What makes eloping so incredible is that you can plan your day(s) however you want; maybe even barely have any plans at all. You can choose to include a handful of your closest people, have your family meet you at a restaurant to celebrate, or do it all on your own- just the two of you.
Here’s an example of what a few days in Joshua Tree could look like for you.
