

Steven Goodman, professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, tied the knots. Lama Anam Thubten Rinoche, from the Dharmata Foundation,  blessed the couple with the Heart Sutra Chant.

Nick’s parent provided their beautiful home west of Hopland – Tuscan ambiance in nestled in the beautiful golden hills of California.

Angela + Nick had a special wedding favor: a precious music DVD  custom designed  by Kelty of SteepStreet. The design is a synthesis of various images of their past life and various travels together,  a “whimsical, colorful and personal collage.”
