Madison LeCroy’s beachside Mexican wedding toBrett Randleover the weekend was missing one big elementSouthern Charmfans might have expected — her costars!
LeCroy, 32, tells PEOPLE that no one from the long-running Bravo series was invited to her nuptials because she and Randle chose to keep their ceremony intimate, inviting just their closest friends and family.
“We only had about 40 people there,” she says. “Honestly, with both of our families, if we even invited our cousins, it would be a 300-person wedding. So we really just kept it to our nearest and dearest.”
Bravo cameras weren’t there either, though thefirst footage from the tropical wedding will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Liveon Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.
As for theSouthern Charmcast, LeCroy notes that her fellow Charmers — Venita Aspen,Leva Bonaparte,Craig Conover,Kathryn Dennis,Taylor Ann Green, Marcie Hobbs,Olivia Flowers,Austen Kroll, Chleb Ravenell andShep Rose, who all appeared last season with LeCroy alongside Charleston Grand DamePatricia Altschul,Whitney Sudler-SmithandJohn Pringle— likely wouldn’t come anyway.

LeCroy and Randle tied the knot on Saturday at theChablé Maromain Riviera Maya, Mexico — a Caribbean coastline celebration that came three days after theSouthern Charmstar and Randlewed in a courthousein Charleston, South Carolina.
“We didn’t want to have some elaborate wedding here in Charleston with 300 people. That just wasn’t our vibe,” LeCroy continues. “And if it wasn’t for Hudson, we probably would have just eloped and [not done] a wedding. But he wanted something special so we chose the beach — and specifically Riviera Maya, because that was a destination we’d been to together and knew that our guests would love it just as much as we did.”

And though LeCroy loved the details of the big day, she tells PEOPLE she cares more about the marriage than she does about the wedding.
“I’m just so happy and so proud to be able to call him my husband,” LeCroy gushes. “I’ve never felt that. So all these other things like cake and table settings and font on the invitations — that was just so far from anything I was focusing on. That’s not why we’re doing it.”
“I’ve definitely found that forever partner,” she adds. “What’s so special about marriage is you become this unit. And for [my son] Hudson and I to be able to have somebody in our lives who just completes us is more than I could ever ask for.”
