why we skipped the big wedding for a swiss adventure
We never liked big social gatherings—honestly, the thought of a crowded wedding made both of us anxious. Instead, we decided to do something that felt more like us. We packed our bags, booked two tickets to Switzerland, and said our vows in private, just the two of us. No fancy ballroom, no distant relatives we barely know, just the mountains, fresh air, and each other.
But here's the thing: while the scenery was breathtaking and it felt incredibly intimate, I sometimes wonder if we missed out on those wild family stories and awkward dance moves you only get at a big wedding. Plus, my mom still brings up how she wishes she could've seen us walk down the aisle.
Has anyone else skipped the traditional wedding route for something smaller or more adventurous? Did you ever regret not having the big celebration, or did you feel relieved to avoid all the chaos? I keep thinking about how peaceful it was, but sometimes I wonder if we lost something by not sharing it with everyone.
