The Buddhist Monk blesses the couple for the holy wedding ceremony.

It was an experience that Sinta and Matteo, a Buddhist couple with a huge heart, will never forget. They organized a small, intimate ceremony in the heart of the Tuscany Hills at a Buddhist centre. All of the guests felt as if they were on the top of the Himalayas. The Buddhist Monk welcomed the couple with a Peace White blessed scarf and dedicated a prayer to them in joy and silence before the traditional rice throw.

On the second day, the couple welcomed all the guests for the traditional civil ceremony, followed by a vegetarian lunch and ended the day with dancing and the traditional human pyramid game. Sinta, a Brit, and Matteo, an Italian, reunited friends and family from all over the world for an incredible wedding experience that embraced Buddhism and its blessings.

The two days of the elopement in Italy were unforgettable, with Buddhist echoes and feelings that will remain in the couple's hearts for years to come.
