FAQs
Question
What kind of wedding are you having?
Answer
We are having a private elopement in Joshua Tree National Park. It will just be us, the photographers, and officiant.
Question
Why Joshua Tree National Park for Your Wedding?
Answer
Cesar and Rosy find Joshua Tree very beautiful. Cesar especially likes the desert aesthetics. In addition, Joshua Tree is sentimental to us because it was the destination of our first trip together as a couple. We go to Joshua Tree every other year together. We chose the Hidden Valley Trail specifically because it’s our favorite hiking trail.
Question
Why did we decide to elope?
Answer
We wanted to avoid the stress of planning a larger wedding and create an intimate day focused on just us. As private people and self-proclaimed people-pleasers, we realized that a small wedding would allow us to focus on our own comfort and happiness without worrying about others' needs. We still love you all though :)
Question
Why did you chose September 13th as your wedding date?
Answer
We chose September 13, 2025, because it marks our eighth anniversary as a couple. We’ve been together since September 13, 2017, and we wanted to keep the same anniversary date. It's also very exciting when our anniversary falls on a Friday.
Question
Can we contact you on the wedding day?
Answer
Unfortunately, there’s no cell service at our wedding location in Joshua Tree National Park, so we won’t be reachable for a couple of hours. In addition, Cesar and I will begin our honeymoon shortly after. Feel free to send messages! We would love to read them after our trip. Replies can be expected after September 15th.
Question
When is your honeymoon?
Answer
Cesar and I will travel to Joshua Tree on September 12 to prepare for our wedding. Shortly after our sunset wedding, we will begin our honeymoon in Joshua Tree National Park. We booked a cabin just outside the park entrance. We plan on hiking, playing board games, watching movies, or enjoying other relaxing adventures during our honeymoon. Combining our wedding and honeymoon felt like the perfect way to make this experience even more meaningful.
Question
Will there be a reception or celebration?
Answer
While nothing is set in stone, we hope to host a small backyard party to celebrate our marriage if our budget allows it. Ideas include the 1 month post ceremony, 6 month anniversary, or possibly once our wedding photos are ready. I will send invitations if we follow through with this plan!
Question
How can we support you?
Answer
Respecting our decision to have a private elopement means the world to us. Please no asking if you can join us. Hopefully you can celebrate with us if we are able to plan our reception. Gifts are not required, but we truly appreciate any that are given. Our registry can be found on Zola (this website).
