This Couple Ditched A Big Wedding For A Small, Romantic One In Iceland (Photos)

Getting married is supposed to be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

However, weddings aren't cheap, and even a modest reception will put quite a dent in your wallet. If there's one couple who knows this, it's Jeremy and Rachelle Garrett.

Instead of going with a traditional wedding, these two decided to spend their hard-earned cash on the trip of a lifetime and tied the knot in Iceland.

Within no time, these two were thousands of miles away from home and living out of a van as they trekked through Iceland's glaciers, explored waterfalls and waded through hot springs in search of the perfect place to exchange vows.

After traveling around much of the country, Jeremy and Rachelle knew they had finally found the perfect spot.

After exchanging vows these newlyweds hopped back in their van and continued on their expedition as husband and wife.

Luckily, Jeremy and Rachelle hired photographer Troy Moth to follow them around afterward and capture the special moments they shared during their travels.

All of their photos look absolutely incredible, and if you ask me, their journey sounds a lot more fun than eating sh*tty reception hall food and watching your relatives dance for three hours.

Take a look at the pictures below to see their amazing trip.
