Congratulations to the Newly-Re-Weds!

On Saturday evening we had a very special Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony. Fifteen couples participated, at least one still short of their first anniversary, and some well into their third or fourth decades together. In a combined wedding ceremony they all rededicated themselves to each other and to God and Gurus.

Friends and family were invited to attend, and it was a truly delightful ceremony to watch. We spend a lot of time here at Ananda focusing inwardly on God, which is of course what we're here to do. But it was very sweet to take a little time to focus on some of the incredibly dear people and relationships we have around us. 

Participants were invited to bring photos from their original weddings, all of which were absolutely adorable. And of course, what would a wedding be without wedding cake? Ananda Palo Alto's very own Fig Tree Bakers turned out a two-tiered, gluten-free, lemon cake with buttercream frosting, and matching cupcakes, for a tasty and celebratory way to end the evening.

Congratulations and blessings to all the happy couples!
