Helena and Chasen, a couple with Swiss and American backgrounds, chose to celebrate their wedding in Zurich, Switzerland, Helena's hometown. Their wedding weekend was memorable, marked by a continuous downpour that began with thunderstorms during their welcome dinner at the Zunfthaus zur Waage and lasted throughout the whole event. Despite the weather, the mood remained high among their families and friends from around the world. On the wedding day, the bridal party got ready at Greifensee Castle, from where, in a touch of quaint charm, they traveled to the church in Gfenn on a vintage bus, making for picturesque moments and a joyful start to the day's celebrations. The ceremony was marked by Helena's entrance to the church with Bach’s Fantasia C-dur playing, setting a solemn and beautiful tone for the event. The couple's exit was accompanied by Mendelssohn’s wedding march from "Midsummer Night’s Dream," adding a festive note to the conclusion of the ceremony. The reception was held at Gasthof Sternen, a location with personal ties to Helena’s family, adding a layer of intimacy to the celebration. Despite the persistent rain, the wedding was a joyful celebration of love, unity, and the coming together of two families from different cultural backgrounds. The weekend was filled with moments of love, laughter, and the promise of shared adventures ahead, showcasing the couple's commitment and the support of their families and friends.
