The wedding guests participate in the traditional Swiss balloon ceremony, in which the newlywed's address is attached to balloons before they are released into the air. The hope is that anyone who finds one of the balloons will send the couple a small gift as a way of congratulating them. It's a tradition that connects strangers to one another and helps a new couple cherish this special time in their lives.
